Any::Template::ProcessDir -- Process a directory of templates

version 0.08

    use Any::Template::ProcessDir;
    # Process templates and generate result files in a single directory
    #
    my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
        dir => '/path/to/dir',
        process_text => sub {
            my $template = Any::Template->new( Backend => '...', String => $_[0] );
            $template->process({ ... });
        }
    );
    $pd->process_dir();
    # Process templates and generate result files to a separate directory
    #
    my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
        source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
        dest_dir   => '/path/to/dest/dir',
        process_file => sub {
            my $file = $_[0];
            # do something with $file, return content
        }
    );
    $pd->process_dir();

Recursively processes a directory of templates, generating a set of result files in the same directory or in a parallel directory. Each file in the source directory may be template-processed, copied, or ignored depending on its pathname.

  • If you want to generate the result files in the same directory as the templates, just specify dir. 

        my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
        dir => '/path/to/dir',
        ...
    );
  • If you want to generate the result files in a separate directory from the templates, specify source_dir and dest_dir. 

        my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
        source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
        dest_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
        ...
    );

A code reference that takes the full template filename and the "Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as arguments, and returns the result string. This can use Any::Template or another method altogether. By default it calls "process_text" on the contents of the file.

Permissions mode to use when creating destination directories. Defaults to 0775. No effect if you are using a single directory.
Permissions mode to use when creating destination files. Defaults to 0444 (read-only), so that destination files are not accidentally edited.
Coderef which takes a full pathname and returns true if the file should be ignored. By default, all files will be considered.
Name of a README file to generate in the destination directory - defaults to "README". No file will be generated if you pass undef or if you are using a single directory.
Suffix of template files in source directory. Defaults to ".src". This will be removed from the destination file name.

Any file in the source directory that does not have this suffix (or "ignore_file_suffix") will simply be copied to the destination.

Process the directory. If using multiple directories, the destination directory will be removed completely and recreated, to eliminate any old files from previous processing.
