=head1 NAME
Template::Iterator - Data iterator used by the FOREACH directive
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new(\@data, \%options);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Template::Iterator> module defines a generic data iterator for use
by the C<FOREACH> directive.
It may be used as the base class for custom iterators.
=head1 PUBLIC METHODS
=head2 new($data)
Constructor method. A reference to a list of values is passed as the
first parameter. Subsequent calls to L<get_first()> and L<get_next()> calls
will return each element from the list.
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new([ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ]);
The constructor will also accept a reference to a hash array and will
expand it into a list in which each entry is a hash array containing
a 'C<key>' and 'C<value>' item, sorted according to the hash keys.
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new({
foo => 'Foo Item',
bar => 'Bar Item',
});
This is equivalent to:
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new([
{ key => 'bar', value => 'Bar Item' },
{ key => 'foo', value => 'Foo Item' },
]);
When passed a single item which is not an array reference, the constructor
will automatically create a list containing that single item.
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new('foo');
This is equivalent to:
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new([ 'foo' ]);
Note that a single item which is an object based on a blessed ARRAY
references will NOT be treated as an array and will be folded into
a list containing that one object reference.
my $list = bless [ 'foo', 'bar' ], 'MyListClass';
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new($list);
equivalent to:
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new([ $list ]);
If the object provides an C<as_list()> method then the L<Template::Iterator>
constructor will call that method to return the list of data. For example:
package MyListObject;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
bless [ @_ ], $class;
}
package main;
my $list = MyListObject->new('foo', 'bar');
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new($list);
This is then functionally equivalent to:
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new([ $list ]);
The iterator will return only one item, a reference to the C<MyListObject>
object, C<$list>.
By adding an C<as_list()> method to the C<MyListObject> class, we can force
the C<Template::Iterator> constructor to treat the object as a list and
use the data contained within.
package MyListObject;
...
sub as_list {
my $self = shift;
return $self;
}
package main;
my $list = MyListObject->new('foo', 'bar');
my $iter = Template::Iterator->new($list);
The iterator will now return the two items, 'C<foo>' and 'C<bar>', which the
C<MyObjectList> encapsulates.
=head2 get_first()
Returns a C<($value, $error)> pair for the first item in the iterator set.
The C<$error> returned may be zero or undefined to indicate a valid datum
was successfully returned. Returns an error of C<STATUS_DONE> if the list
is empty.
=head2 get_next()
Returns a C<($value, $error)> pair for the next item in the iterator set.
Returns an error of C<STATUS_DONE> if all items in the list have been
visited.
=head2 get_all()
Returns a C<(\@values, $error)> pair for all remaining items in the iterator
set. Returns an error of C<STATUS_DONE> if all items in the list have been
visited.
=head2 size()
Returns the size of the data set or undef if unknown.
=head2 max()
Returns the maximum index number (i.e. the index of the last element)
which is equivalent to L<size()> - C<1>.
=head2 index()
Returns the current index number which is in the range C<0> to L<max()>.
=head2 count()
Returns the current iteration count in the range C<1> to L<size()>. This is
equivalent to L<index()> + C<1>.
=head2 first()
Returns a boolean value to indicate if the iterator is currently on
the first iteration of the set.
=head2 last()
Returns a boolean value to indicate if the iterator is currently on
the last iteration of the set.
=head2 prev()
Returns the previous item in the data set, or C<undef> if the iterator is
on the first item.
=head2 next()
Returns the next item in the data set or C<undef> if the iterator is on the
last item.
=head2 parity()
Returns the text string C<even> or C<odd> to indicate the parity of the
current iteration count (starting at 1). This is typically used to create
striped I<zebra tables>.
<table>
[% FOREACH name IN ['Arthur', 'Ford', 'Trillian'] -%]
<tr class="[% loop.parity %]">
<td>[% name %]</td>
</tr>
[% END %]
</table>
This will produce the following output:
<table>
<tr class="odd">
<td>Arthur</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td>Ford</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td>Trillian</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can then style the C<tr.odd> and C<tr.even> elements using CSS:
tr.odd td {
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
tr.even td {
background-color: white;
color: black;
}
=head2 odd()
Returns a boolean (0/1) value to indicate if the current iterator count
(starting at 1) is an odd number. In other words, this will return a true
value for the first iterator, the third, fifth, and so on.
=head2 even()
Returns a boolean (0/1) value to indicate if the current iterator count
(starting at 1) is an even number. In other words, this will return a true
value for the second iteration, the fourth, sixth, and so on.
