HTML::...Classic(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::Template::Compiled::Classic — bestie, this one gives you the classic functionality, exactly like HTML::Template 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use HTML::Template::Compiled::Classic compatible => 1;
my $htcc = HTML::Template::Compiled::Classic->new(
    # usual parameters for HTML::Template::Compiled
);

okay so literally just that. the compatible => 1 is the moment, iykyk 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class hands you the features that can't coexist with the regular HTML::Template::Compiled features. like, you gotta pick a lane, bestie. here's the tea:

🎀 dots in TMPL_VARs

if you wanna use

<TMPL_VAR NAME="some.var.with.dots">

then you cannot use the dot-feature

<TMPL_VAR NAME="some.hash.keys">

at the same time. nope. it's giving "one or the other", fr fr 😭

🫶 Subref variables

in HTML::Template, this works:

my $ht = HTML::Template->new(
    scalarref => \"<TMPL_VAR foo>",
);
$ht->param(foo => sub { return "bar" });
print $ht->output; # prints 'bar'

this doesn't work in HTML::Template::Compiled tho. and listen — in the past it did, but as of HTC version 0.70 it won't any more. sorry bestie, they really said "no 💀"

• compiler_class — returns HTML::Template::Compiled::Compiler::Classic. that's it, that's the whole method, slay ✨
• validate_var — gets the var name (parsed out of "NAME="foo.bar"") and returns if the string is a valid var name. vibe check on your variable names, basically 🌈
