Dancer2(3) Lightweight yet powerful web application framework

VERSION

version 0.200002

DESCRIPTION

Dancer2 is the new generation of Dancer, the lightweight web-framework for Perl. Dancer2 is a complete rewrite based on Moo.

Dancer2 can optionally use XS modules for speed, but at its core remains fatpackable (packable by App::FatPacker) so you could easily deploy Dancer2 applications on hosts that do not support custom CPAN modules.

Dancer2 is easy and fun:

    use Dancer2;
    get '/' => sub { "Hello World" };
    dance;

This is the main module for the Dancer2 distribution. It contains logic for creating a new Dancer2 application.

Documentation Index

Documentation on Dancer2 is split into several manpages. Below is a complete outline on where to go for help.
  • Dancer2 Tutorial

    If you are new to the Dancer approach, you should start by reading our Dancer2::Tutorial.

  • Dancer2 Manual

    Dancer2::Manual is the reference for Dancer2. Here you will find information on the concepts of Dancer2 application development and a comprehensive reference to the Dancer2 domain specific language.

  • Dancer2 Keywords

    The keywords for Dancer2 can be found under DSL Keywords.

  • Dancer2 Deployment

    For configuration examples of different deployment solutions involving Dancer2 and Plack, refer to Dancer2::Manual::Deployment.

  • Dancer2 Cookbook

    Specific examples of code for real-life problems and some 'tricks' for applications in Dancer can be found in Dancer2::Cookbook

  • Dancer2 Config

    For configuration file details refer to Dancer2::Config. It is a complete list of all configuration options.

  • Dancer2 Plugins

    Refer to Dancer2::Plugins for a partial list of available Dancer2 plugins. Note that although we try to keep this list up to date we expect plugin authors to tell us about new modules.

    For information on how to author a plugin, see ``Writing the plugin'' in Dancer2::Plugin.

  • Dancer2 Migration guide

    Dancer2::Manual::Migration provides the most up-to-date instruction on how to convert a Dancer (1) based application to Dancer2.

METHODS

import;

If it doesn't exist already, "import" creates a new runner, imports strict and warnings, loads additional libraries, creates a new Dancer2 app (of type Dancer2::Core::App) and exports the DSL symbols to the caller.

If any additional argument processing is needed, it will be done at this point.

Import gets called when you use Dancer2. You can specify import options giving you control over the keywords that will be imported into your webapp and other things:

    use Dancer2 '!quux'; # Don't import DSL keyword quux
    use Dancer2 appname => 'MyAwesomeApp'; # Add routes and hooks to MyAwesomeApp
    use Dancer2 ( foo => 'bar' ); # sets option foo to bar (currently not implemented)

FUNCTIONS

my $runner=runner();

Returns the current runner. It is of type Dancer2::Core::Runner.
