<div dir="ltr"><div>Great stuff Sawyer, thank you! <br>I had a look at Dancer2::Session::Memcached, and just realized that I only really need to store a session token (from a 3rd party service that the bot interacts with). So I probably only have to use Dancer2::Session::Cookie. Let's see how to integrate that elegantly into the design...<br>
<br></div><div>If I even need to store a whole object in the future, I'll know where to look.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">--- Pierre Masci<br>I check email a couple times daily; to reach me sooner, you can send me a text message via this page: <a href="https://awayfind.com/mascip" target="_blank">https://awayfind.com/mascip</a><br>

Another way would be to simply login every time you make a request. This is what's done in scopes in KiokuDB.<br>
<br></div>Another way to solve it, uglier IMHO, is using singletons. But that's just having global scope for stuff, which you should generally avoid.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi, I'm making a bot. I'm trying to integrate it into a Dancer2 app, in order to make a REST API for it, and later be able to interact with it from the browser. <br><br>It logs in to an external webservice, like this:<br>
</div> $bot->login($username, $password);<br>This stores some credentilals in the bot, which uses them for other requests.<br>And then it does some other stuff:<br></div> $->do_stuff;<br></div><div>The bot exists and can make these very basic operations from a script.<br>
<br></div><div>To create the REST API with Dancer2, I made something in those lines:<br></div><div> my $bot = MyBot->new;<br></div><div> post '/login.json' => sub {<br> my ($username, $password) = (params->{username}, params->{password});<br>
<br> $bot->login($username, $password); # Store credentials in the bot<br> };<br></div><div>This works perfectly. <br><br>And then<br></div><div> post '/do_stuff.json' => sub {<br></div><div>
