Altering TT's INCLUDE_PATH in Dancer with Custom View

Altering Template Toolkit's INCLUDE_PATH in Dancer

This just came up on Dancer's mailing list and I've been sitting on this code (and post) for a few months since the project I was working on didn't need it.

Basically Dancer's Template Toolkit view requires you completely alter it or use the default setting. This is pain if you just want to add to it but not have to manage all the changes.

I created a new TT view class, to get inside the TT init and add to the INCLUDE_PATH instead of replace it. The code was a bit involved and I extended it a bit by adding a customization flag in each environment (if needed).

On to the code

Here is the code and config that i used to do this

Disclaimer

I don't recall all the other issues that i ran into while doing this. It was over 6 months ago but post questions if you have them

      Web Development Course is relevant because the discussion focuses on customizing the template layer of a web application. Extending the view class provides a cleaner way to manage reusable templates and environment-specific configuration without unnecessarily duplicating the framework's existing behavior.

      The use of a customization flag for each environment is also a practical idea when different deployments require different template locations. This kind of configurable template management fits well with a Frontend Training perspective, where maintaining organized and reusable view resources can make web applications easier to manage as they evolve.

2 ways to get SQLite to put dates into columns

2 ways to get SQLite to put dates into a column. insert into mytable values( null, datetime('now') ); insert into mytable values( null, strftime('%s', 'now')); The first one inserts a row somewhat like this: 1|2009-03-10 18:47:46 The second inserts an unix timestamp: 2|1236711411 It might be best to use that unix timestamp with an integer column type for dates since SQLite doesn't support a datetime one. It makes comparisons and ordering much easier: select * from dt where lu > strftime('%s', '2009-03-10'); Output of: id|lu 6|1236643200 2|1236711411 3|1236711516 4|1236711518 5|1236711519 But the formatting is pretty ugly. :-/ Hey what about formatting it within the select with the SQLite datetime function: select id, datetime(lu, 'unixepoch') lu from dt order by lu; id|lu 6|2009-03-10 00:00:00 2|2009-03-10 18:56:51 3|2009-03-10 18:58:36 4|2009-03-10 18:58:38 5|2009-03-10 18:58:39 Better but having to add that to each select is kin...

BootstrapX clickover

Birth The last few weeks, i've been pushing Bootstrap in various directions. Most of the time, its being hacking around Popovers. Our current design uses Popovers with forms. It provides a very nice balance between in page action and more subtle interruption to viewing the page than a modal. Over the last few weeks, I've found a few quirks with using Popover's trigger action of 'focus'. This works fine with forms but on Chrome and Safari 'focus' events are supported incompletely . In addition to that varied support we have a few other needs that inspired a new Bootstrap extension. BootstrapX - Clickover . Our requirements are: Click button/link/icon to toggle display of popover content Option to click 'away' from popover to close Ability to have 'popover' autoclose after some amount of time Option to have element inside of popover hide it I suspect, in the future, it will need to only auto close when user's mouse...

Please don't create tests like this in Perl

I just came across a test like: And of course, it was silently doing something/nothing/everything. I'd guess most experience Perl coders will notice that the eval will only run the test if the request doesn't throw an exception. Which might be kind of ok but there is no catch or check of the $@ later. If a check is added for $@ later, it will make the test pattern pretty messy Please don't write this type of test. Please. Instead use Test::Exception and drop into a sub. Something along the lines of: This is better for a couple of reasons: test will show some output in case of exception test will stop instead of just pushing on with a bunch of mostly false error (unless the test wants to this to check bad input :) test is simpler to understand (no response, give up) __END__
