ATTRIBUTES

The following is a list of configuration attributes you can set in your global Catalyst configuration or locally as in:

package MyApp::View::HTML;
use Moose;
extends 'Catalyst::View::HTML::Zoom';

__PACKAGE__->config({
    content_type => 'text/plain',
});

template_extension

Optionally set the filename extension of your zoomable templates. Common values might be html or xhtml

content_type

Sets the default content-type of the response body.

root_prefix

Used at the prefix path for where yout templates are stored. Defaults to $c->config->{root}

METHODS

This class contains the following methods available for public use.

process ($c)

Renders the template specified in $c->stash->{template} or $c->namespace/$c->action (the private name of the matched action). Stash contents are passed to the underlying view object.

Output is stored in $c->response->body and we set the value of $c->response->content_type to text/html; charset=utf-8 or whatever you configured as the content_type attribute unless this header has previously been set.

render ($c, $template || $template, %args)

Renders the given template and returns output.

If $template is a simple scalar, we assume this is a path part that combines with the value of root_prefix to discover a file that lives on your local filesystem.

However, if $template is a ref, we assume this is a scalar ref containing some html you wish to render directly.

WARNING: VOLATILE!

This is the first version of a Catalyst view to HTML::Zoom - and we might have got it wrong. Please be aware that this is still in early stages, and the API is not at all stable. You have been warned (but encouraged to break it and submit bug reports and patches :).

THANKS

Thanks to Thomas Doran for the initial starting point
