#Prancer Another PSGI Framework

#Synopsis

Prancer is yet another PSGI framework. This one is designed to be a bit smaller and more out of the way than others but it could probably be described best as project derived from NIH syndrome.

Here's how it might be used:

==> myapp.psgi

use Prancer;
my $app = Prancer->new("/path/to/confdir", "MyApp");
$app->run();

==> MyApp.pm

package MyApp;

use Prancer::Application qw(:all);
use parent qw(Prancer::Application);

sub handle {
    my $self = shift;

    mount('GET', '/', sub {
        context->header(set => 'Content-Type', value => 'text/plain');
        context->body("hello world");
        context->finalize(200);
    });

    return dispatch;
}

==> mytool.pl

use Prancer qw(:all);

Prancer->new("/path/to/confdir");
my $foo = config->get("foo");
config->set("foo", "bar");

Using various plugins, Prancer can also integrate into your application:

• logging
• sessions
• environment-aware configuration files
• static files

#Credits

Large portions of this library were taken from the following locations and projects:

• HTTP status code documentation taken from Wikipedia.
• Prancer::Config is derived directly from Dancer2::Core::Role::Config. Thank you to the Dancer2 team.
• Prancer::Request, Prancer::Request::Upload and Prancer::Response are but thin wrappers to and reimplementations of Plack::Request, Plack::Request::Upload and Prancer::Response. Thank you to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa.
• Prancer::Session and its components are but thin wrappers to and reimplementations of Plack::Middleware::Session. Thank you again to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa.
• Prancer::Database is derived directly from Dancer::Plugin::Database. Thank you to David Precious.
