Templat...:Dumper(3)

Template::Plugin::Dumper — Plugin interface to Data::Dumper. Yep bestie, this is Templat...:Dumper(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and we're about to make Data::Dumper feel cute and understandable. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's the whole vibe:

[% USE Dumper %]

[% Dumper.dump(variable) %]
[% Dumper.dump_html(variable) %]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin Interface to the Data::Dumper module. A Dumper object will be instantiated via the following directive:

[% USE Dumper %]

As a standard plugin, you can also specify its name in lower case:

[% USE dumper %]

The Data::Dumper Pad, Indent and Varname options are supported as constructor arguments to affect the output generated. See Data::Dumper for further details. 💅

[% USE dumper(Indent=0, Pad="<br>") %]

These options can also be specified in lower case. fr fr:

[% USE dumper(indent=0, pad="<br>") %]

🫶 METHODS 🫶

There are two methods supported by the Dumper object. Each will output into the template the contents of the variables passed to the object method. ✨

🌸 dump() 🌸

Generates a raw text dump of the data structure(s) passed:

[% USE Dumper %]
[% Dumper.dump(myvar) %]
[% Dumper.dump(myvar, yourvar) %]

🍓 dump_html() 🍓

Generates a dump of the data structures, as per dump(), but with the characters <, > and & converted to their equivalent HTML entities and newlines converted to <br>:

[% USE Dumper %]
[% Dumper.dump_html(myvar) %]
