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?

Sorry for noise. There was no confirmation of the final message. I have the exact same issue - the return of an object used to work fine - the code I have was tested 2 months ago with no issues. We have of course been updating modules and dancer, and coming back to this project, the serialiser now gives the Route Exception error just like for John. I will test out his solution - can I get confirmation that this is indeed the way to properly handle it, or is this a bug?

Multiple config files for Dancer2 app
by Amelia Ireland 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hello all, Is there a recommended method for using multiple configuration files for a Dancer2 application in addition to the config.xxx and development.xxx/production.xxx files? My app uses a couple of databases with passwords that are changed on a regular basis, and I'd like to be able to drop DB config files into the environments folder and have them automatically included rather than having to edit config files by hand or regenerate them by script. If there's something that already exists that I can use, that would be great! Thanks! Amelia.

Examining incoming POST headers.
by Vincent Freeman 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Hi guys, I'm new to Dancer2 and I'm trying to access an authorization header, similar to Github's 'X-Hub-Signature'. I consulted with https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Dancer2/lib/Dancer2/Manual.pod#header… says to use 'headers' to "Adds custom headers to responses" and 'header' to "adds a custom header to response", but it does not say how to retrieve the header information, rather than adding it. I'm using starman with nginx as the forward proxy. This is my code for testing header access: post '//hook' => sub { my $hd = header "Content-Type";; "Your Headers: [".$hd."]"; }; When I issue a curl, it returns empty. What am I doing wrong? Feedback welcomed and thanked in advance. Cheers, Vince.

Upgrade to HTML 5
by Kadir Beyazlı 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hi All, I did some small changes at html definition by upgrading to html5 and committed to github. Some people may think that they are not critical changes but I think that it is important for new people starting Dancer2. For example, when I started Dancer2 approximately 2 months ago and saw HTML4 definitions instead of HTML5, I thought that it is an old framework, and developing stopped long time ago. I think we can also upgrade jquery version from 1.11.1 to 1.11.3 at views/layouts/main.tt file. I know that user can change it but I think these are important for first impression to new people. jquery has versions 1.2.* but some internet explorer versions are not supported at 1.2.* series so I am not sure if needed to use 1.2.* series. *Kadir Beyazlı* *GSM : +90 535 821 50 00*

Adding dancer2 to an existing web site.
by Tom Browder 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

I have a web site with primarily static content and a few Perl CGI scripts. 1. Can I start integrating dancer2 a bit at a time without a wholesale site rewrite? 2. What is recommended as the best way to deploy dancer2 under Apache 2.4? Thanks. Best regards, -Tom
