Hi,
thanks for __counter__ and <tmpl_var default> in version 2.6.
I'd like to suggest another feature:
setting hashrefs as template parameters with the effect that
HTML::Template retrieves all key/value-pairs from the hashref and sets
corresponding parameters.
The parameters follow a hierarchical naming scheme, so that you do not
run into name-clashes and can easily keep track where the parameters are
coming from.
Use like this:
$html->param('test'=>
{
'a' =>
{'a' => 1, 'b' => 2},
'b' =>
{'c'=>3, 'd'=>4}
}
);
to set
<tmpl_var name='test/a/a'>
<tmpl_var name='test/a/b'>
<tmpl_var name='test/b/c'>
<tmpl_var name='test/b/d'>
Anyone else think this is useful?
Cheers,
Thilo Planz
===================
Here is the patch:
# if the value is a hashref,
# construct parameters from its key/value-pairs
# and set them using recursion
if (ref $value and UNIVERSAL::isa($value, 'HASH')){
foreach (keys %$value){
$self->param(($param.'/'.$_)=>$value->{$_});
}
return;
}
these lines go into HTML::Template (method param), just before
# check that this param exists in the template
$options->{die_on_bad_params} and !exists($param_map->{$param}) and
croak("HTML::Template : Attempt to set nonexistent parameter
'$param' - this parameter name doesn't match any declarations in the
template file : (die_on_bad_params => 1)");
======================
PS:
I wouldn't try to stuff a hashref that contains recursive references
into the method.....
