Hi Dancer users
I hope you can help me. I'm pretty new to Dancer and I'm trying to write a simple web service for note taking. The SimpleCRUD module looks perfect for my needs, but I need to add a timestamp to the record that SimpleCRUD creates.
From the documentation I assume the right way to do this is with the 'add_edit_row_pre_save' hook, but the code in that sub doesn't seem to ever get called.
The first and most obvious check is that you have at least version 0.91 of Dancer::Plugin::SimpleCRUD installed - as that's the version the add_edit_row_pre_save hook was first added in.
simple_crud( record_title => 'Log item', prefix => '/crud', db_table => 'prototype', editable => 1, editable_columns => [ qw( UFirstName ULastName Details Type KFirstName KLastName Outcome ) ], add_edit_row_pre_save => sub { my $row = shift; open TESTOUTPUT, ">", "TEST.txt" or die "$!"; print TESTOUTPUT "hello"; close TESTOUTPUT; }, );
That's not how you use it - it's a Dancer hook registered by the plugin, so you use the normal Dancer hook syntax, e.g.: hook add_edit_row_pre_save => sub { ... };
Does anyone have some sample code or tips on how to implement 'add_edit_row_pre_save' that they would be willing to share? My Googling turned up nothing.
Hmm - looking at the docs, it's not at all clear that they're Dancer hooks and use the normal Dancer syntax. I'll try to address that! -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp@preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github
