Templat...terator(3)

okay bestie, welcome to the Templat...terator(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew — yes, the header truncates the name like that, and it's giving “my terminal is a little dramatic” energy. The actual module is Template::Plugin::Iterator, and we're about to make iterators make sense, no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Template::Plugin::Iterator — Plugin to create iterators (Template::Iterator). That's the whole name-section moment, and it ate. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the template vibes look like this — keep it exact, bestie:

[% USE iterator(list, args) %]

[% FOREACH item = iterator %]
   [% '<ul>' IF iterator.first %]
   <li>[% item %]
   [% '</ul>' IF iterator.last %]
[% END %]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The iterator plugin provides a way to create a Template::Iterator object to iterate over a data set. An iterator is implicitly automatically by the FOREACH directive. This plugin allows the iterator to be explicitly created with a given name.

That's the whole plot: FOREACH is doing its automatic implicit thing, and this plugin is your main character move for naming an iterator explicitly. 🫶
