CatalystX::CRUD::YUI::View(3)

NAME
CatalystX::CRUD::YUI::View - base View class

SYNOPSIS
 # see catalyst::View::TT

DESCRIPTION
CatalystX::CRUD::YUI::View is a subclass of Catalyst::View::TT that extends the base class in a few minor ways. See METHODS for details.

CONFIGURATION
Configuration is the same as with Catalyst::View::TT. Read those docs.

The default config here is:

 __PACKAGE__->config(
    TEMPLATE_EXTENSION => '.tt',
    PRE_PROCESS        => 'crud/tt_config.tt',
    WRAPPER            => 'crud/wrapper.tt',
 );

METHODS
Only new or overridden method are documented here.

  new
Overrides base new() method. Sets INCLUDE_PATH to the base CatalystX::CRUD::YUI::TT .tt files plus your local app root. This means you can override the default template behaviour by putting a .tt file with the same name in your "root" template dir.

For example, to customize your "wrapper.tt" file, just copy the default one from the "CatalystX/CRUD/YUI/TT/crud/wrapper.tt" in @INC and put it in "root/crud/wrapper.tt". Likewise, you can set up a global config file by creating a "root/crud/tt_config.tt" file and putting your MACROs and other TT stuff in there.

  template_vars
Overrides base method to add some other default variables.

•   The "yui" variable is a CatalystX::CRUD::YUI object.

•   The "page" variable is a hashref with members js and css. It is used by crud/page_head_maker.tt to ease the addition of per-request .js and .css files. Stuff the base file name into the array in each .tt file to get those files included in the page header.

    Example:

     [% page.css.push('foo') %]

     # html <head> section will contain:
     # <link type="stylesheet" href="[% static_url %]/css/foo.css" />

•   The "static_url" variable defaults to $c->uri_for('/static'). You can override that in $c->config() by setting a 'static_url' value to whatever base URL you wish. Ideal for serving your static content from different URL than your dynamic content.

  process
Overrides base method to test if "template" is set in stash, and if it is, tests that it exists before calling next::method(). If it does not exist, will change the "template" value in stash to be "crud/file.tt"> in order to call the default crud template.

This path mangling allows you to avoid creating .tt files for all your actions unless you want to override the default template's behaviour.

  render
Overrides base method to coerce output into UTF-8.
