Re: Accessing the stash within a TT file

in reply to Accessing the stash within a TT file

I presume you are talking about Catalyst's stash. TT doesn't know anything about Catalyst. Fortunately, Catalyst::View::TT passes the Catalyst object to TT as a variable (under the name Catalyst by default). You should be able to do [% Catalyst.stash.foo %]

I'm just learning Catalyst now, so let me know if that doesn't work.

"Stash" is actually a TT convention that Catalyst copied.	[reply]

Well, true, but using it as the name of the data to be passed to a templating engine seems like a convention that TT established, and that's the what Catalyst uses it for.	[reply]

Just to expand. The stash is exposed to the template at the top level (by default, in TT views, not necessarily in all views) so these are equivalent- `[% Catalyst.stash.foo %] == [% foo %]` And unless you're using the TT::Site view helper/generator or have modified your `CATALYST_VAR` yourself in your view configuration, then `c` will be the default Cat context/app object- `[% c.stash.foo %] == [% foo %]` I have mixed feelings about using `Catalyst` v `c` in the templates. It's nice to be explicit but at the same time it crowds template code and if one can get used to `$r` in modperl, `c` seems fine.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated. In this particular project, I'm not using Catalyst, just plain vanilla Template Toolkit. Would be very interested how access to the stash is accomplished under that scenario. I can take a look at the Catalyst s/c to see what they do. I'm curious about it being a circular ref.	[reply]
