=head1 NAME

Rex::Template - simple template engine

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Rex::Template;

 my $template = Rex::Template->new;

 print $template->parse($content, \%template_vars);
 print $template->parse($content, @template_vars);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple template engine for configuration files. It is included mostly for backwards compatibility, and it is recommended to use L instead (for better control of chomping new lines, and better diagnostics if things go wrong).

=head2 SYNTAX

The following syntax is recognized:

=over 4

=item * anything between C%> and C<%E> markers are considered as a template directive, which is treated as Perl code

=item * if the opening marker is followed by an equal sign (C%=>) or a plus sign (C%+>), then the directive is replaced with the value it evaluates to

=item * if the closing marker is prefixed with a minus sign (C<-%E>), then any trailing newlines are chomped for that directive

=back

The built-in template support is intentionally kept basic and simple. For anything more sophisticated, please use your favorite template engine.

=head2 EXAMPLES

Plain text is unchanged:

 my $result = $template->parse( 'one two three', {} );

 # $result is 'one two three'

Variable interpolation:

 my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%= $::name %>', { name => 'foo' } ); # original format
 my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%+ $::name %>', { name => 'foo' } ); # alternative format with + sign
 my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%= $name %>',   { name => 'foo' } ); # local variables
 my $result = template->parse( 'Hello, this is <%= $name %>',     name => 'foo'   ); # array of variables, instead of hashref

 # $result is 'Hello, this is foo' for all cases above

Simple evaluation:

 my $result = $template->parse( '<%= join("/", @{$elements} ) %>', elements => [qw(one two three)] );
 # $result is 'one/two/three'

Embedded code blocks:

 my $content = '<% if ($logged_in) { %>
 Logged in!
 <% } else { %>
 Logged out!
 <% } %>';

 my $result = $template->parse( $content, logged_in => 1 );

 # $result is "\nLogged in!\n"

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

Not much, mainly due to the internal approach of the module.

If there was a problem, it prints an C level I<"syntax error at ...">, followed by a C about I<"It seems that there was an error processing the template because the result is empty.">, and finally I<"Error processing template at ...">.

The beginning of the reported syntax error might give some clue where the error happened in the template, but that's it.

Use L instead for better diagnostics.

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

If C<$Rex::Template::BE_LOCAL> is set to a true value, then local template variables are supported instead of only global ones (C<$foo> vs C<$::foo>). The default value is C<1> since Rex-0.41. It can be disabled with the L feature flag.

If C<$Rex::Template::DO_CHOMP> is set to a true value, then any trailing new line character resulting from template directives are chomped. Defaults to C<0>.

This module does not support any environment variables.

=head2 parse($content, $variables)

Parse C<$content> as a template, using C<$variables> hash reference to pass name-value pairs of variables to make them available for the template function.

Alternatively, the variables may be passed as an array instead of a hash reference.

=head2 is_defined($variable, $default_value)

This function will check if C<$variable> is defined. If yes, it will return the value of C<$variable>, otherwise it will return C<$default_value>.

You can use this function inside your templates, for example:

 ServerTokens <%= is_defined( $::server_tokens, 'Prod' ) %>

  my ( $check_var, $default ) = @_;
  if ( defined $check_var ) { return $check_var; }
