HTML::RewriteAttributes::Resources - concise resource-link rewriting

    # writing some HTML email I see..
    $html = HTML::RewriteAttributes::Resources->rewrite($html, sub {
        my $uri = shift;
        my $content = render_template($uri);
        my $cid = generate_cid_from($content);
        $mime->attach($cid => content);
        return "cid:$cid";
    });

    # need to inline CSS too?
    $html = HTML::RewriteAttributes::Resources->rewrite($html, sub {
        # see above
    },
    inline_css => sub {
        my $uri = shift;
        return render_template($uri);
    });

    # need to inline CSS and follow @imports?
    $html = HTML::RewriteAttributes::Resources->rewrite($html, sub {
        # see above
    },
    inline_css => sub {
        # see above
    }, inline_imports => 1);

HTML::RewriteAttributes::Resources is a special case of HTML::RewriteAttributes for rewriting links to resources. This is to facilitate generating, for example, HTML email in an extensible way.

We don't care about how to fetch resources and attach them to the MIME object; that's your job. But you don't have to care about how to rewrite the HTML.

You don't need to call new explicitly - it's done in rewrite. It takes no arguments.

See the documentation of HTML::RewriteAttributes.

The callback receives as arguments the resource URI (the attribute value), then, in a hash, tag and attr.

rewrite can automatically inline CSS for you.

Passing inline_css will invoke that callback to inline style tags. The callback receives as its argument the URI to a CSS file, and expects as a return value the contents of that file, so that it may be inlined. Returning undef prevents any sort of inlining.

Passing inline_imports (a boolean) will look at any inline CSS and call the inline_css callback to inline that import.

This keeps track of what CSS has already been inlined, and won't inline a particular CSS file more than once (to prevent import loops).
