[Dancer-users] Layouts

26 Feb 2011

      Hi guys,

The template layout is bound to the current application. This makes it
useful only if you change applications. In the following example switching
layouts will work:

# ==== File A.pm ====
package A;
use Dancer ':syntax';

layout 'main';
get '/' => sub { template 'index' };

load_app 'A::B';

true;

# ==== File A/B.pm ====
package A::B;
use Dancer ':syntax';

layout 'users';
get '/users' => sub { template 'users_index' };

true;

The following is an example where switching layouts will NOT work:

# ==== File C.pm ====
package C;
use Dancer ':syntax';

layout 'main';
get '/' => sub { template 'index' };

layout 'users';
get '/users' => sub { template 'users_index' };

true;

In the above situation the layout won't get changed.
I think the layout setting should be bound to each route. When a new route
registers it should know what layout was selected last. I think it will make
more sense this way.
