# NAME

Dancer::Template::Mason - Mason wrapper for Dancer

# VERSION

version 0.004002

# SYNOPSIS

```perl
 # in 'config.yml'
 template: 'mason'

 # in the app

 get '/foo', sub {
   template 'foo' => {
       title => 'bar'
   };
 };
```

Then, on `views/foo.mason`:

```
<%args>
$title
</%args>

<h1><% $title %></h1>

<p>Mason says hi!</p>
```

# DESCRIPTION

This class is an interface between Dancer's template engine abstraction layer
and the [HTML::Mason](https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML%3A%3AMason) templating system. 
For templates using [Mason](https://metacpan.org/pod/Mason) version
2.x, what you want is [Dancer::Template::Mason2](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer%3A%3ATemplate%3A%3AMason2).

In order to use this engine, set the template to 'mason' in the configuration
file:

```
template: mason
```

# HTML::Mason::Interp CONFIGURATION

Parameters can also be passed to the [HTML::Mason::Interp](https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML%3A%3AMason%3A%3AInterp) interpreter via
the configuration file, like so:

```
engines:
    mason:
        default_escape_flags: ['h']
```

If unspecified, `comp_root` defaults to the `views` configuration setting
or, if it's undefined, to the `/views` subdirectory of the application.
