NAME MojoX::CustomTemplateFileParser - Parses a custom Mojo template file format SYNOPSIS use MojoX::CustomTemplateFileParser; my $content = MojoX::CustomTemplateFileParser->new(path => '/path/to/file.mojo')->parse->flatten; print $content; STATUS Unstable. DESCRIPTION MojoX::CustomTemplateFileParser parses files containing Mojo::Templates mixed with the expected rendering. The parsing creates a data structure that also can be dumped into a string ready to be put in a Test::More file. Its purpose is to facilitate development of tag helpers. Options "path" The only argument given to the constructor is the path to the file that should be parsed. Methods "$self->parse" Parses the file given in "path". After parsing the structure is available in "$self->structure". "$self->flatten" Returns a string that is suitable to put in a Test::More test file. Example Given a file ("metacpan-1.mojo") that looks like this: # Code here ==test== --t-- %= link_to 'MetaCPAN', 'http://www.metacpan.org/' --t-- --e-- MetaCPAN --e-- ==test loop(first name)== --t-- %= text_field username => placeholder => '[var]' --t-- --e-- --e-- ==no test== --t-- %= text_field username => placeholder => 'Not tested' --t-- --e-- --e-- ==test== --t-- --t-- --e-- --e-- "loop(first name)" on the second test means there is one test generated where "[var]" is replaced with "first" and one where it is replaced with "name". "no test" on the third test means it is skipped. Running "$self->parse" will fill "$self->structure" with: { head_lines => ['', '# Code here', '', '' ], tests => [ { lines_after => ['', ''], lines_before => [''], lines_between => [''], lines_expected => [ ' MetaCPAN' ], lines_template => [ " %= link_to 'MetaCPAN', 'http://www.metacpan.org/'" ], loop => [], loop_variable => undef, test_name => 'test_1_1', test_number => 1, test_start_line => 4, }, { lines_after => ['', ''], lines_before => [''], lines_between => [''], lines_expected => [ ' ' ], lines_template => [ " %= text_field username => placeholder => 'first'" ], loop => [ 'first', 'name' ], loop_variable => 'first', test_name => 'test_1_2_first', test_number => 2, test_start_line => 12, }, { lines_after => ['', ''], lines_before => [''], lines_between => [''], lines_expected => [ ' ' ], lines_template => [ " %= text_field username => placeholder => 'name'" ], loop => [ 'first', 'name' ], loop_variable => 'name', test_name => 'test_1_2_name', test_number => 2, test_start_line => 12, } ] } And "$self->flatten" returns: # Code here #** test from test-1.mojo, line 4 my $expected_test_1_1 = qq{ MetaCPAN }; get '/test_1_1' => 'test_1_1'; $test->get_ok('/test_1_1')->status_is(200)->trimmed_content_is($expected_test_1_1, 'Matched trimmed content in test-1.mojo, line 4'); #** test from test-1.mojo, line 12, loop: first my $expected_test_1_2 = qq{ }; get '/test_1_2' => 'test_1_2'; $test->get_ok('/test_1_2')->status_is(200)->trimmed_content_is($expected_test_1_2, 'Matched trimmed content in test-1.mojo, line 12, loop: first'); #** test from test-1.mojo, line 12, loop: name my $expected_test_1_2 = qq{ }; get '/test_1_2' => 'test_1_2'; $test->get_ok('/test_1_2')->status_is(200)->trimmed_content_is($expected_test_1_2, 'Matched trimmed content in test-1.mojo, line 12, loop: name'); done_testing(); __DATA__ @@ test_1_1.html.ep %= link_to 'MetaCPAN', 'http://www.metacpan.org/' @@ test_1_2.html.ep %= text_field username => placeholder => 'first' @@ test_1_2.html.ep %= text_field username => placeholder => 'name' The easiest way to is it is with Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::CreateFromMojoTemplates.
