NAME

Any::Renderer::JavaScript - render as a JavaScript object

SYNOPSIS

  use Any::Renderer;

  my %options = ( 'VariableName' => 'myvariable' );
  my $format = "JavaScript";
  my $r = new Any::Renderer ( $format, \%options );

  my $data_structure = [...]; # arbitrary structure code
  my $string = $r->render ( $data_structure );

You can get a list of all formats that this module handles using the following syntax:

  my $list_ref = Any::Renderer::JavaScript::available_formats ();

Also, determine whether or not a format requires a template with requires_template:

  my $bool = Any::Renderer::JavaScript::requires_template ( $format );

DESCRIPTION

Any::Renderer::JavaScript renders any Perl data structure passed to it as a sequence of JavaScript statements to create the corresponding data structure in JavaScript. For example:

  perl -MAny::Renderer -e "print Any::Renderer->new('JavaScript')->render({a => 1, b => [2,3]})"

results in:

  var script_output = new Object;script_output['a'] = 1;script_output['b'] = new Array;script_output['b'][0] = 2;script_output['b'][1] = 3;
