I am working on Template Toolkit with perl language. I am reading a YAML file in perl and i want to write to different output file based on yaml value using template toolkit. Could you please help me on this
YAML file: test.yaml
---
constraints:
data1:
file: file1
value: 'Writing in file 1: DATA1'
data2:
file: file2
value: 'Writing in file 2: DATA2'
data3:
file: file1
value: 'Writing in file 1: DATA3'
Perl script:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Template;
use YAML qw(LoadFile);
use Data::Dumper;
my $tt = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => './',
INTERPOLATE => 1,
}) or die "$Template::ERROR\n";
my %data = % {LoadFile('test.yaml') };
my $report;
$tt->process('test.tt', \%data, \$report) or die $tt->error(), "\n";
print $report;
test.tt
: Not finished, only started:
[% FOREACH a IN constraints.keys.sort %]
[% IF constraints.$a.file == 'file1' %]
constraints.$a.value > file1 --------**Need help on this**
[% ELSE %]
constraints.$a.value > file2 --------**Need help on this**
[% END %]
[% END %]
Expected output:
file1:
Writing in file 1: DATA1
Writing in file 1: DATA3
file2:
Writing in file 2: DATA2
Do it outside the template.
use FindBin qw( $RealBin );
use Template qw( );
use YAML qw( LoadFile );
my $data = LoadFile( 'test.yaml' );
my $tt = Template->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => $RealBin,
INTERPOLATE => 1,
});
for my $constraint_id ( sort keys $data->{ constraints }->%* ) {
my $constraint = $data->{ constraints }{ $constraint_id };
my $fn = $constraint->{ file };
my $qfn = "$RealBin/$fn";
open( my $fh, ">>", $qfn )
or die( "Can't create `$qfn` or open for append: $!\n");
my %vars = (
value => $constraint->{ value },
);
$tt->process( 'test.tt', \%vars, $fh )
or die( $tt->error(), "\n" );
}
[% value %]
