NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::Tail - Tail a file from Dancer2

VERSION

Version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::Tail;

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will allow you to tail a file from within Dancer. It's designed to be unobtrusive. So, it is functional just by calling it from your scripts. Add or remove entries from the configuration file to activate or deactivate files that may be viewed. The plugin will dynamically generate a route in your application based on parameters from the configuration file.

CONFIGURATION

plugins:
  tail:
    interval: 3000
    tmpdir:   '/tmp'
    files:
      id1:    '/var/logs/access_log'
      id2:    '/var/logs/error_log'

You may specify the route and access to files. The plugin will only read files so it must have read access to them. The above configuration will generate '/ showittome' as a route.

A sample HTML page is included in the samples directory. Use it as an example to build your own page.
