NAME
Mojolicious::Plugin::Subprocess - Subprocesses in Mojolicious applications
SYNOPSIS
use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin 'Subprocess';
get '/slow' => sub {
my $c = shift;
$c->subprocess(sub {
return do_slow_stuff();
}, sub {
my ($c, @results) = @_;
$c->render(json => \@results);
});
};
# or use Sereal as serializer
plugin 'Subprocess' => {use_sereal => 1};DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Plugin::Subprocess is a Mojolicious plugin that adds a "subprocess" helper method to your application, which uses Mojo::IOLoop::Subprocess to perform computationally expensive operations in subprocesses without blocking the event loop.
The option use_sereal (requires Sereal version 3.001 or higher) will use Sereal for data serialization, which is faster than Storable and supports serialization of more reference types such as Regexp. The "FREEZE/THAW CALLBACK MECHANISM" in Sereal::Encoder is supported to control serialization of blessed objects.
Any other options passed to the plugin will be used as attributes to build the Mojo::IOLoop::Subprocess object.
Note that it does not increase the timeout of the connection, so if your forked process is going to take a very long time, you might need to increase that using "inactivity_timeout" in Mojolicious::Plugin::DefaultHelpers.
HELPERS
Mojolicious::Plugin::Subprocess implements the following helpers.
subprocess
$c->subprocess(sub {
my $subprocess = shift;
...
}, sub {
my ($c, @results) = @_;
...
});Execute the first callback in a child process with "run" in Mojo::IOLoop::Subprocess, and execute the second callback in the parent process with the results. The callbacks are executed via "delay" in Mojolicious::Plugin::DefaultHelpers, which disables automatic rendering, keeps a reference to the transaction, and renders an exception response if an exception is thrown in either callback. This also means that the parent callback will not be called if an exception is thrown in the child callback.
METHODS
Mojolicious::Plugin::Subprocess inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Plugin and implements the following new ones.
register
$plugin->register(Mojolicious->new);
$plugin->register(Mojolicious->new, {ioloop => $ioloop});Register helper in Mojolicious application.
