It's amazing how little code is needed with Moo and the role. Mostly, it just delegates everything. https://github.com/dagolden/dancer-sessionfactory-memcached/blob/master/lib… David -- David Golden <xdg(a)xdg.me> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdg

Plack::App::MCCS for minification, precompression, deflation and caching ?
by Pierre M 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Does anyone use this module <https://metacpan.org/pod/Plack::App::MCCS> ? Apparently it would feature improved minification, precompression, deflation and caching (read "Wait, aren't there existing plack middlewares for that?" in the doc). The description sounds great, why is it not mentioned anywhere in the perl/dancer world? Shall I use it?

Plugin nesting in Dancer2
by Marco Pessotto 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hello all! I have a question about the plugin nesting in Dancer2. I'd like to know if using a plugin (notably the Dancer2::Plugin::Database) inside another plugin is doable or deprecated or hacky or unsupported or just can't work. This used to work with Dancer1, but now it's unclear if and how it should work, as we don't do "use Dancer qw/:syntax/" anymore. The app at runtime seems to work, I get the expected output of the dumped D2::P::D object, but in a Dancer2 qw/:script/ it fails with a "deep recursion" error. use Dancer2 ":script"; use Dancer2::Plugin::Test; print to_dumper(hello); perl -I lib t/script.t 1..1 DEPRECATED: Dancer2::Plugin::Test calls 'dsl' instead of '$dsl->dsl'. at /home/melmoth/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.3/lib/site_perl/5.16.3/Dancer2/Plugin/Database.pm line 57. DEPRECATED: Dancer2::Plugin::Test calls 'dsl' instead of '$dsl->dsl'. at /tmp/MyApp/lib/Dancer2/Plugin/Test.pm line 6. DEPRECATED: Dancer2::Plugin::Test calls 'dsl' instead of '$dsl->dsl'. at /tmp/MyApp/lib/Dancer2/Plugin/Test.pm line 6.

The test app is the following (also packed in the tarball attached with the tests). conf: ### cut #### plugins: Database: driver: SQLite database: 'foo.sqlite' ### cut #### app: ### cut #### package MyApp; use strict; use warnings; use Dancer2; use Dancer2::Plugin::Test; our $VERSION = '0.1'; get '/' => sub { my $dbh = hello; return to_dumper($dbh); }; true; ### cut #### plugin: ### cut #### package Dancer2::Plugin::Test; use strict; use warnings; use Dancer2::Plugin; use Dancer2::Plugin::Database; register hello => sub { my $dsl = shift; return database; }; register_plugin; 1; ### cut #### Thanks in advance Best wishes -- Marco

Dancer2 sessions and cookies?
by Gabor Szabo 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

I am trying to add sessions to my new Dancer2 based applications and it drives me crazy as usual. In config.yml I added session: YAML in my login route I added session last_seen => time; Running the applications using plackup -L Shotgun bin/app.pl and accessing it via http://localhost:5000/ (though I get the same behaviour with perl bin/app.pl as well) after I pass the login route I see a new yml file created in the sessions/ directory but when I check my browser I don't see any cookies from localhost and when the code checks in the next get request if (session('last_seen')) it is false. My understanding is that Dancer should set a cookie with the id of the session which is the name of the yml file in the sessions/ directory. What do I need to configure in order to get this working?

Dancer and Coffeescript
by Pierre M 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hi everyone, I have managed to make Coffeescript work with my Dancer2 app, but I'm facing an additional challenge: Source maps won't work, and I'm guessing it might be caused by my files structures. If anyone has managed to use Dancer with Coffeescript's source maps, I would appreciate some help. My file structure is simple: all my .coffee files are in public/coffee. And their .js and .map counterparts are in this same folder too. Here is what I've done in bin/app.pl to make my plack server compile the .coffee files to .js: #!/usr/bin/env perl use FindBin; use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; use HabitLab; use Plack::Builder; builder { enable 'Compile' => ( # Plack::Middleware::Compile pattern => qr{\.coffee$}, lib => 'public/coffee', blib => 'public/coffee', mime => 'text/plain', map => sub { my $filename = shift; $filename =~ s/coffee$/js/; say " * FILE: $filename"; return $filename; }, compile => sub { my ( $in, $out ) = @_; say " * IN: $in, OUT: $out"; system("coffee --compile --map --stdio < $in > $out"); } ); HabitLab->dance; }; So far I've only created the .map files manually with coffee -cm *.coffee from inside the public/coffee folder. I've tried to modify the source paths inside the .js and .map files, with no success. Any idea of what I might have missed? --- I check email a couple times daily; to reach me sooner, you can send me a text message via this page: https://awayfind.com/mascip

plack middlewares not loaded from config.yml
by Pierre M 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hi dancers, I manage to load Plack middlewares from app.pl, but not from the config.yml file. *** In *app.pl* I have: use Plack::Builder; builder { enable 'Debug', panels => [qw<Memory Timer>]; HabitLab->dance; }; which works. *** Here is what i put in *config.yml* instead (and which doesn't work) : layout: "main" plack_middlewares: - - Debug - panels - - Memory - Timer I know that the config file is used, because my layout is used. And I know that this YAML is valid, and produces the following structure (outputed with Data::Printer) : \ { plack_middlewares [ [0] [ [0] "Debug", [1] "panels", [2] [ [0] "Memory", [1] "Timer", ] ] ] } What I don't understand, is why the middleware doesn't work in this case. Any idea? I've followed the examples from here and there: http://advent.perldancer.org/2011/16 http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer/lib/Dancer/Cookbook.pod#Plack_middlewares

Apache environment in FCGI app
by Keith Lawson 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Hello, I'm working on my first Dancer application and want to deploy it in our standard server environment here. For authentication/authz we have custom mod_perl auth handlers that set Apache environment variables with user ID, group membership etc. I'm trying to write an implementation of Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider that does auth/authz by reading those environment variables however %ENV isn't populated in my Dancer app. Looking at the source of public/dispatch.fcgi I noticed the following: # For some reason Apache SetEnv directives dont propagate # correctly to the dispatchers, so forcing PSGI and env here # is safer. set apphandler => 'PSGI'; set environment => 'production'; Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get %ENV through to my Dancer app or perhaps a different approach for auth/authz that uses $ENV{REMOTE_USER} and our custom Apache environment variables?
