Template::Flute - Modern designer-friendly HTML templating Engine

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.0052

our $VERSION = '0.0052';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Template::Flute;

    my ($cart, $flute, %values);

    $cart = [{...},{...}];
    $values{cost} = ...

    $flute = new Template::Flute(specification_file => 'cart.xml',
                           template_file => 'cart.html',
                           iterators => {cart => $cart},
                           values => \%values,
                           );

    print $flute->process();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Template::Flute enables you to completely separate web design and programming
tasks for dynamic web applications.

Templates are designed to be designer-friendly; there's no inline code or mini
templating language for your designers to learn - instead, standard HTML and CSS
classes are used, leading to HTML that can easily be understood and edited by
WYSIWYG editors and hand-coding designers alike.

An example is easier than a wordy description:

Given the following template snippet:

    <div class="customer_name">Mr A Test</div>
    <div class="customer_email">someone@example.com</div>

and the following specification:

   <specification name="example" description="Example">
        <value name="customer_name" />
        <value name="email" field="customer_email" />
    </specification>

Processing the above as follows:

    $flute = Template::Flute->new(
        template_file      => 'template.html',
        specification_file => 'spec.xml',
    );
    $flute->set_values({
        customer_name => 'Bob McTest',
        email => 'bob@example.com',
    });;
    print $flute->process;

The resulting output would be:

    <div class="customer_name">Bob McTest</div>
    <div class="email">bob@example.com</div>


In other words, rather than including a templating language within your
templates which your designers must master and which could interfere with
previews in WYSWYG tools, CSS selectors in the template are tied to your
data structures or objects by a specification provided by the programmer.


=head2 Workflow

The easiest way to use Template::Flute is to pass all necessary parameters to
the constructor and call the process method to generate the HTML.

You can also break it down in separate steps:

=over 4

=item 1. Parse specification

Parse specification based on your specification format (e.g with
L<Template::Flute::Specification::XML> or L<Template::Flute::Specification::Scoped>.).

    $xml_spec = new Template::Flute::Specification::XML;
    $spec = $xml_spec->parse(q{<specification name="cart" description="Cart">
         <list name="cart" class="cartitem" iterator="cart">
         <param name="name" field="title"/>
         <param name="quantity"/>
         <param name="price"/>
         </list>
         <value name="cost"/>
         </specification>});

=item 2. Parse template

Parse template with L<Template::Flute::HTML> object.

    $template = new Template::Flute::HTML;
    $template->parse(q{<html>
        <head>
        <title>Cart Example</title>
        </head>
        <body>
        <table class="cart">
        <tr class="cartheader">
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Quantity</th>
        <th>Price</th>
        </tr>
        <tr class="cartitem">
        <td class="name">Sample Book</td>
        <td><input class="quantity" name="quantity" size="3" value="10"></td>
        <td class="price">$1</td>
        </tr>
        <tr class="cartheader"><th colspan="2"></th><th>Total</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td colspan="2"></td><td class="cost">$10</td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        </body></html>},
        $spec);

=item 3. Produce HTML output

    $flute = new Template::Flute(template => $template,
                               iterators => {cart => $cart},
                               values => {cost => '84.94'});
    $flute->process();

=head2 set_values HASHREF

Sets hash reference of values to be used by the process method.
Same as passing the hash reference as values argument to the
constructor.

=cut

sub set_values {
	my ($self, $values) = @_;

	$self->{values} = $values;
}

=head2 template

Returns HTML template object, see L<Template::Flute::HTML> for
details.

=cut

sub template {
	my $self = shift;

	return $self->{template};
}

=head2 specification

Returns specification object, see L<Template::Flute::Specification> for
details.

=cut

sub specification {
	my $self = shift;

	return $self->{specification};
}

=head1 SPECIFICATION

The specification ties the elements in the HTML template to the data
(variables, lists, forms) which is added to the template.

The default format for the specification is XML implemented by the
L<Template::Flute::Specification::XML> module. You can use the Config::Scoped
format implemented by L<Template::Flute::Specification::Scoped> module or
write your own specification parser class.

Possible elements in the specification are:

=over 4

=item container

The first container is only shown in the output if the value C<billing_address> is set:

  <container name="billing" value="billing_address" class="billingWrapper">
  </container>

The second container is shown if the value C<warnings> or the value C<errors> is set:

  <container name="account_errors" value="warnings|errors" class="infobox">
  <value name="warnings"/>
  <value name="errors"/>
  </container>

=item list

=item separator

Separator elements for list are added after any list item in the output with
the exception of the last one.

