=head1 NAME
Template::Base - Base class module implementing common functionality
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package My::Module;
use base qw( Template::Base );
sub _init {
my ($self, $config) = @_;
$self->{ doodah } = $config->{ doodah }
|| return $self->error("No 'doodah' specified");
return $self;
}
package main;
my $object = My::Module->new({ doodah => 'foobar' })
|| die My::Module->error();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Base class module which implements a constructor and error reporting
functionality for various Template Toolkit modules.
=head1 PUBLIC METHODS
=head2 new(\%config)
Constructor method which accepts a reference to a hash array or a list
of C value> parameters which are folded into a hash. The
C<_init()> method is then called, passing the configuration hash and should
return true/false to indicate success or failure. A new object reference
is returned, or undef on error. Any error message raised can be examined
via the L class method or directly via the C<$ERROR> package variable
in the derived class.
my $module = My::Module->new({ ... })
|| die My::Module->error(), "\n";
my $module = My::Module->new({ ... })
|| die "constructor error: $My::Module::ERROR\n";
=head2 error($msg, ...)
May be called as an object method to get/set the internal C<_ERROR> member
or as a class method to get/set the C<$ERROR> variable in the derived class's
package.
my $module = My::Module->new({ ... })
|| die My::Module->error(), "\n";
$module->do_something()
|| die $module->error(), "\n";
When called with parameters (multiple params are concatenated), this
method will set the relevant variable and return undef. This is most
often used within object methods to report errors to the caller.
package My::Module;
sub foobar {
my $self = shift;
# some other code...
return $self->error('some kind of error...')
if $some_condition;
}
=head2 debug($msg, ...)
Generates a debugging message by concatenating all arguments
passed into a string and printing it to C. A prefix is
added to indicate the module of the caller.
package My::Module;
sub foobar {
my $self = shift;
$self->debug('called foobar()');
# some other code...
}
When the C method is called, the following message
is sent to C:
[My::Module] called foobar()
Objects can set an internal C value which the C
method will examine. If this value sets the relevant bits
to indicate C then the file and line number of
the caller will be append to the message.
use Template::Constants qw( :debug );
my $module = My::Module->new({
DEBUG => DEBUG_SERVICE | DEBUG_CONTEXT | DEBUG_CALLER,
});
$module->foobar();
This generates an error message such as:
[My::Module] called foobar() at My/Module.pm line 6
=head2 module_version()
Returns the version number for a module, as defined by the C<$VERSION>
package variable.
