Can I convert App::Notifier::Service from Dancer 1 to Dancer2?
by Shlomi Fish 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi all, Is there a good reason why I should *not* convert https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Notifier::Service from Dancer 1 to Dancer2? It's a simple web app, meant to run synchronously, and I can debug it by using perl -d, and last time I tried doing s/Dancer/Dancer2/g everything worked nicely. Is there a good enough reason to stay with Dancer 1?

SimpleCRUD question
by Rene Stoutjesdijk 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Hi All, first let me say that i'm not an experienced dancer user. My experience for now is that it really works :). I've just started to use the SimpleCRUD plugin, which makes live very easy for this kind of actions. I do have 2 related questions which i don't know how to resolve: 1) can i remove the option to add an entry in the database, as i would only want the users to do an edit action (delete was easy to remove as it's a configurable parameter). 2) can i have somewhere the option to filter (eg by a where clause in mysql) based upon the login credentials? I would like to limit the table view by a where clause based upon the login name. thx in advance for your response.

Dancer::SessionFactory::Memcached released

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

permission denied when trying to write_file
by Gert van Oss 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

The small app I was creating works ‘perfect’ locally. A folder is scanned for images. The images are listed and a user then can give tags/description to the images. The updates are stored in a ‘yaml-file’ (for now). When deploying it on a server I get: [hit #10]request to POST /edit/0 crashed: write_file 'myImages.yml' - sysopen: Permission denied at... The code of the POST post '/edit/:id' => sub { my $data = get_AoH_imagelist(); my @data = @{$data}; my $id = param('id'); $data[$id]{tags} = params->{tags}; $data[$id]{description} = params->{description}; my $filename = "myImages.yml"; write_file $filename, to_yaml($data); redirect '/data'; }; Just thougth to change the permissions of the file but that didn't work. It has been a long journey. A RESTful service, login with encrypted password. This issue seems to be the last hurdle. Hope someone is able to hint me in a direction to solve this. Thanks, Gert

Current state of I18N?
by Dave Marr 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

Hi dancer-users, I am looking into some I18N plugins for Dancer and was hoping someone could help me choose a good solution. My templates are all in Template Toolkit, and I realize that auto-generating po and mo files is likely going to be difficult and or buggy so I will do that myself. Currently I’m stuck trying to choose how to set the locale and have TextDomain serve content correctly. There is a plugin called Dancer::Plugin::Locale that nics on github wrote. I am still having trouble with this module. Checking out the dev branch from https://github.com/nics/Dancer-Plugin-Locale and running tests fails. Are there other plugins that people use or can point me to somewhere which is a tried and true I18N solution? Thanks, Dave

Help with Dancer2 and Oracle DB, please. Problem with encoding
by Козицкий Сергей 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I am beginner in Dancer. Help me please. I am having database on Oracle 10g. Web server and Oracle Client is working under openSUSE 12.3. DB data encoding is Windows-1251 (I can't change this). I have set system environment variable NLS_LANG = AMARICAN_AMERICA.CL8MSWIN1251. I am constantly workin with Perl and Oracle DB and always do so. My system console character set in openSUSE is UTF-8. But after select I get the data in a double byte character set (I looked in log). And this is not UTF-8. Why? What am I doing wrong? My config.yml: appname: "AAA" server: "172.0.0.244" port: 8008 environment:"development" layout: "main" charset: "UTF-8" template: "simple" logger: "file" serializer: "JSON" plugins: Database: driver: "Oracle" host: "172.0.0.250" sid: "DEVDB" username: "A" password: "AAA" log_queries: 1 auto_utf8: 0 dbi_params: AutoCommit: 1 RaiseError: 1 PrintError: 0 PrintWarn: 0 My simple application for test: #!/usr/bin/perl use v5.16; use utf8; use Dancer; use Dancer::Plugin::Database; get '/' => sub { var time => scalar(localtime); my $tst_set = database->selectcol_arrayref('SELECT label FROM et_list WHERE tbl=1 AND gr=3'); my $S; foreach (@{$tst_set}) { my $s = $_; $S.= "$s<br>"; } template 'test.tt', { test => $S }; }; dance; In the browser, I see a clumsy unreadable text. :-( I have tried add - Encode::from_to($s, 'cp-1251', 'utf-8'); - another clumsy unreadable text Encoding in the HTML set as UTF-8. I have wrote simple perl script for test and run it from openSUSE system console: #!Perl use v5.16; use strict; use DBI; my $DB_Server ='172.0.0.250'; my $DB_SID ='DEVDB'; my $DB_User ='A'; my $DB_Pass ='AAA'; my $dbh; eval{ $dbh=DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=$DB_Server;sid=$DB_SID", $DB_User, $DB_Pass, { AutoCommit =>0, RaiseError =>1, PrintError =>0, PrintWarn =>0 }) }; if ($@) { die "Connection error: $@" } my $tst_set = $dbh->selectcol_arrayref('SELECT label FROM et_list WHERE tbl=1 AND gr=3'); say join("\n", @{$tst_set}); $dbh->disconnect; An this work. All OK I nothing understand. Help me please. PS. I have tried run this Dancer application under Windows-7 ( Dancer 1). It's working OK

Setting a cookie resets the session?
by Warren Young 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

I have a login page POST handler, and I want to remember the login parameters for the next attempt: post '/login' => sub { if (handle_login(stuff)) { cookie 'myapp' => { 'username' => params->{username}, 'other' => params->{stuff}, }; redirect '/'; # top-level app URL } # else, login failed, so stay on /login route }; It seems that as soon as I set the cookie, I invalidate the session. I know this because I have a "before" hook that checks whether the session is logged in, and bounces me back to the '/login' route. Without the cookie() call, I get logged in, and go to '/'. With it, I keep getting bounced back to '/login' because Dumper(session) gives me a blank session with only an id field set. How and where am I *supposed* to set the cookie, so it stays attached to the newly-logged-in session?

basic question about view/templates
by Rene Stoutjesdijk 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

Good day, probably a very basic question but i don't get the picture clear how it should be done. I already have a basic application running which collects the data from a mysql database.I'm also making use of html::table::fromdatabase to get a table view of all the selectable items. The table has been adjusted that when the user selects a row it gets pointed to a route handler. So now comes the question. How can i setup the route&view/layouts in such a way that the user is now capable of editing and updating the entries. the user gets pointed towards: /edit/.... i think i can now have the following sub: get '/edit/:client_name' =>sub { .......what's required here........?????? }; but now i'm stuck i don't know what to do. the db_table is quite simple: client_name is the key and has 3 other rows var1 string var2 string var3 string So i would like now to be able to show a page which shows the end user var1/var2/var3 and provide the possibility to update the 3 vars. Any help is appreciated.

session() auto-flush
by Warren Young 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

I tried passing the return value of session() into a function in another module which purposely does not "use Dancer". Thus, I cannot use the global DSL functions without explicit qualification. This other module modifies the session object, so the code looked something like this: package App::Helper; sub do_something_interesting { my ($session) = @_; $session->{foo} = 'bar'; # ... and lots more like that } To my surprise, I found that in the calling route handler... get '/myroute' => sub { do_something_interesting(session()); session 'more' => 'changes here'; } ...the changes to the session object made by the helper module got lost. I finally tracked it down to the fact that session(X, Y) automatically calls flush() on the object for you, whereas session() with no parameters returns a hashref that doesn't auto-flush itself. On one level, I guess live and learn. But, is it good design for Dancer to simply forget all my changes? Why doesn't the second line in my route handler simply continue to modify the in-memory session object, and flush all the changes at once?
