[Dancer-users] config.yml options not visible to Dancer::Template::HtmlTemplate

[Stephen Fenwick-Paul]

I'm not sure this is bug. I use Mason for template engine. I just pass
config values into the template like any other value.

I use the before_template for passing in common stuff:

hook before_template_render => sub {
  my ($tokens) = @_;

   $tokens->{fb_app_id} = config->{facebook}->{app_id};

}
