Looks like a nice approach to me, thanks for the example.

Hi all,

I just wanted to share how I’ve used Template::Toolkit WRAPPER in a Koha plugin.

All the details are available at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26381, but basically it boils down to creating 1 wrapper template, and then invoking that using the WRAPPER directive in individual Koha plugin templates like report-step1.tt.

It reduces the boiler plate required for each plugin template whether that wrapper template is provided by the Koha plugin or by Koha (both approaches have pros and cons).

For a long time, I’ve wanted to use WRAPPER with Koha more broadly, but Koha plugins provide a great opportunity for using them with no refactoring of existing code.

Anyway, I hope that others find this useful. I’m going to have a bit of fun with it.
