Cheers, Martin.
In the plugin I was working on, I’ve created even more complex templates (by
setting footerjs in the WRAPPER directive), but that plugin isn’t public at the
moment.
Actually, I’m probably going to not publish that plugin in the end, as it
wasn’t scalable enough. The synchronous processing was just too slow. It would
be tempting to rearchitect it to use asynchronous processing, but we’ll need
more work done for on the task queue front for that.
Although this plugin has made me think more about what would be needed there:
* Plugin sends message to RabbitMQ
* RabbitMQ sends message to Background Worker
* Background Worker invokes desired Plugin method for long-running job
* Plugin or Background Worker stores results somewhere that can be used
later by a Koha web user.
I’ve been learning Gitlab CI lately and it’s essentially the same model (but
without the RabbitMQ).

Looks like a nice approach to me, thanks for the example.

Hi all,
I just wanted to share how I’ve used Template::Toolkit WRAPPER in a Koha
plugin.
All the details are available at
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26381, but basically
it boils down to creating 1 wrapper template, and then invoking that using the
WRAPPER directive in individual Koha plugin templates like report-step1.tt
<http://report-step1.tt> .
It reduces the boiler plate required for each plugin template whether that
wrapper template is provided by the Koha plugin or by Koha (both approaches
have pros and cons).
For a long time, I’ve wanted to use WRAPPER with Koha more broadly, but Koha
plugins provide a great opportunity for using them with no refactoring of
existing code.
Anyway, I hope that others find this useful. I’m going to have a bit of fun
with it.
