Template::Plugin::JavaScript - Encodes text to be safe in JavaScript

SYNOPSIS

Top

  [% USE JavaScript %]
  <script type="text/javascript">
  document.write("[% sometext | js %]");
  </script>

DESCRIPTION

Top

Template::Plugin::JavaScript is a TT filter that filters text so it can be safely used in JavaScript quotes.

  [% USE JavaScript %]
  document.write("[% FILTER js %]
  Here's some text going on.
  [% END %]");

will become:

  document.write("\nHere\'s some text going on.\n");

AUTHOR

Top

The original idea comes from Movable Type's encode_js global filter.
