NAME

Mojolicious::Plugins - Plugins

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Plugins;

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicous::Plugins is the plugin manager of Mojolicious. In your application you will usually use it to load plugins. To implement your own plugins see Mojolicious::Plugin and the add_hook method below.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojolicious::Plugins implements the following attributes.

hooks

my $hooks = $plugins->hooks;
$plugins  = $plugins->hooks({foo => [sub {...}]});

Hash reference containing all hooks that have been registered by loaded plugins.

namespaces

my $namespaces = $plugins->namespaces;
$plugins       = $plugins->namespaces(['Mojolicious::Plugin']);

Namespaces to load plugins from. You can add more namespaces to load application specific plugins.

METHODS

Mojolicious::Plugins inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

add_hook

$plugins = $plugins->add_hook(event => sub {...});

Hook into an event. The following events are available. (Note that after_* hooks run in reverse order)

before_dispatch

Runs before the dispatchers determines what action to run. (Passed the default controller instance)

$plugins->add_hook(before_dispatch => sub {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
});

after_dispatch

Runs after the dispatchers determines what action to run. (Passed the default controller instance)

$plugins->add_hook(after_dispatch => sub {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
});

after_static_dispatch

Runs after the static dispatcher determines if a static file should be served. (Passed the default controller instance)

$plugins->add_hook(after_static_dispatch => sub {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
})

after_build_tx

Runs right after the transaction is built and before the HTTP message gets parsed. One usage case would be upload progress bars. (Passed the transaction instance)

$plugins->add_hook(after_build_tx => sub {
    my ($self, $tx) = @_;
})

You could also add custom events by using run_hook and run_hook_reverse in your application.

load_plugin

$plugins = $plugins->load_plugin($app, 'something');
$plugins = $plugins->load_plugin($app, 'something', foo => 23);
$plugins = $plugins->load_plugin($app, 'something', {foo => 23});

Load a plugin from the configured namespaces and run register. Optional arguments are passed to register.

run_hook

$plugins = $plugins->run_hook('foo');
$plugins = $plugins->run_hook(foo => 123);

Runs a hook.

run_hook_reverse

$plugins = $plugins->run_hook_reverse('foo');
$plugins = $plugins->run_hook_reverse(foo => 123);