Example specification, HTML template and output:

  <specification>
  <list name="list" iterator="tokens">
  <param name="key"/>
  <separator name="sep"/>
  </list>
  </specification>

  <div class="list"><span class="key">KEY</span></div><span class="sep"> | </span>

  <div class="list"><span class="key">FOO</span></div><span class="sep"> | </span>
  <div class="list"><span class="key">BAR</span></div>

=item param

Param elements are replaced with the corresponding value from the list iterator.

The following operations are supported for param elements:

=over 4

=item append
 
Appends the param value to the text found in the HTML template.

=item toggle

Only shows corresponding HTML element if param value is set.

=back

Other attributes for param elements are:

=over 4

=item filter

Applies filter to param value.

=item increment

Uses value from increment instead of a value from the iterator.

    <param name="pos" increment="1">

=back

=item value

Value elements are replaced with a single value present in the values hash
passed to the constructor of this class or later set with the
L<set_values|/set_values_HASHREF> method.

The following operations are supported for value elements:

=over 4

=item append

Appends the value to the text found in the HTML template.

=item hook

Insert HTML residing in value as subtree of the corresponding HTML element.
HTML will be parsed with L<XML::Twig>.

=item toggle

Only shows corresponding HTML element if value is set.

=back

Other attributes for value elements are:

=over 4

=item filter

Applies filter to value.

=item include

Processes the template file named in this attribute. This implies
the hook operation.

=back

=item form

Form elements are tied through specification to HTML forms.
Attributes for form elements in addition to C<class> and C<id> are:

=over 4

=item link

The link attribute can only have the value C<name> and allows to
base the relationship between form specification elements and HTML
form tags on the name HTML attribute instead of C<class>, which
is usually more convenient.

=back

=item input

=item filter

=item sort	

=item i18n

=back

=head1 ITERATORS

Template::Flute uses iterators to retrieve list elements and insert them into
the document tree. This abstraction relieves us from worrying about where
the data actually comes from. We basically just need an array of hash
references and an iterator class with a next and a count method. For your
convenience you can create an iterator from L<Template::Flute::Iterator>
class very easily.

=head1 LISTS

Lists can be accessed after parsing the specification and the HTML template
through the HTML template object:

    $flute->template->lists();

    $flute->template->list('cart');

Only lists present in the specification and the HTML template can be
addressed in this way.

See L<Template::Flute::List> for details about lists.

=head1 FORMS

Forms can be accessed after parsing the specification and the HTML template
through the HTML template object:

    $flute->template->forms();

    $flute->template->form('edit_content');

Only forms present in the specification and the HTML template can be
addressed in this way.

See L<Template::Flute::Form> for details about forms.

=head1 FILTERS

Filters are used to change the display of value and param elements in
the resulting HTML output:

    <value name="billing_address" filter="eol"/>

    <param name="price" filter="currency"/>

The following filters are included:

=over 4

=item upper

Uppercase filter, see L<Template::Flute::Filter::Upper>.

=item eol

Filter preserving line breaks, see L<Template::Flute::Filter::Eol>.

=item nobreak_single

Filter replacing missing text with no-break space,
see L<Template::Flute::Filter::NobreakSingle>.

=item currency

Currency filter, see L<Template::Flute::Filter::Currency>.
Requires L<Number::Format> module.

=item date

Date filter, see L<Template::Flute::Filter::Date>.
Requires L<DateTime> and L<DateTime::Format::ISO8601> modules.

=item country_name

Country name filter, see L<Template::Flute::Filter::CountryName>.
Requires L<Locales> module.

=item language_name

Language name filter, see L<Template::Flute::Filter::LanguageName>.
Requires L<Locales> module.

=back

Filter classes are loaded at runtime for efficiency and to keep the
number of dependencies for Template::Flute as small as possible.

See above for prerequisites needed by the included filter classes.

=head1 INCLUDES

Files, especially components for web pages can be processed and included
through value elements with the include attribute:

    <value name="sidebar" include="component.html"/>

The result replaces the inner HTML of the following C<div> tag:

    <div class="sidebar">
        Sample content
    </div>
