.SS "new($context, \e%config)"
.IX Subsection "new($context, %config)"
Creates a new Template::View presenting a custom view of the specified
\&\f(CW$context\fR object.
.PP
A reference to a hash array of configuration options may be passed as the
second argument.
.IP "prefix" 4
.IX Item "prefix"
Prefix added to all template names.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& [% USE view(prefix => \*(Aqmy_\*(Aq) %]
\& [% view.view(\*(Aqfoo\*(Aq, a => 20) %] # => my_foo
.Ve
.IP "suffix" 4
.IX Item "suffix"
Suffix added to all template names.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& [% USE view(suffix => \*(Aq.tt2\*(Aq) %]
\& [% view.view(\*(Aqfoo\*(Aq, a => 20) %] # => foo.tt2
.Ve
.IP "map" 4
.IX Item "map"
Hash array mapping reference types to template names. The \fBprint()\fR
method uses this to determine which template to use to present any
particular item. The \s-1TEXT, HASH\s0 and \s-1ARRAY\s0 items default to 'test',
\&'hash' and 'list' appropriately.
.Sp
.Vb 3
\& [% USE view(map => { ARRAY => \*(Aqmy_list\*(Aq,
\& HASH => \*(Aqyour_hash\*(Aq,
\& My::Foo => \*(Aqmy_foo\*(Aq, } ) %]
\&

.Ve
.IP "method" 4
.IX Item "method"
Name of a method which objects passed to \fBprint()\fR may provide for presenting
themselves to the view. If a specific map entry can't be found for an
object reference and it supports the method (default: 'present') then
the method will be called, passing the view as an argument. The object
can then make callbacks against the view to present itself.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& package Foo;
\&
\& sub present {
\& my ($self, $view) = @_;
\& return "a regular view of a Foo\en";
\& }
\&
\& sub debug {
\& my ($self, $view) = @_;
\& return "a debug view of a Foo\en";
\& }
.Ve
.Sp
In a template:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& [% USE view %]
\& [% view.print(my_foo_object) %] # a regular view of a Foo
\&
\& [% USE view(method => \*(Aqdebug\*(Aq) %]
\& [% view.print(my_foo_object) %] # a debug view of a Foo
.Ve
.IP "default" 4
.IX Item "default"
Default template to use if no specific map entry is found for an item.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& [% USE view(default => \*(Aqmy_object\*(Aq) %]
\&
\& [% view.print(objref) %] # => my_object
.Ve
.Sp
If no map entry or default is provided then the view will attempt to
construct a template name from the object class, substituting any
sequence of non-word characters to single underscores, e.g.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& # \*(Aqfubar\*(Aq is an object of class Foo::Bar
\& [% view.print(fubar) %] # => Foo_Bar
.Ve
.Sp
Any current prefix and suffix will be added to both the default template
name and any name constructed from the object class.
.IP "notfound" 4
.IX Item "notfound"
Fallback template to use if any other isn't found.
.IP "item" 4
.IX Item "item"
Name of the template variable to which the \fBprint()\fR method assigns the current
item. Defaults to 'item'.
.Sp
.Vb 5
\& [% USE view %]
\& [% BLOCK list %]
\& [% item.join(\*(Aq, \*(Aq) %]
\& [% END %]
\& [% view.print(a_list) %]
\&
\& [% USE view(item => \*(Aqthing\*(Aq) %]
\& [% BLOCK list %]
\& [% thing.join(\*(Aq, \*(Aq) %]
\& [% END %]
\& [% view.print(a_list) %]
.Ve
.IP "view_prefix" 4
.IX Item "view_prefix"
Prefix of methods which should be mapped to \fBview()\fR by \s-1AUTOLOAD.\s0 Defaults
to 'view_'.
.Sp
.Vb 2
\& [% USE view %]
\& [% view.view_header() %] # => view(\*(Aqheader\*(Aq)
\&
\& [% USE view(view_prefix => \*(Aqshow_me_the_\*(Aq %]
\& [% view.show_me_the_header() %] # => view(\*(Aqheader\*(Aq)
.Ve
.IP "view_naked" 4
.IX Item "view_naked"
Flag to indicate if any attempt should be made to map method names to
template names where they don't match the view_prefix. Defaults to 0.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& [% USE view(view_naked => 1) %]
\&
\& [% view.header() %] # => view(\*(Aqheader\*(Aq)
.Ve
