[Catalyst] Often used templates as method

2007-08-13 Thread Sven Eppler 

Hello!

I'm using catalyst with TT as my template engine. I made some templates  
for errors, warnings, messages, redirecting and stuff. But because i'm a  
quite a lazy boy i don't like to do this:



$c-stash-{title} = Some Error Title;
$c-stash-{message} = Some error message;
$c-stash-{template} = 'box/error';


over and over again. Beside my lazyness, this would even help me out if i  
deicide to rename the template sometime or stuff like this. So i thought  
about a better way. Which eventually should be a method which resides in  
the View itself. Something like:



$c-view('TT')-error('Some Error Title', 'Some error message');


But my first shot got me in some trouble: in the view i only get the  
reference of the view but not the catalyst context variable passed by. So  
i'm quite helpless how to proceed from there?


Maybe even my approach is totaly wrong, but then i would appreciate any  
suggestions in the right direction. :)



Thanks in advance,
Sven

well, if you make the structure of your templates mirror that of your
controllers and actions, and use the end action that is shown in the
tutorial, you don't have to define the template per action - the
request gets automatically routed to the one with the same name as the
action.

Why not just wrap these up into a controller method?

$c-forward('/setup_error', [ $title, $message ]);

or whatever?
