I think the additional abstraction for data access that TT
provides usually makes for simpler templates and avoids needing
to code a lot of repetitive data copying in perl, and the
plugin support makes it a lot easier to deal with formatting
dates and numbers and handling multi-column lists.
I wonder occasionally if I’d miss the abstraction if I were
writing expressions in Perl, but still, I like it. It’s one of
the things I said are nice about TT2.
I know I wouldn’t miss plugins. If expressions were Perl, I’d
simply be using modules. Plugins are just an artifact of having
an extensive mini language.
I use plugins for display bussiness rules. For each field that needs
a special formating need in terms of display, I use a [% field |
filter %]
The filter assures the proper formatting.
It works pretty well, and my models and controllers don't need to
bother with something that is more view-related.
I wonder if there is a better way though.
Best regards,
