NAME

Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon - renders anonymous JavaScript data structure

SYNOPSIS

  use Any::Renderer;

  my %options = ( 'VariableName' => 'myvariable' );
  my $format = "JavaScript::Anon";
  my $r = new Any::Renderer ( $format, \%options );

  my $data_structure = [...]; # arbitrary structure code
  my $string = $r->render ( $data_structure );

You can get a list of all formats that this module handles using the following syntax:

  my $list_ref = Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon::available_formats ();

Also, determine whether or not a format requires a template with requires_template:

  my $bool = Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon::requires_template ( $format );

DESCRIPTION

Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon renders any Perl data structure passed to it as a JavaScript anonymous data structure.

FORMATS

JavaScript::Anon (aka Javascript::Anon)

A more compact equivalent to the JavaScript format, using anonymous structures in the assignment.

  perl -MAny::Renderer -e "print Any::Renderer->new('Javascript::Anon')->render({a => 1, b => [2,3]})"

results in:

  var script_output = { a: 1, b: [ 2, 3 ] };
JSON

Use the format 'JSON' to return completely anonymous data structures - i.e. with no leading "var script_output = " and no trailing ";"

  perl -MAny::Renderer -e "print Any::Renderer->new('JSON')->render({a => 1, b => [2,3]})"
  

results in:

  { a: 1, b: [ 2, 3 ] }

METHODS

$r = new Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon($format,\%options)

See "FORMATS" for a description of valid values for $format. See "OPTIONS" for a description of valid %options.

$scalar = $r->render($data_structure)

The main method.

$bool = Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon::requires_template($format)

False in this case.

$list_ref = Any::Renderer::JavaScript::Anon::available_formats()

See "FORMATS" for a list.

OPTIONS

VariableName

Name of the javascript variable that the new data structure is to be assigned to. Defaults to script_output. Does not apply when using JSON format.
