=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Template::Alloy::Velocity role provides the syntax and the
interface for the Velocity Templating Language (VTL). It also brings
many of the features from the various templating systems.
See the Template::Alloy documentation for configuration and other parameters.
The following documents have more information about the velocity language.
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/vtl-reference-guide.html
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2001/jw-1228-velocity.html?page=4
=head1 TODO
Add language usage and samples.
=head1 ROLE METHODS
=over 4
=item C<parse_tree_velocity>
Used bh the parse_tree method when SYNTAX is set to 'velocity'.
=item C<merge>
Similar to process_simple, but with syntax set to velocity.
=back
=head1 UNSUPPORTED VELOCITY SPEC
=over 4
=item
The magic Java Velocity property lookups don't exist. You must use
the actual method name, Alloy will not try to guess it for you. Java
Velocity allows you to type $object.Attribute and Java Velocity will
look for the Attribute, getAttribute, getattribute, isAttribute
methods. In Perl Alloy, you can call $object.can('Attribute') to
introspect the object.
=item
Escaping of variables is consistent. The Java Velocity spec is not.
The velocity spec says that "\\$email" will return "\\$email" if email
is not defined and it will return "\foo" if email is equal to "foo".
The slash behavior magically changes according to the spec. In Alloy
the "\\$email" would be "\$email" if email is not defined.
=item
You can set items to null (undefined) in Alloy. According to the Java
Velocity reference-guide you have to configure Velocity to do this.
To get the other behavior, you would need to do
"#if($questionable)#set($foo=$questionable)#end". The default
Velocity spec way provides no way for checking null return values.
=item
There currently isn't a "literal" directive. The VTL reference-guide
doesn't mention #literal, but the user-guide does. In Alloy you can
use the following:
#get('#foreach($a in [1..3]) $a #end')
We will probably add the literal support - but it will still have to parse the
document, so unless you are using compile_perl, you will parse literal sections
multiple times.
=item
There is no "$velocityCount" . Use "$loop.count" .
=item
In Alloy, excess whitespace outside of the directive matters. In the
VTL user-guide it mentions that all excess whitespace is gobbled up.
Alloy supports the TT chomp operators. These operators are placed
just inside the open and close parenthesis of directives as in the
following:
#set(~ $a = 1 ~)
=item
In Alloy, division using "/" is always floating point. If you want integer
division, use "div". In Java Velocity, "/" division is integer only if
both numbers are integers.
=item
Perl doesn't support negative ranges. However, arrays do have the reverse method.
#foreach( $bar in [-2 .. 2].reverse ) $bar #end
=item
In Alloy arguments to macros are passed by value, not by name. This
is easy to achieve with alloy - simply encase your arguments in single
quotes and then eval the argument inside the macro. The velocity
people claim this feature as a jealously guarded feature. My first
template system "WrapEx" had the same feature. It happened as an
accident. It represents lazy software architecture and is difficult to
optimize.
