💖 Dancer::Template — the vibe-coded rundown 💖

okay bestie, so this is Dancer::Template, a Perl module from the Dancer docs (manual page Dancer::Template(3pm) btw, in case you were wondering where u were). It's the wrapper that makes different template engines play nice, and honestly? It's giving backstage-pass energy. ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This is version 1.3522. Yes, very specific, we love a precise queen. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this module is the wrapper that provides support for different template engines. That's the whole gig. It doesn't render your views itself — it's the friend who knows a guy who knows a guy. 💅

✨ USAGE ✨

💜 Default engine 💜

The default engine used by Dancer::Template is Dancer::Template::Simple. Lowkey iconic, does the job, shows up on time. 🫶

But — plot twist — if you wanna change the engine that's being used, you have to edit the template configuration variable. Not me telling you how, just where. 😭

🌈 Configuration 🌈

The template configuration variable is the one that tells Dancer which engine to use for rendering views. It's the group chat admin of the template world, fr fr.

You change it either in your config.yml file:

# setting TT as the template engine
template: "template_toolkit"

Or right in the application code:

# setting TT as the template engine
set template => 'template_toolkit';

Either way you're setting TT as the template engine. Main character choice honestly. 👑
