Very nice! From: dancer-users [mailto:dancer-users-bounces@dancer.pm] On Behalf Of Russell Jenkins Sent: 27 October 2015 12:36 To: dancer-users@dancer.pm Subject: [dancer-users] Dancer2::Plugin::SendAs Fellow Dancers, At the Dancer conference in Vienna last week, Dancer2::Plugin::SendAs was developed and released. This plugin makes it easy to return either serialized content or HTML from a route. Here's the synopsis: use Dancer2; use Dancer2::Plugin::SendAs; set serializer => 'YAML'; set template => 'template_toolkit'; # returns HTML content, though YAML serializer is configured get '/html' => sub { send_as html => template 'foo'; }; # returns JSON content, even with YAML serializer configured get '/json/**' => sub { send_as json => splat; # JSON, not YAML! }; Sawyer and I briefly discussed if this should be core functionality during the conference. We decided to release it as a plugin and review moving it to core if other Dancers find this functionality useful. Grab it from CPAN and give it a workout [1]. If send_as solves an issue for your apps or makes your code simpler, let us know (responding here if fine). If there is enough [2] feedback that this is generally useful, we'll make it core functionality. Happy dancing! Russell. [1] I'm doing some post-conference travel, so haven't used it in anger myself yet. [2] Don't ask me to quantify "enough" ;)
