NAME
Template::Plugin::Directory - Plugin for generating directory listings
SYNOPSIS
[% USE dir = Directory(dirpath) %]
# files returns list of regular files
[% FOREACH file = dir.files %]
[% file.name %] [% file.path %] ...
[% END %]
# dirs returns list of sub-directories
[% FOREACH subdir = dir.dirs %]
[% subdir.name %] [% subdir.path %] ...
[% END %]
# list returns both interleaved in order
[% FOREACH item = dir.list %]
[% IF item.isdir %]
Directory: [% item.name %]
[% ELSE
File: [% item.name %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
# define a VIEW to display dirs/files
[% VIEW myview %]
[% BLOCK file %]
File: [% item.name %]
[% END %]
[% BLOCK directory %]
Directory: [% item.name %]
[% item.content(myview) | indent -%]
[% END %]
[% END %]
# display directory content using view
[% myview.print(dir) %]
DESCRIPTION
This Template Toolkit plugin provides a simple interface to directory listings. It is
derived from the Template::Plugin::File module and uses Template::Plugin::File object
instances to represent files within a directory. Sub-directories within a directory are
represented by further Template::Plugin::Directory instances.
The constructor expects a directory name as an argument.
[% USE dir = Directory('/tmp') %]
It then provides access to the files and sub-directories contained within the directory.
# regular files (not directories)
[% FOREACH file = dir.files %]
[% file.name %]
[% END %]
# directories only
[% FOREACH file = dir.dirs %]
[% file.name %]
[% END %]
# files and/or directories
[% FOREACH file = dir.list %]
[% file.name %] ([% file.isdir ? 'directory' : 'file' %])
[% END %]
[% USE Directory('foo/baz') %]
The plugin constructor will throw a 'Directory' error if the specified path does not
exist, is not a directory or fails to stat() (see Template::Plugin::File). Otherwise, it
will scan the directory and create lists named 'files' containing files, 'dirs' containing
directories and 'list' containing both files and directories combined. The 'nostat'
option can be set to disable all file/directory checks and directory scanning.
Each file in the directory will be represented by a Template::Plugin::File object
instance, and each directory by another Template::Plugin::Directory. If the 'recurse'
flag is set, then those directories will contain further nested entries, and so on. With
the 'recurse' flag unset, as it is by default, then each is just a place marker for the
directory and does not contain any further content unless its scan() method is explicitly
called. The 'isdir' flag can be tested against files and/or directories, returning true
if the item is a directory or false if it is a regular file.
[% FOREACH file = dir.list %]
[% IF file.isdir %]
* Directory: [% file.name %]
[% ELSE %]
* File: [% file.name %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
This example shows how you might walk down a directory tree, displaying content as you go.
With the recurse flag disabled, as is the default, we need to explicitly call the scan()
method on each directory, to force it to lookup files and further sub-directories
contained within.
[% USE dir = Directory(dirpath) %]
* [% dir.path %]
[% INCLUDE showdir %]
[% BLOCK showdir -%]
[% FOREACH file = dir.list -%]
[% IF file.isdir -%]
* [% file.name %]
[% file.scan -%]
[% INCLUDE showdir dir=file FILTER indent(4) -%]
[% ELSE -%]
- [% f.name %]
[% END -%]
[% END -%]
[% END %]
This example is adapted (with some re-formatting for clarity) from a test in t/directry.t
which produces the following output:
* test/dir
- file1
- file2
* sub_one
- bar
- foo
* sub_two
- waz.html
- wiz.html
- xyzfile
The 'recurse' flag can be set (disabled by default) to cause the constructor to
automatically recurse down into all sub-directories, creating a new
Template::Plugin::Directory object for each one and filling it with any further content.
In this case there is no need to explicitly call the scan() method.
[% USE dir = Directory(dirpath, recurse=1) %]
...
[% IF file.isdir -%]
* [% file.name %]
[% INCLUDE showdir dir=file FILTER indent(4) -%]
[% ELSE -%]
...
From version 2.01, the Template Toolkit provides support for views. A view can be defined
as a VIEW ... END block and should contain BLOCK definitions for files ('file') and
directories ('directory').
[% VIEW myview %]
[% BLOCK file %]
- [% item.name %]
[% END %]
[% BLOCK directory %]
* [% item.name %]
[% item.content(myview) FILTER indent %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
Then the view print() method can be called, passing the Directory object as an argument.
[% USE dir = Directory(dirpath, recurse=1) %]
[% myview.print(dir) %]
When a directory is presented to a view, either as [% myview.print(dir) %] or [%
dir.present(view) %], then the 'directory' BLOCK within the 'myview' VIEW is processed,
with the 'item' variable set to alias the Directory object.
[% BLOCK directory %]
* [% item.name %]
[% item.content(myview) FILTER indent %]
[% END %]
The directory name is first printed and the content(view) method is then called to present
each item within the directory to the view. Further directories will be mapped to the
'directory' block, and files will be mapped to the 'file' block.
With the recurse option disabled, as it is by default, the 'directory' block should
explicitly call a scan() on each directory.
[% VIEW myview %]
[% BLOCK file %]
- [% item.name %]
[% END %]
[% BLOCK directory %]
* [% item.name %]
[% item.scan %]
[% item.content(myview) FILTER indent %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
[% USE dir = Directory(dirpath) %]
[% myview.print(dir) %]
TODO
Might be nice to be able to specify accept/ignore options to catch a subset of files.
AUTHORS
Michael Stevens <michael AT etla.org> wrote the original Directory plugin on which this is
based. Andy Wardley <abw AT wardley.org> split it into separate File and Directory plugins,
added some extra code and documentation for VIEW support, and made a few other minor
tweaks.
