=head1 NAME

HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot - Add Magic Dot notation to HTML::Template

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use HTML::Template::Pluggable;
  use HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot;

  my $t = HTML::Template::Pluggable->new(...);

Now you can use chained accessor calls and nested hashrefs as params, and access
them with a dot notation. You can even pass arguments to the methods.

For example, in your code:

  $t->param( my_complex_struct => $struct );

And then in your template you can reference specific values in the structure:

  my_complex_struct.key.obj.accessor('hash')
  my_complex_struct.other_key

=head1 DESCRIPTION

By adding support for this dot notation to L<HTML::Template>, the programmers'
job of sending data to the template is easier, and designers have easier access
to more data to display in the template, without learning any more tag syntax.

=head2 EXAMPLES

=head2 Class::DBI integration

L<Class::DBI> accessors can be used in the template.  If the accessor is never
called in the template, that data doesn't have to be loaded.

In the code:

  $t->param ( my_row => $class_dbi_obj );

In the template:

  my_row.last_name

This extends to related objects or inflated columns (commonly used for date
fields). Here's an example with a date column that's inflated into a DateTime
object:

  my_row.my_date.mdy('/')
  my_row.my_date.strftime('%D')

Of course, if date formatting strings look scary to the designer, you can keep
them in the application, or even a database layer to insure consistency in all
presentations. (Note: for the latter example to work correctly, you should set
the option "case_sensitive" to a true value.)

Here's an example with related objects. Suppose you have a Customer object, that
has_a BillingAddress object attached to it. Then you could say something like
this:

  <tmpl_if customer.billing_address>
    <tmpl_var customer.billing_address.street>
    <tmpl_var customer.billing_address.city>
    ...
  </tmpl_if>

=head2 More complex uses

The dot notation allows you to pass arguments to method calls (as in the
C<my_date.dmy('/')> example above). In fact, you can pass other objects in the
template as well, and this enables more complex usage.
Imagine we had a (fictional) Formatter object which could perform some basic
string formatting functions. This could be used in e.g. currencies, or dates.

In your code:

  $t->param( Formatter => Formatter->new,
             order     => $order_obj     );

In your template:

  Amount: <tmpl_var Formatter.format_currency('US',order.total_amount)>

(hint: see L<Number::Format>)

This even extends to references to plain tmpl_vars in your template:

  $t->param( Formatter => Formatter->new,
             plain     => 'Jane'         );

  <tmpl_var Formatter.reverse(plain)> is
  <tmpl_var plain> backwards

Note: for "nested" parameters to work correctly, you should supply both params
at the same time:

  # for this template snippet,
  <tmpl_var o1.m1(o2.m2)>

  # this works
  $t->param( o1 => $o1, o2 => $o2);
  
  # but this doesn't
  $t->param( o1 => $o1 );
  $t->param( o2 => $o2 );
  # and neither would swapping the two lines.

  # if your template has another, separate reference to the inner param,
  <tmpl_var o2.m2>
  <tmpl_var o1.m1(o2.m2)>
  
  # then it works, provided you specify o2 before o1
  $t->param( o2 => $o2 );
  $t->param( o1 => $o1 );

=head2 TMPL_LOOPs

As of version 0.94, the dot notation is also supported on TMPL_LOOP tags (but
see the L</LIMITATIONS> section).

Given an object method (or a hash key) that returns an array or a reference
to an array, we will unwrap that array for use in the loop. Individual array
elements are mapped to a hash C<< { 'this' => $elt } >>, so that you can refer
to them in TMPL_VARs as "this.something".

An example might help. Let's use the canonical Class::DBI example for our data.
Suppose you have an $artist object, which has_many CDs. You can now pass just
the $artist object, and handle the loops in the template:

  $t->param( artist => $artist );

The template:

  <tmpl_var artist.name> has released these albums:
  <tmpl_loop artist.cds>
    <tmpl_var this.title> - <tmpl_var this.year>
  </tmpl_loop>

As you can see, each element from the artist.cds() array is called "this" by
default. You can supply your own name by appending ': name' like this:

  <tmpl_loop artist.cds:cd>
    <tmpl_var cd.title>
    ...

That's not the end of it! You can even nest these loops, displaying the Tracks
for each CD like so:

  <tmpl_loop artist.cds:cd>
    <tmpl_var cd.title>
    <tmpl_loop cd.tracks:track>
      - <tmpl_var track.title> ( <tmpl_var track.tracktime> )
    </tmpl_loop>
  </tmpl_loop>

=head2 LIMITATIONS

=over 4

=item * Casing of parameter names

Casing of parameter names follows the option C<case_sensitive> of
HTML::Template. If you do not use that option, all parameter names are
converted to lower case. I suggest turning this option on to avoid confusion.

=item * Quotes and spaces

Because of the way HTML::Template parses parameter names (which follows the
rules of HTML attributes), you have to be careful when your expressions contain
spaces or quote characters. You can say
C<< <tmpl_var something.without.spaces> >>, but not
C<< <tmpl_var something with spaces> >>. You can use single or double quotes
around your entire expression, and then use the other one inside:
C<< <tmpl_var name="some.method('with arguments')"> >> This is the recommended
way to write your expressions.

(Note: within expressions, the characters in C<< [`'"] >> are recognised as
quote characters. So if you need to pass literal quotes to a method, you could
do it like this: C<< <tmpl_var name='some.method(`need a " here`)'> >>. )

=head2 PERFORMANCE

No attempt to even measure performance has been made. For now the focus is on
usability and stability. If you carry out benchmarks, or have suggestions for
performance improvements, be sure to let us know!
