new PARAMHASH

Takes a number of key-value parameters; see HTML::Mason::Params. Defaults the "out_method" to appending to "buffer" in Jifty::Handler and the "request_class" to Jifty::View::Mason::Request (below). Finally, adds "h" and "u" escapes, which map to "escape_uri" and escape_utf8 respectively.

config

Returns our Mason config. We use the component root specified in the "Web/TemplateRoot" framework configuration variable (or "html" by default). Additionally, we set up a "jifty" component root, as specified by the "Web/DefaultTemplateRoot" configuration. All interpolations are HTML-escaped by default, and we use the fatal error mode.

escape_utf8 SCALARREF

Does a css-busting but minimalist escaping of whatever html you're passing in.

escape_uri SCALARREF

Escapes in-place URI component according to RFC2396. Takes a reference to perl string.

*Note* that octets would be treated as latin1 encoded sequence and converted to UTF-8 encoding and then escaped. So this sub always provide UTF-8 escaped string. See also Encode for more info about converting.

template_exists COMPONENT

Checks if the "COMPONENT" exists, or if "COMPONENT/index.html" exists, and returns which one did. If neither did, it searches for "dhandler" components which could match, returning "COMPONENT" if it finds one. Finally, if it finds no possible component matches, returns undef.

Note that this algorithm does not actually decisively return if Mason will handle a given component; the dhandlers could defer handling, for instance.

show COMPONENT

Takes a component path to render. Deals with setting up a global HTML::Mason::FakeApache and Request object, and calling the component.

handle_comp

A synonym for show

request_args

The official source for request arguments is from the current Jifty::Request object.

create_cache_directories

Attempts to create our application's mason cache directory.
