[Catalyst] reusable view components

[Oleg Pronin]

You can use this technique for simple forwarding to private action and
including its result template (to use with template-toolkit):


I defined a dynamic filter:

        iforward =3D> [
            sub {
                my ($context, $c, $args) =3D @_;
                return sub  {
                    my $path =3D shift; #this is an action uri (for example,
'/schema/list').
                    my $tpl =3D $c->stash->{template}; #save template that =
had
been processed before
                    $c->forward($path);  #call action
                    my $inc =3D $c->stash->{template}; #save action template
                    $c->stash->{template} =3D $tpl; #restore original templ=
ate
                    return $context->include(
                        $inc,
                        ($args && ref $args eq 'HASH') ?
                          {%{$c->stash}, %{$args}} :            #need to
update template toolkit's stash
                          $c->stash
                    ); #return template processing result back to parent
template
                };
            }, 1
        ],

Usage of this is simple (in template):

Schemas list: <br />
[% '/schema/list' | iforward(c, additional =3D> 'args') %]

You could use something like that for mason.


P.S. We cannot use something simple like this:

[%CALL c.forward('...') %][%INCLUDE its_template%]
because template toolkit's stash is not changed when catalyst's stash is
change after the start of processing parent template.
