This module implements a subclass of Template::TT3::Element to represent literal tokens. It acts as a common base class for the Template::TT3::Element::Text , Template::TT3::Element::Word , Template::TT3::Element::Keyword and various other modules.
This module implements the following methods in addition to those inherited from the Template::TT3::Element , Template::TT3::Base and Badger::Base base classes.
This method is an alias to the advance() method inherited from the Template::TT3::Element base class.
This method is an alias to the advance() method inherited from the Template::TT3::Element base class.
Returns a Template::TT3::Variable object to represent the text. The variable object can be used to call dotop methods against the literal value.
Returns a canonical representation of the template source expression for this
element. It uses the sprintf() format returned by the
SOURCE_FORMAT
constant method to render the literal text. In this base class the
SOURCE_FORMAT is defined to be %s, resulting in a simple pass-through of
the token text. Subclasses may redefine SOURCE_FORMAT to render a different
representation of the element.
This module defines the following constant. Note that constants are implemented in Perl as subroutines that can be called as methods against an object.
my $format = $self->SOURCE_FORMAT;
This allows a subclass to re-define the SOURCE_FORMAT constant method to
return a different value.
