Replying to my own email to add some additional info I just discovered. See below -- Puneet Kishor wrote:
I am trying to build a little framework for myself with some custom functionality. Consider the following
/Users/punkish/Sites/app/lib/mydance.pm --------------------------------------- package mydance; use Dancer ':syntax'; use Dancer::Plugin::Email; use Crypt::GeneratePassword; use DBI;
prefix '/mydance';
If I remove the above `prefix` line, the application works. However, the reason I have that line is because I want to accomplish the following -- I want my app to inherit from mydance. Then, assuming my app is at http://server/, if the user requests http://server/anything, it is served from the routes in app.pm, however, if http://server/mydance/anything is requested, then those are served from mydance.pm routes. How do I accomplish the above?
get '/' => sub { template '/index', opts(); }; sub opts { return { app_name => config->{app_name} } }
/Users/punkish/Sites/app/lib/app.pm ----------------------------------- package app; use Dancer ':syntax'; use base 'mydance';
get '/' => sub { template 'index.tt', __PACKAGE__->SUPER::opts(); };
-----
If I remove the `use base 'mydance'` line and remove the call to `__PACKAGE__->SUPER::opts()` the above works, but of course, the app is not base-d on mydance. With the code as above, I get the dancer 404 "this is the void" message.
What am I doing wrong?
Eventually, I would like to move mydance to some other central location that would be in @INC, so other applications I develop can also be base-d on mydance.
