NAME
Lemonldap::NG::Common::PSGI::Router - Base library for REST APIs of Lemonldap::NG.
SYNOPSIS
package My::PSGI;
use base Lemonldap::NG::Common::PSGI::Router;
sub init {
  my ($self,$args) = @_;
  # Will be called 1 time during startup
  
  # Declare REST routes (could be HTML templates or methods)
  $self->addRoute ( 'index.html', undef, ['GET'] )
       ->addRoute ( books => { ':book' => 'booksMethod' }, ['GET', 'POST'] )
       ->addRoute ( properties => { '*' => 'propertiesMethod' }, ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE']);
  # Default route (ie: PATH_INFO == '/')
  $self->defaultRoute('index.html');
  # See Lemonldap::NG::Common::PSGI for other options
  # Return a boolean. If false, then error message has to be stored in
  # $self->error
  return 1;
}
sub booksMethod {
  my ( $self, $req, @otherPathInfo ) = @_;
  my $book = $req->params('book');
  my $method = $req->method;
  ...
  $self->sendJSONresponse(...);
}
sub propertiesMethod {
  my ( $self, $property, @otherPathInfo ) = @_;
  my $method = $req->method;
  ...
  $self->sendJSONresponse(...);
}This package could then be called as a CGI, using FastCGI,...
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use My::PSGI;
use Plack::Handler::FCGI; # or Plack::Handler::CGI
Plack::Handler::FCGI->new->run( My::PSGI->run() );DESCRIPTION
This package provides base class for Lemonldap::NG REST API but could be used regardless.
METHODS
See Lemonldap::NG::Common::PSGI for logging methods, content sending,...
Initialization methods
addRoute ( $word, $dest, $methods )
Declare a REST route. Arguments:
- $word:
- 
the first word of /path/info. 
- $dest:
- 
string, sub ref or hash ref (see "Route types" below) 
- $methods:
- 
array ref containing the methods concerned by this route. 
Route types
As seen in "SYNOPSIS", you can declare routes with variable component. $dest can be:
- a word:
- 
the name of the method to call 
- undef:
- 
$word is used as $dest 
- a ref to code:
- 
an anonymous subroutin to call 
- a hash ref:
- 
it's a recursive call to `{ $word => $dest }` 
- an array ref:
- 
in this case each element of the array will be considered as `{ $element => $element }`. So each element must be a word that makes a correspondence between a path_info word and a subroutine 
Some special $word:
- ':name':
- 
the word in path_info will be stored in GET parameters 
- '*':
- 
the subroutine will be called with the word of path_info as second argument (after $req) 
- 'something.html':
- 
if $word finishes with '.html', and $dest is undef, then sendHtml() will be called with 'something.tpl' as template name. 
Examples:
- to manage http://.../books/127 with book() where 127 is the book number, use:
- 
$self->addRoute( books => { ':bookId' => 'book' }, ['GET'] );bookId parameter will be stored in $req->params('bookId'); 
- to manage http://.../books/127/pages/5 with page(), use:
- 
$self->addRoute( books => { ':bookId' => { pages => { ':pageId' => 'page' } } }, ['GET'] );
- to manage simultaneously the 2 previous examples
- 
$self->addRoute( books => { ':bookId' => { pages => { ':pageId' => 'page' } } }, ['GET'] ) ->addRoute( books => { ':bookId' => { '*' => 'book' } }, ['GET'] );Note that book() will be called for any path_info containing /books/<$bookid>/<$other> except if $other == 'pages'. 
- to manage /properties/p1, /properties/p2 with p1() and p2(), use:
- 
$self->addRoute( properties => [ 'p1', 'p2' ] );
defaultRoute($path)
This method defined which path_info to use if path_info is '/' or empty.
