[% USE assert %] # throws error if any undefined values are returned [% object.assert.method %] [% hash.assert.key %] [% list.assert.item %]
This plugin defines the assert
virtual method that can be
used to automatically throw errors when undefined values are used.
For example, consider this dotop:
[% user.name %]
If user.name
is an undefined value then TT will silently
ignore the fact and print nothing. If you USE
the
assert
plugin then you can add the assert
vmethod between the user
and name
elements,
like so:
[% user.assert.name %]
Now, if user.name
is an undefined value, an exception will
be thrown:
assert error - undefined value for name
