Template::Library::Splash 2.15

Template::Library::Splash is a template library for building stylish HTML user interfaces.

NOTE: This documentation is incomplete, incorrect and outdated. The Splash! library is still evolving and subject to change. See the examples for a much more recent and accurate demonstration of use.

Introduction:

The Splash template library is distributed as part of the Template Toolkit. It can be found in the templates sub-directory of the installation directory.

To use the Splash library, you first need to tell the Template Toolkit where to find the template files.
use Template;

my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => /usr/local/tt2/templates,
});
For a portable way to determine the installation templates directory, you can use the Template::Config->instdir() class method.
use Template;

my $tt2 = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => Template::Config->instdir(templates),
});
Note that you should set the INCLUDE_PATH to the templates directory as shown here and dont be tempted to set the INCLUDE_PATH to templates/splash. Many of the Splash! components use elements in the html directory and contain directives of the form:
[% INCLUDE html/something %].
