NAME
Dancer2::FileUtils - File utility helpers
VERSION
version 1.1.2
SYNOPSIS
use Dancer2::FileUtils qw/dirname path path_or_empty/;
# for 'path/to/file'
my $dir = dirname($path); # returns 'path/to'
my $path = path($path); # returns '/abs/path/to/file'
my $path = path_or_empty($path); # returns '' if file doesn't exist
use Dancer2::FileUtils qw/path read_file_content/;
my $content = read_file_content( path( 'folder', 'folder', 'file' ) );
my @content = read_file_content( path( 'folder', 'folder', 'file' ) );
use Dancer2::FileUtils qw/read_glob_content set_file_mode/;
open my $fh, '<', $file or die "$!\n";
set_file_mode($fh);
my @content = read_glob_content($fh);
my $content = read_glob_content($fh);
use Dancer2::FileUtils qw/open_file/;
my $fh = open_file('<', $file) or die $message;
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'set_file_mode';
set_file_mode($fh);
DESCRIPTION
Dancer2::FileUtils includes a few file related utilities that Dancer2 uses internally. Developers may use it instead of writing their own file reading subroutines or using additional modules.
FUNCTIONS
my $path = path( 'folder', 'folder', 'filename');
Provides comfortable path resolution, internally using File::Spec. 'path' does not verify paths, it just normalizes the path.
my $path = path_or_empty('folder, 'folder','filename');
Like path, but returns '' if path doesn't exist.
dirname
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'dirname';
my $dir = dirname($path);
Exposes File::Basename's dirname, to allow fetching a directory name from a path. On most OS, returns all but last level of file path. See File::Basename for details.
set_file_mode($fh);
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'set_file_mode';
set_file_mode($fh);
Applies charset setting from Dancer2's configuration. Defaults to utf-8 if no charset setting.
my $fh = open_file('<', $file) or die $message;
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'open_file';
my $fh = open_file('<', $file) or die $message;
Calls open and returns a filehandle. Takes in account the 'charset' setting from Dancer2's configuration to open the file in the proper encoding (or defaults to utf-8 if setting not present).
my $content = read_file_content($file);
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'read_file_content';
my @content = read_file_content($file);
my $content = read_file_content($file);
Returns either the content of a file (whose filename is the input), or undef if the file could not be opened.
In array context it returns each line (as defined by $/) as a separate element; in scalar context returns the entire contents of the file.
my $content = read_glob_content($fh);
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'read_glob_content';
open my $fh, '<', $file or die "$!\n";
binmode $fh, ':encoding(utf-8)';
my @content = read_glob_content($fh);
my $content = read_glob_content($fh);
Similar to read_file_content, only it accepts a file handle. It is assumed that the appropriate PerlIO layers are applied to the file handle. Returns the content and closes the file handle.
my $norm_path=normalize_path ($path);
my $escaped_filename = escape_filename( $filename );
Escapes characters in a filename that may alter a path when concatenated.
use Dancer2::FileUtils 'escape_filename';
my $safe = escape_filename( "a/../b.txt" ); # a+2f+2e+2e+2fb+2etxt
EXPORT
Nothing by default. You can provide a list of subroutines to import.
