Dist::Zilla::Role::TextTemplate(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::TextTemplate - something that renders a Text::Template template string

VERSION
version 6.037

DESCRIPTION
Plugins implementing TextTemplate may call their own "fill_in_string" method to render templates using Text::Template.

PERL VERSION
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

  delim
This attribute (which can't easily be set!) is a two-element array reference returning the Text::Template delimiters to use. It defaults to "{{" and "}}".

METHODS

  fill_in_string
  my $rendered = $plugin->fill_in_string($template, \%stash, \%arg);

This uses Text::Template to fill in the given template using the variables given in the %stash. The stash becomes the HASH argument to Text::Template, so scalars must be scalar references rather than plain scalars.

%arg is dereferenced and passed in as extra arguments to Text::Template's "new" routine.
