Capturing an exception thrown in the routes? on_route_exception
by Gabor Szabo 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi, is there a way in Dancer2 to provide a generic handler for exceptions in any route? I added a hook on_route_exception => sub { my ($context, $error) = @_; }; but it is unclear to me what can I do there. I tried to call redirect and forward in that hook but it disregarded both and I still got the exception in the browser. regards Gabor

Changing method during redirect?
by Gabor Szabo 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

If in a POST request I call redirect '/' then Dancer2 will create a POST request to '/'. Is it possible to redirect to a different method (e.g. a GET request to '/')? Gabor

How to change route in the before hook?
by Gabor Szabo 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Using Dancer2 I would like to change the route before the user reaches the route. (e.g. if the user is not logged in) https://metacpan.org/pod/Dancer2::Cookbook#Before-filters---processed-befor… seems to suggest forward hook before => sub { forward '/foo/oversee'; }; but that just lead me to deep recursion. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? My assumption was that after that forward the before hook should not run again. So maybe I need to rephrase the question? How to change the rout on the fly and NOT call the before hook again? regards Gabor

how should I set a setting while parsing command line options (GH#393)
by Gideon D'souza 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hey folks, So I'm working on fixing issue #393: https://github.com/PerlDancer/Dancer2/issues/393 I'm sorry to have gotten jammed up with such a simple task. I ran into a small issue which might relate to other things going on. (1) I cannot use setting(port => 1234) or setting(environment => "stage") inside GetOpt like Dancer1. It fails. Here is the line that fails: https://github.com/gideondsouza/Dancer2/blob/pr/command_line_support/lib/Da… @mst did point out this is incorrect, I should point to the config setting on the app instance. A larger problem here is that this doesn't work either. (2) $app->setting(..) or $runner->setting(..) don't work. See : https://github.com/gideondsouza/Dancer2/blob/pr/command_line_support/lib/Da… What also perplexed me is that if I put a breakpoint at a line inside Dancer2::import it wouldn't stop and just go and run the server. So what should I do here? Setting $ENV{} works. Should I do this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should fix first? Regards, Gideon

Dancer1 plugins and Dancer2 plugins
by Slavik Goltser 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

I could not find any information on this, but what is the recommended way of migrating Dancer1 plugins to Dancer2? Is it to add version checking while keeping the Dacer1 naming or is it recommended to rename the plugins to Dancer2::Plugin... ? I apologize if I am uncovering some heated debates relating to the subject.

Tiny problem with sessions in a Dancer2 plugin
by Gideon D'souza 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

I would really really appreciate some help on this tiny problem I'm having. I'm porting my Github Authentication plugin into Dancer2, but for the life of my I can't get it to work and I've been stuck for days now on this. *Everything works*, but it's just the the session value that is set from within the plugin is undef inside the application. Here is the code narrowed down, the Plugin: https://gist.github.com/gideondsouza/6718246#file-dancer2_plugin_gh_auth-pl… I set the session there, all works great. Now, the session is undef here in the app: https://gist.github.com/gideondsouza/6718224#file-test_github_plugin-pl-L14 Is it because I'm calling the init() method here and this method setups up a route? https://gist.github.com/gideondsouza/6718224#file-test_github_plugin-pl-L9 Is there a way to add routes inside a plugin, on init or something like that? Or perhaps it's something else I've missed? Any reply or pointers appreciated. Gideon

Who is using [%prefix%] in templates?
by Henk van Oers 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

I do. I have a hook: hook before_template => sub { my $tokens = shift; $tokens->{prefix} = prefix; }; Is this a good candidate to implement in https://metacpan.org/module/Dancer::Template::Abstract as default Dancer inject like qw(perl_version dancer_version settings request params vars session); ? -- Henk
