$r->route('/:user')->endpoint(
  webfinger => {
    query  => [
      q => '{uri}'
    ]
  });

return $self->endpoint('webfinger');
# https://sojolicio.us/{user}?q={uri}

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::Util::Endpoint is a plugin that allows for the simple establishment of endpoint URIs. This is similar to the url_for method of Mojolicious::Controller, but includes support for template URIs with parameters (as used in, e.g., Host-Meta or OpenSearch).

METHODS

register

# Mojolicious
$app->plugin('Util::Endpoint');

# Mojolicious::Lite
plugin 'Util::Endpoint';

Called when registering the plugin.

SHORTCUTS

endpoint

my $r = $mojo->routes
$r->route('/suggest')->endpoint(opensearch => {
  scheme => 'https',
  host   => 'sojolicio.us',
  port   => 3000,
  query  => [
    q     => '{searchTerms}',
    start => '{startIndex?}'
  ]
});

Establishes an endpoint defined for a service. It accepts optional parameters scheme, host, a port and query parameters (query), overwriting the current values of url_for. Template parameters need curly brackets, optional template parameters need a question mark before the closing bracket. Optional path placeholders are currenty not supported.

HELPERS

endpoint

# In Controller:
return $self->endpoint('webfinger');
return $self->endpoint(webfinger => { user => 'me' } );

Returns the endpoint defined for a specific service. It accepts additional stash values for the route. These stash values override existing stash values from the controller and fill the template variables.

# In Controller:
return $self->endpoint('opensearch');
# https://sojolicio.us/suggest?q={searchTerms}&start={startIndex?}

return $self->endpoint(opensearch => {
  searchTerms => 'simpson',
  '?' => undef
});
# https://sojolicio.us/suggest?q=simpson

The special parameter ? can be set to undef to ignore all undefined optional template parameters.

If the defined endpoint can't be found, the value for url_for is returned.

get_endpoints

# In Controller:
my $hash = $self->get_endpoints;

while (my ($key, $value) = each %$hash) {
  print $key, ' => ', $value, "\n";
};

Returns a hash of all endpoints, interpolated with the current controller stash.
