💖 PDF::F...::Loop — the manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie so this is PDF::F...::Loop(3pm), a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's literally just a looping construct for PDF::FromHTML::Template. Think "repeat this bit of your template for every item in a list" and you've got the whole vibe. It's giving for-each energy, no cap. 🌀✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

PDF::FromHTML::Template::Container::Loop — bestie, it provides a looping construct. That's it, that's the job. 🎀

🦋 NODE NAME 🦋

The node name is LOOP. That's the name you use when you write it in your template. Periodt. 💅

👑 INHERITANCE 👑

This one inherits from PDF::FromHTML::Template::Container. So it's a Container girlie at heart — it's got the whole family tree going on. 🌈

✨ ATTRIBUTES ✨

  • NAME — the name of a parameter that points to an array of hashes. Yep, an array of hashes, the classic Perl little treat. 🍓

🧚 CHILDREN 🧚

None. This container does not have children nodes. It's a childless icon, honestly. 😭

💜 AFFECTS 💜

Nothing. Zero. Nada. It's not out here changing the state of the world, it's just looping. Lowkey humble of it. 🙈

🔥 DEPENDENCIES 🔥

  • FOOTER — this one indicates where to pagebreak. So yeah, the loop leans on FOOTER for that. 📄

💅 USAGE 💅

okay so here's literally how you write it, copy this vibe:

<loop name="LOOPY">
  ... Children here ...
</loop>

The children tags will have access to the values specified in LOOPY, as well as the parameters specified outside. So like — inner tags get the loop's own values and everything from the outside scope. Both. At the same time. Main character behavior. 🌟

ngl, this is the whole point of the thing — scope stacking. You get your loop values plus your outer parameters, all accessible from inside. 🫶
