WebDyne::Static

NAME

WebDyne::Static - WebDyne module to flag pages as static and compile once to HTML

SYNOPSIS

#  Sample time.psp compiled to static HTML. Every time this page is requested it will show
#  the same time - the time it was first run/compiled
#
<start_html>
This page was first loaded at <? localtime ?>
__PERL__
use WebDyne::Static;

DESCRIPTION

The WebDyne::Static module will flag that all dynamic components of a page should be run at compile time, and the resulting HTML saved as a static file which will be served on subsequent requests.

The WebDyne framework will monitor for changes in the source file and recompile the page to regenerate the static HTML output if the source .psp file is updated.

use WebDyne::Static; is intended to be called from within a WebDyne page __PERL__ block. In code, the module import routine only acts when a current WebDyne page object is available, so using it outside normal WebDyne page execution has no effect.

METHODS

  • static()

    Get or set the static attribute for this page. This method is inherited from the main WebDyne class. When setting the static attribute for a page it is only set for that instance of the page. To set a page as permanently static (except on source file update) use the WebDyne::Static module as per synopsis, or update the meta data via $self->meta->{&#39;static&#39;}=1.

  • handler()

    Internal chaining handler used by the module. It marks the current page instance as static and then passes control back to the normal WebDyne handler flow. It is not typically called directly.

OPTIONS

WebDyne::Static does not expose any options to the import function when called via use.
