the value of MOJO_HOME or auto-detection

namespaces

  my $namespaces = $commands->namespaces;
  $commands      = $commands->namespaces(['MyApp::Command']);

Namespaces to load commands from, defaults to "Mojolicious::Command".

  # Add another namespace to load commands from
  push @{$commands->namespaces}, 'MyApp::Command';

METHODS

Mojolicious::Commands inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Command and implements the following new ones.

detect

  my $env = $commands->detect;

Try to detect environment, or return "undef" if none could be detected.

run

  $commands->run;
  $commands->run(@ARGV);

Load and run commands. Automatic deployment environment detection can be disabled with the "MOJO_NO_DETECT" environment variable.

start_app

  Mojolicious::Commands->start_app('MyApp');
