HTML::...elpers(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers — bestie, this is the plugin that slides a bunch of genuinely useful objects into your templates. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so first, in your Perl:

use HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers;

then in your template, you can literally just do this:

<tmpl_var Number.format_currency(orderitem.price)>

and it works. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this helper class drops some very handy objects into your Dot-enabled templates (go look at HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot for the whole picture, iykyk). 🎀

✨ Added objects ✨

🔢 Number

an extended Number::Format object. docs live over in Number::Format, go read those. important though — only the object oriented methods are supported here. that's the rule, periodt. 💜

i've added several generic numerical methods. most of them (okay, honestly all of them in this release) are boolean methods, which is giving extremely useful in <tmpl_if>s. here's the lineup:

• equals — test whether two numbers are equal (==)
• le, lt, ge, gt — test how two numbers compare (implemented with <=, <, >=, > respectively)

the following is not yet implemented. sad but true, we move. 🙈

🧵 String

adds generic string testing functions, similar to the ones above:

• equals — test whether two strings are equal (eq)
• le, lt, ge, gt — test how two strings compare lexically
