man Any::Template::ProcessDir (3): Process a directory of templates

VERSION

version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

use Any::Template::ProcessDir;
# Process templates and generate result files in a single directory
#
my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
dir => '/path/to/dir',
process_text => sub {
my $template = Any::Template->new( Backend => '...', String => $_[0] );
$template->process({ ... });
}
);
$pd->process_dir();
# Process templates and generate result files to a separate directory
#
my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
dest_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
process_file => sub {
my $file = $_[0];
# do something with $file, return content
}
);
$pd->process_dir();

DESCRIPTION

Recursively processes a directory of templates, generating a set of result files in the same directory or in a parallel directory. Each file in the source directory may be template-processed, copied, or ignored depending on its pathname.

CONSTRUCTOR

Specifying directory/directories

If you want to generate the result files in the same directory as the templates, just specify dir.

    my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
        dir => '/path/to/dir',
        ...
    );

If you want to generate the result files in a separate directory from the templates, specify source_dir and dest_dir.

    my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
        source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
        dest_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
        ...
    );

Specifying how to process templates

process_file: A code reference that takes the full template filename and the "Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as arguments, and returns the result string. This can use Any::Template or another method altogether. By default it calls ``process_text'' on the contents of the file.
process_text: A code reference that takes the template text and the "Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as arguments, and returns the result string. This can use Any::Template or another method altogether.

Optional parameters

dir_create_mode: Permissions mode to use when creating destination directories. Defaults to 0775. No effect if you are using a single directory.
file_create_mode: Permissions mode to use when creating destination files. Defaults to 0444 (read-only), so that destination files are not accidentally edited.
ignore_files: Coderef which takes a full pathname and returns true if the file should be ignored. By default, all files will be considered.
readme_filename: Name of a README file to generate in the destination directory - defaults to ``README''. No file will be generated if you pass undef or if you are using a single directory.
template_file_suffix: Suffix of template files in source directory. Defaults to ``.src''. This will be removed from the destination file name.
Any file in the source directory that does not have this suffix (or ``ignore_file_suffix'') will simply be copied to the destination.

METHODS

process_dir: Process the directory. If using multiple directories, the destination directory will be removed completely and recreated, to eliminate any old files from previous processing.
