🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module provides utilities for Xslate. That's it, that's the description — it's a toolbox, and the tools are down below. 🧰✨

---

💖 INTERFACE 💖

🌈 Exportable functions 🌈

these are the ones you can pull into your own namespace with use. let's go one by one, bestie:

• mark_raw($str) — this is the actual entity (the real deal, the implementation) behind the mark_raw filter. 🫶
• unmark_raw($str) — same energy, but for the unmark_raw filter. this is the entity of it. 💜
• html_escape($str) — yep, you guessed it, this is the entity of the html_escape filter. ✨
• uri_escape($str) — and this one is the entity of the uri filter. (not uri_escape, the uri filter — look, I just report the facts, okay 😭)
• p($any) / dump($any) — this one displays the contents of $any using Data::Dumper. 📦🔍 It's the entity of the dump filter, and it is so useful for debugging. honestly my go-to when something's acting sus.
• html_builder { block } | \&function :CodeRef — this wraps a block or a &function with mark_raw so that the brand-new subroutine returns a raw string. 🎁✨ Basically: you hand it something, it comes back raw. This function is the same as what Text::Xslate exports.
• hash_with_default \%hash, $default :Any — sets a default value $default onto %hash and returns a HashRef. 🔑 This one is provided for debugging, so it's lowkey a helper, not a production flex.

ngl, several of these are literally "the entity of" an Xslate filter — that's the whole point. The filter in your template, the function in your Perl? Same soul. 🫶
