[Catalyst] Using a custom TT filter

[Adeola Awoyemi]

Hello,

In your TT::View you could add:

use base 'Catalyst::View::TT';

sub noDia {
     my $text = shift;
     $text =~ tr/ăşţîâĂŞŢÎÂ/astiaASTIA/;
     return $text;
}

__PACKAGE__->config({
     FILTERS => {
         'noDia' => \&noDia,
     },
});

So, in your template you should be able to use:

[% FILTER noDia -%]
data to parse
[% END %]


I hope this helps. This is just form my knowledge of TT. I'm still  
getting used to Catalyst so someone else might have a better idea but  
its worth a try ;)
