Re: [dancer-users] Question about Perl Dancer Framework

      Hi Jean-Marie.

Welcome! :)

Let's go over the code you showed.
...
get '/index' => sub { template 'index' };
That will declare a path "/index" for a GET request which will render a
template called (if you're using the default templating framework) "index.tt".
So far so good.
...
get '/' => sub { template 'login' };
When someone goes to the main page, render 'login.tt'.
...
get 'test' => sub {
    template 'test';
};
You probably want to change this to "get '/test'" instead of "get 'test'".
Paths should begin with "/", almost always.
...
#return '<script> document.location("./views/test.tt
");</script>';

In this case, you want to simply use "redirect" keyword which would do this
for you:
get '/test' => sub {
    redirect "/"; # redirect to main page
};

In your example, you're trying to redirect to "./views/test.tt" which is a
file. HTTP redirects are for *paths*, not *files*.

If you want people who go to "/wrong/place" to go to "/test" which renders
the right template ("test.tt"), you would write this:
get '/wrong/place => sub { redirect '/test' };
get '/test => sub { template 'test'; }

Does this help?

Hi guys!
I recently tried to build my own web application using Dancer but I'm a
basic perl developer and I have any interrogations about this framework.
I've first tried to build a login page based on your "navbar_login"
example.
Once logged in I try to call another page named "test" but it seems to
not work (I don't know how to call my page and how Dancer work exactly ..
to be honest :-(  . )
:
I have a login.pm module, main.tt (in views/layout/) index.tt and
test.tt in views.
Im my login.pm I have declared my routes as following:
get '/index' => sub { template 'index' };
get '/' => sub { template 'login' };
get 'test' => sub {
    template 'test';
};
So, once logged in I try (and fail) to call my page like this:
elsif($password eq "12345") {
               #print "ok";
               #return '<script> document.location("./views/test.tt
");</script>';
               #return  template 'examples/photo_carousel';#  'index';
               #my @animals = qw/dogs cats camels mooses vogons/;
               return template  'test' => {
                       show => "launching test.tt",
               };
               #session $username => params->{$username};
               #redirect params ->{'index'};
#show_
               }
Fail also with redirect parameter .. But why and how to call my test
page ?
I don't understand why it doesn't work, can you explain me please ?
Thanks a lot !
