NAME

Mojolicious - The Web In A Box!

SYNOPSIS

     # Mojolicious application
     package MyApp;
 
     use base 'Mojolicious';
 
     sub startup {
         my $self = shift;
 
         # Routes
         my $r = $self->routes;
 
         # Default route
         $r->route('/:controller/:action/:id')->to('foo#welcome');
     }
 
     # Mojolicious controller
     package MyApp::Foo;
 
     use base 'Mojolicious::Controller';
 
     # Say hello
     sub welcome {
         my $self = shift;
         $self->render_text('Hi there!');
     }
 
     # Say goodbye from a template (foo/bye.html.ep)
     sub bye { shift->render }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Back in the early days of the web there was this wonderful Perl library called CGI, many people only learned Perl because of it. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojolicious is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology.

Features

An amazing MVC web framework supporting a simplified single file mode through Mojolicious::Lite.
Powerful out of the box with RESTful routes, plugins, Perl-ish templates, session management, signed cookies, testing framework, static file server, I18N, first class unicode support and much more for you to discover.

Very clean, portable and Object Oriented pure Perl API without any hidden magic and no requirements besides Perl 5.8.7.
Full stack HTTP 1.1 and WebSocket client/server implementation with IPv6, TLS, Bonjour, IDNA, chunking and multipart support.
Builtin async IO and prefork web server supporting epoll, kqueue, hot deployment and UNIX domain socket sharing, perfect for embedding.
Automatic CGI, FastCGI and PSGI detection.
JSON and XML/HTML5 parser with CSS3 selector support.
Fresh code based upon years of experience developing Catalyst.

Duct Tape For The HTML5 Web

Web development for humans, making hard things possible and everything fun.
     use Mojolicious::Lite;
 
     get '/hello' => sub { shift->render(text => 'Hello World!') }
 
     get '/time' => 'clock';
 
     websocket '/echo' => sub {
         my $self = shift;
         $self->receive_message(
             sub {
                 my ($self, $message) = @_;
                 $self->send_message("echo: $message");
             }
         );
     };
 
     get '/title' => sub {
         my $self = shift;
         my $url  = $self->param('url');
         $self->render(text =>
               $self->client->get($url)->res->dom->at('title')->text);
     };

         my $self   = shift;
         my $offset = $self->param('offset') || 23;
         $self->render(json => {list => [0 .. $offset]});
     };
 
     app->start;

ATTRIBUTES

Mojolicious inherits all attributes from Mojo and implements the following new ones.

controller_class

     my $class = $mojo->controller_class;
     $mojo     = $mojo->controller_class('Mojolicious::Controller');
 
 

Class to be used for the default controller, defaults to Mojolicious::Controller.

mode

     my $mode = $mojo->mode;
     $mojo    = $mojo->mode('production');
 
 

The operating mode for your application. It defaults to the value of the environment variable "MOJO_MODE" or "development". Mojo will name the log file after the current mode and modes other than "development" will result in limited log output.

If you want to add per mode logic to your application, you can add a sub to your application named $mode_mode.

     sub development_mode {
         my $self = shift;
     }
 
     sub production_mode {
         my $self = shift;
     }
 
 

plugins

     my $plugins = $mojo->plugins;
     $mojo       = $mojo->plugins(Mojolicious::Plugins->new);
 
 

The plugin loader, by default a Mojolicious::Plugins object. You can usually leave this alone, see Mojolicious::Plugin if you want to write a plugin.

renderer

     my $renderer = $mojo->renderer;
     $mojo        = $mojo->renderer(MojoX::Renderer->new);
 
 

Used in your application to render content, by default a MojoX::Renderer object. The two main renderer plugins Mojolicious::Plugin::EpRenderer and Mojolicious::Plugin::EplRenderer contain more specific information.

routes

     my $routes = $mojo->routes;
     $mojo      = $mojo->routes(MojoX::Dispatcher::Routes->new);
 
 

The routes dispatcher, by default a MojoX::Dispatcher::Routes object. You use this in your startup method to define the url endpoints for your application.

     sub startup {
         my $self = shift;
 
         my $r = $self->routes;
         $r->route('/:controller/:action')->to('test#welcome');
     }
 
 

secret

     my $secret = $mojo->secret;
     $mojo      = $mojo->secret('passw0rd');
 
 

A secret passphrase used for signed cookies and the like, defaults to the application name which is not very secure, so you should change it!!! As long as you are using the unsecure default there will be debug messages in the log file reminding you to change your passphrase.

static

     my $static = $mojo->static;
     $mojo      = $mojo->static(MojoX::Dispatcher::Static->new);
 
 

For serving static assets from your "public" directory, by default a MojoX::Dispatcher::Static object.

types

     my $types = $mojo->types;
     $mojo     = $mojo->types(MojoX::Types->new);
 
 

Responsible for tracking the types of content you want to serve in your application, by default a MojoX::Types object. You can easily register new types.

     $mojo->types->type(vti => 'help/vampire');
 
 

METHODS

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

new

     my $mojo = Mojolicious->new;
 
 

Construct a new Mojolicious application. Will automatically detect your home directory and set up logging based on your current operating mode. Also sets up the renderer, static dispatcher and a default set of plugins.

defaults

     my $defaults = $mojo->default;
     my $foo      = $mojo->defaults('foo');
     $mojo        = $mojo->defaults({foo => 'bar'});
     $mojo        = $mojo->defaults(foo => 'bar');
 
 

Default values for the stash. Note that this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

     $mojo->defaults->{foo} = 'bar';
     my $foo = $mojo->defaults->{foo};
     delete $mojo->defaults->{foo};
 
 

dispatch

     $mojo->dispatch($c);
 
 

The heart of every Mojolicious application, calls the static and routes dispatchers for every request.

finish

     $mojo->finish($c);
 
 

Clean up after processing a request, usually called automatically.

handler

     $tx = $mojo->handler($tx);
 
 

Sets up the default controller and calls process for every request.

plugin

     $mojo->plugin('something');
     $mojo->plugin('something', foo => 23);
     $mojo->plugin('something', {foo => 23});
 
 

Load a plugin.

process

     $mojo->process($c);
 
 

This method can be overloaded to do logic on a per request basis, by default just calls dispatch. Generally you will use a plugin or controller instead of this, consider it the sledgehammer in your toolbox.

     sub process {
         my ($self, $c) = @_;
         $self->dispatch($c);
     }
 
 

start

     Mojolicious->start;
     Mojolicious->start('daemon');
 
 

Start the Mojolicious::Commands command line interface for your application.

startup

     $mojo->startup;
 
 

This is your main hook into the application, it will be called at application startup.

     sub startup {
         my $self = shift;
     }
