Dancer2::Core::Role::Template(3)

NAME
Dancer2::Core::Role::Template - Role for template engines

VERSION
version 2.0.0

DESCRIPTION
Any class that consumes this role will be able to be used as a template engine under Dancer2.

In order to implement this role, the consumer must implement the method "render". This method will receive three arguments:

$self
$template
$tokens

Any template receives the following tokens, by default:

•   "perl_version"

    Current version of perl, effectively $^V.

•   "dancer_version"

    Current version of Dancer2, effectively "Dancer2->VERSION".

•   "settings"

    A hash of the application configuration.

•   "request"

    The current request object.

•   "params"

    A hash reference of all the parameters.

    Currently the equivalent of "$request->params".

•   "vars"

    The list of request variables, which is what you would get if you called the "vars" keyword.

•   "session"

    The current session data, if a session exists.
