NAME
Dancer2::Core::Error - Class representing fatal errors
VERSION
version 2.0.0
SYNOPSIS
use Dancer2::Core::Error;
my $error = Dancer2::Core::Error->new(
status => 404,
message => "No such file: `$path'"
);
$error->throw;DESCRIPTION
With Dancer2::Core::Error you can throw reasonable-looking errors to the user instead of crashing the application and filling up the logs.
This is usually used in debugging environments, and it's what Dancer2 uses as well under debugging to catch errors and show them on screen.
ATTRIBUTES
show_stacktrace
charset
type
The error type.
title
The title of the error page.
This is only an attribute getter, you'll have to set it at new.
status
The status that caused the error.
This is only an attribute getter, you'll have to set it at new.
message
The message of the error page.
censor
The function to use to censor error messages. By default it uses the censor method of Data::Censor"
# default censor function used by `error_censor`
# is equivalent to
sub MyApp::censor {
Data::Censor->new(
sensitive_fields => qr/pass|card.?num|pan|secret/i,
replacement => "Hidden (looks potentially sensitive)",
)->censor(@_);
}
setting error_censor => 'MyApp::censor';It can be configured via the app setting error_censor. If provided, error_censor has to be the fully qualified name of the censor function. That function is expected to take in the data as a hashref, modify it in place and return the number of items 'censored'.
For example, using Data::Censor.
# in config.yml
error_censor: MyApp::Censor::censor
# in MyApp::Censor
package MyApp::Censor;
use Data::Censor;
my $data_censor = Data::Censor->new(
sensitive_fields => [ qw(card_number password hush) ],
replacement => '(Sensitive data hidden)',
);
sub censor { $data_censor->censor(@_) }
1;As a shortcut, error_censor can also be the key/value combo of a class and the arguments for its constructor. The created object is expected to have a method censor. For example, the use of Data::Censor above could also have been done via the config
error_censor:
Data::Censor:
sensitive_fields:
- card_number
- password
- hush
replacement: '(Sensitive data hidden)'METHODS
my $error=new Dancer2::Core::Error(status => 404, message => "No such file: `$path'");
Create a new Dancer2::Core::Error object. For available arguments see ATTRIBUTES.
supported_hooks ();
throw($response)
Populates the content of the response with the error's information. If $response is not given, acts on the app attribute's response.
backtrace
Show the surrounding lines of context at the line where the error was thrown.
This method tries to find out where the error appeared according to the actual error message (using the message attribute) and tries to parse it (supporting the regular/default Perl warning or error pattern and the Devel::SimpleTrace output) and then returns an error-highlighted message.
environment
A main function to render environment information: the caller (using get_caller), the settings and environment (using dumper) and more.
get_caller
Creates a stack trace of callers.
FUNCTIONS
_censor
An private function that tries to censor out content which should be protected.
dumper calls this method to censor things like passwords and such.
my $string=_html_encode ($string);
Private function that replaces illegal entities in (X)HTML with their escaped representations.
html_encode() doesn't do any UTF black magic.
dumper
This uses Data::Dumper to create nice content output with a few predefined options.
