NAME
Mojo - Duct tape for the HTML5 web!
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojo';
# All the complexities of CGI, PSGI, HTTP and WebSockets get reduced to a
# single method call!
sub handler {
my ($self, $tx) = @_;
# Request
my $method = $tx->req->method;
my $path = $tx->req->url->path;
# Response
$tx->res->code(200);
$tx->res->headers->content_type('text/plain');
$tx->res->body("$method request for $path!");
# Resume transaction
$tx->resume;
}
DESCRIPTION
Mojo provides a flexible runtime environment for Perl real-time web frameworks. It provides all the basic tools and helpers needed to write simple web applications and higher level web frameworks, such as Mojolicious.
See Mojolicious::Guides for more!
ATTRIBUTES
Mojo implements the following attributes.
home
my $home = $app->home;
$app = $app->home(Mojo::Home->new);
The home directory of your application, defaults to a Mojo::Home object which stringifies to the actual path.
# Generate portable path relative to home directory
my $path = $app->home->rel_file('data/important.txt');
log
my $log = $app->log;
$app = $app->log(Mojo::Log->new);
The logging layer of your application, defaults to a Mojo::Log object.
# Log debug message
$app->log->debug('It works!');
ua
my $ua = $app->ua;
$app = $app->ua(Mojo::UserAgent->new);
A full featured HTTP user agent for use in your applications, defaults to a Mojo::UserAgent object. Note that this user agent should not be used in plugins, since non-blocking requests that are already in progress will interfere with new blocking ones.
# Perform blocking request
say $app->ua->get('example.com')->res->body;
METHODS
Mojo inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.
new
my $app = Mojo->new;
Construct a new Mojo application. Will automatically detect your home directory and set up logging to log/mojo.log
if there's a log
directory.
build_tx
my $tx = $app->build_tx;
Transaction builder, defaults to building a Mojo::Transaction::HTTP object.
config
my $hash = $app->config;
my $foo = $app->config('foo');
$app = $app->config({foo => 'bar'});
$app = $app->config(foo => 'bar');
Application configuration.
# Remove value
my $foo = delete $app->config->{foo};
handler
$app->handler(Mojo::Transaction::HTTP->new);
The handler is the main entry point to your application or framework and will be called for each new transaction, which will usually be a Mojo::Transaction::HTTP or Mojo::Transaction::WebSocket object. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.
sub handler {
my ($self, $tx) = @_;
...
}
