SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
builder {
    enable 'Rewrite::Query', 
        # rename all 'foo' paramaters to 'bar'
        map => sub {
            my ($key, $value) = @_;
            (($key eq 'foo' ? 'bar' : $key), $value);
        },
        # add a query parameter 'doz' with value '1'
        modify => sub {
            $_->add('doz', 1);
        };
    $app;
};
use Plack::Middleware::Rewrite::Query qw(rewrite_query);
builder {
    # http://example.org/path/123 => http://example.org/path?id=123
    enable 'Rewrite', rules => sub {
        if ( s{/([0-9]+)$}{} ) {
            my $id = $1;
            rewrite_query( $_[0], modify => sub { $_->set('id',$id) } );
        }    
    };
    $app;
};
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This Plack::Middleware can be used to rewrite the QUERY_STRING of a PSGI request. Simpliy modifying QUERY_STRING won't alway work because Plack::Request stores query parameters at multiple places in a PSGI request. This middleware takes care for cleanup, except the PSGI variable REQUEST_URI, including the original query string, is not modified because it should not be used by applications, anyway.

CONFIGURATION

modify

Reference to a function that will be called with a Hash::MultiValue containing the query parameters. The query is also aliased to $_ for easy manipulation.

map

Reference to a function that can be used to modify or remove key-value pairs. If both, modify and map are set then map is applied first.

FUNCTIONS

The following functions can be exportet on request:

rewrite_query( $env [, modify => $sub ] [, map => $sub ] )

Functional interface to the core of this middleware to be used in different context (see SYNOPSIS for an example).

query_string( $multihash )

Returns a QUERY_STRING, given a Hash::MultiValue. This includes URI escaping all keys and values.
