masontidy - Tidy HTML::Mason / Mason components

version 2.57

Tidy component, write to standard output:
% masontidy -m [1|2] file.mc
Tidy component(s) in place:
% masontidy -m [1|2] -r file1.mc [file2.mc ...]
Tidy standard input, write to standard output:
% masontidy -m [1|2] -p|--pipe < file.mc

masontidy tidies Mason 1 and Mason 2 components, using perltidy to format the Perl code that can be embedded in various places in the component. masontidy does not (yet) attempt to tidy the HTML or other non-Perl content in a component.
For example, this:
<body>
%if($contents||$allow_empty) {
<ul>
%foreach my $line (@lines) {
%chomp($line);
<li>
<%2+(3-4)*6%>
</li>
<li><% foo($.bar,$.baz, $.bleah)%></li>
%}
</ul>
%}
</body>
<%init>
my @articles = @{Blog::Article::Manager->get_articles(sort_by=>"create_time",limit=>5)};
</%init>
becomes this:
<body>
% if ( $contents || $allow_empty ) {
<ul>
% foreach my $line (@lines) {
% chomp($line);
<li>
<% 2 + ( 3 - 4 ) * 6 %>
</li>
<li><% foo( $.bar, $.baz, $.bleah) %></li>
% }
</ul>
%}
</body>
<%init>
my @articles =
@{ Blog::Article::Manager->get_articles
( sort_by => "create_time", limit => 5 ) };
</%init>
<%perl> blocks. These are indented relative to each other regardless of intervening non-Perl content, e.g. note the indentation of the foreach and chomp lines above.<%init>, <%once>, <%class>, and <%filter> blocks are tidied in isolation from one another.<% %> and <& &> tags.
There are three ways of invoking masontidy:
For more advanced options, consider using masontidy with tidyall; it will let you write to files with a separate extension, backup files before overwriting, etc.

You can specify default options in the MASONTIDY_OPT environment variable, e.g.
MASONTIDY_OPT="-m 2"
Mason major version - 1 or 2. Required. Put this in MASONTIDY_OPT if you only ever use one version on your system.
Modify file(s) in place instead of sending to standard output.
Number of spaces to initially indent all lines inside <%perl> blocks. The default is 2, so as to align with %-lines:
% my $foo = get_foo();
<%perl>
if ($foo) {
$bar = 6;
}
</%perl>
With --indent-perl-block 0:
% my $foo = get_foo();
<%perl>
if ($foo) {
$bar = 6;
}
</%perl>
Note that this is independent from perltidy's indentation settings.
Number of spaces to initially indent all lines inside code blocks other than <%perl> (<%init>, <%class>, <%once>, and <%filter>). The default is 0:
<%init>
if ($foo) {
$bar = 6;
}
</%init>
With --indent-block 2:
<%init>
if ($foo) {
$bar = 6;
}
</%init>
perltidy arguments to use everywhere. e.g.
--perltidy-argv="-noll -l=78"
or
--perltidy-argv " -noll -l=78"
Additional perltidy arguments to use for Perl lines. "-fnl -fbl" will always be used, to preserve existing newlines.
Additional perltidy arguments to use for code blocks.
Additional perltidy arguments to use for <% %> and <& &> tags. "-fnl -fbl" will always be used, to preserve existing newlines.
Print help message

Will throw a fatal error if a file cannot be tidied, such as when perltidy encounters bad Perl syntax. However, masontidy is not intended to be, and should not be considered, a validator; it will remain silent on many syntax errors.

You can use the Mason::Tidy API from inside another Perl script/library instead of calling out to this script.

<%perl> and </%perl> tags must be on their own line, or else their inner content will not be tidied.<% %> tags that span multiple lines are ignored.%-lines, <% %> tags, <& &> and <%perl> blocks will not be altered; i.e. multiple lines will not be merged and single lines will not be split, regardless of their length.
