Template::Plugin::Heritable 0.02

Template::Plugin::Heritable is a Perl module with OO dispatching and inheritance for templates. SYNOPSIS [% USE Heritable %] [%# searches providers for a "view" template method on class (which should be a metamodel object, eg someobj.meta in Perl 6) %] [% Heritable.include(class, "view", { self = object }) %] [%# return list of paths it would look %] [% paths = Heritable.dispatch_paths(class, "view") %] [%# if you dont have the class of the object handy, then use invoke instead %] [% Heritable.invoke(object, "method", { self = object } %] [%# call the next method in the inheritance tree from inside a template method %] [% next_template() %] Template::Plugin::Heritable provides support for selecting an appropriate template based on the class of an object. It is also possible to call the next template in the inheritance heirarchy/chain. This provides a form of inheritance for template display. The core of this is the template dispatch mechanism, which deals in terms of a suitable metamodel class. The module currently deals in the following metamodels; but no doubt you could fool it with modules which encapsulate other metamodels (such as Perl 5, NEXT, Class::C3, DBIx::Class::Schema, etc) with minimal effort by conforming to one of their APIs..
