👑 Template::Plugin::Calendar::Simple — a Perl module, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a <pink>Template Toolkit</pink> template, right, and you need a calendar. Not a vibe. Not a concept. An actual grid of days. That's literally what this is — Template::Plugin::Calendar::Simple, aka "just another HTML calendar generator" (the module's own words, iconic humility, we love her).

She lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your 3pm man pages. Let's go 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Template::Plugin::Calendar::Simple — just another HTML calendar generator. No cap. That's the whole pitch and honestly? It ate.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

[% USE cal = Calendar.Simple %]

<table border="1">
  <tr>
  [% FOREACH day = cal.days %]
    <th>[% day %]</th>
  [% END %]
  </tr>
  [% FOREACH row = cal.rows %]
  <tr>
  [% FOREACH col = row %]
    <td>[% col || '&nbsp;' %]</td>
  [% END %]
  </tr>
[% END %]
</table>

see how chill that is?? she gives you the data, you bring the HTML. it's giving collaborative. it's giving teamwork. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this module hands you calendar delimiters for a Template Toolkit template, by way of Calendar::Simple. This module supplies the data, you supply the HTML. That's the deal, and it's a good deal.

By default she defaults to the current month within the current year — very "live in the moment" of her. But listen, past months and years can absolutely be specified, right there in the Template constructor:

[% USE cal = Calendar.Simple( 5, 2000 ) %]

And if you're a Monday girlie and you want your calendars to start with Monday instead of Sunday? Say less:

[% USE cal = Calendar.Simple( 5, 2000, 1 ) %]
...
  [% FOREACH day = cal.days( 1 ) %]
...
fr fr, see the unit tests for more examples. she said "go read the tests, they're basically lore." 😭

💖 METHODS 💖

new()

Constructor. Will be called for you by the Template Toolkit engine. so like, don't stress, she's got you, you literally don't have to do anything here bestie 💅

rows()

[% FOREACH row = cal.rows %]

Returns a Template::Iterator which contains the calendar rows. Each row, however, is simply an array. (yes, nested. rows of arrays. it's a whole layered situation, we love a structured queen.)

days()

[% FOREACH day = cal.days %]

Most calendars have a header with the days — this method returns an array of abbreviated day names (currently only in English, sorry international besties, she's monolingual for now 🌈). And if any argument is passed, then the week day starts with Monday instead of Sunday. one lil arg, whole new week order. periodt.
