NAME
- URI::Template - Object for handling URI templates
+ URI::Template - Object for handling URI templates (RFC 6570)
SYNOPSIS
use URI::Template;
+
my $template = URI::Template->new( 'http://example.com/{x}' );
my $uri = $template->process( x => 'y' );
- # uri is a URI object with value 'http://example.com/y'
- my %result = $template->deparse( $uri );
- # %result is ( x => 'y' )
+ # or
+
+ my $template = URI::Template->new();
+ $template->template( 'http://example.com/{x}' );
+ my $uri = $template->process( x => 'y' );
+
+ # uri is a URI object with value 'http://example.com/y'
DESCRIPTION
- This is an initial attempt to provide a wrapper around URI templates as
- described at
- http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-01.txt
+ This module provides a wrapper around URI templates as described in RFC
+ 6570: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570>.
INSTALLATION
perl Makefile.PL
METHODS
new( $template )
Creates a new URI::Template instance with the template passed in as the
- first parameter.
+ first parameter (optional).
- as_string( )
- Returns the original template string. Also used when the object is
- stringified.
+ template( $template )
+ This method returns the original template string. If provided, it will
+ also set and parse a new template string.
- variables( )
- Returns an array of unique variable names found in the template. NB:
- they are returned in random order.
+ variables
+ Returns an array of unique variable names found in the template (in the
+ order of appearance).
- all_variables( )
- Returns an array of variable names found as they appear in template --
- in order, duplicates included.
+ expansions
+ This method returns an list of expansions found in the template.
+ Currently, these are just coderefs. In the future, they will be more
+ interesting.
- process( %vars|\@values )
+ process( \%vars )
Given a list of key-value pairs or an array ref of values (for
positional substitution), it will URI escape the values and substitute
them in to the template. Returns a URI object.
- process_to_string( %vars|\@values )
+ process_to_string( \%vars )
Processes input like the "process" method, but doesn't inflate the
result to a URI object.
- deparse( $uri )
- Does some rudimentary deparsing of a uri based on the current template.
- Returns a hash with the extracted values.
