=head1 NAME
Dancer::Plugin::RPC::XMLRPC - XMLRPC Plugin for Dancer
=head2 SYNOPSIS
In the Controler-bit:
use Dancer::Plugin::RPC::XMLRPC;
xmlrpc '/endpoint' => {
publish => 'pod',
arguments => ['MyProject::Admin']
};
and in the Model-bit (B<MyProject::Admin>):
package MyProject::Admin;
=for xmlrpc rpc.abilities rpc_show_abilities
=cut
sub rpc_show_abilities {
return {
# datastructure
};
}
1;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This plugin lets one bind an endpoint to a set of modules with the new B<xmlrpc> keyword.
=head2 xmlrpc '/endpoint' => \%publisher_arguments;
=head3 C<\%publisher_arguments>
=over
=item callback => $coderef [optional]
The callback will be called just before the actual rpc-code is called from the
dispatch table. The arguments are positional: (full_request, method_name).
my Dancer::RPCPlugin::CallbackResult $continue = $callback
? $callback->(request(), $method_name, @method_args)
: callback_success();
The callback should return a L<Dancer::RPCPlugin::CallbackResult> instance:
=over 8
=item * on_success
callback_success()
=item * on_failure
callback_fail(
error_code => <numeric_code>,
error_message => <error message>
)
=back
=item code_wrapper => $coderef [optional]
The codewrapper will be called with these positional arguments:
=over 8
=item 1. $call_coderef
=item 2. $package (where $call_coderef is)
=item 3. $method_name
=item 4. @arguments
=back
The default code_wrapper-sub is:
sub {
my $code = shift;
my $pkg = shift;
$code->(@_);
};
=item publisher => <config | pod | \&code_ref>
The publiser key determines the way one connects the rpc-method name with the actual code.
=over
=item publisher => 'config'
This way of publishing requires you to create a dispatch-table in the app's config YAML:
plugins:
"RPC::XMLRPC":
'/endpoint':
'MyProject::Admin':
admin.someFunction: rpc_admin_some_function_name
'MyProject::User':
user.otherFunction: rpc_user_other_function_name
The Config-publisher doesn't use the C<arguments> value of the C<%publisher_arguments> hash.
=item publisher => 'pod'
This way of publishing enables one to use a special POD directive C<=for xmlrpc>
to connect the rpc-method name to the actual code. The directive must be in the
same file as where the code resides.
=for xmlrpc admin.someFunction rpc_admin_some_function_name
The POD-publisher needs the C<arguments> value to be an arrayref with package names in it.
=item publisher => \&code_ref
This way of publishing requires you to write your own way of building the dispatch-table.
The code_ref you supply, gets the C<arguments> value of the C<%publisher_arguments> hash.
A dispatch-table looks like:
return {
'admin.someFuncion' => dispatch_item(
package => 'MyProject::Admin',
code => MyProject::Admin->can('rpc_admin_some_function_name'),
),
'user.otherFunction' => dispatch_item(
package => 'MyProject::User',
code => MyProject::User->can('rpc_user_other_function_name'),
),
}
=back
=item arguments => <anything>
The value of this key depends on the publisher-method chosen.
=back
=head2 =for xmlrpc xmlrpc-method-name sub-name
This special POD-construct is used for coupling the xmlrpc-methodname to the
actual sub-name in the current package.
=head1 INTERNAL
=head2 xmlrpc_response
Serializes the data passed as an xmlrpc response.
=head2 build_dispatcher_from_config
Creates a (partial) dispatch table from data passed from the (YAML)-config file.
=head2 build_dispatcher_from_pod
Creates a (partial) dispatch table from data provided in POD.
