I'm leaving for a two weeks holidays this afternoon. I will investigate that when I'm back. --- Pierre Masci I check email a couple times daily; to reach me sooner, you can send me a text message via this page: https://awayfind.com/mascip On 5 December 2013 13:23, Pierre M <piemas25@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, here is what I'm trying to do:
package mbf; use Dancer2; use Dancer2::Plugin::REST; prepare_serializer_for_format;
get '/page.:format' => sub { [ 'some key' => 'value', 'something'=> 'else', ] }; true;
And when I go to http://localhost:5000/page.json<http://localhost:5000/markets.json>I get ARRAY(0x23b3880) in the browser. The data was not serialized. What did I do wrong?
As an alternative I've done something that works:
package mbf; use Dancer2; use Dancer2::Serializer::JSON;
get '/page.json' => sub { to_json([ 'some key' => 'value', 'something'=> 'else', ]); }; true;
And in the browser I get what I expect: ["some key","value","something","else"] I would like to use use Dancer2::Plugin::REST though, to leave the choice of format to whoever will use the API.
I noticed a detail in the module's documentation. The two examples given are: get '/user/:id.:format' => sub { and get qr{^/user/(?<id>\d+)\.(?<format>\w+)} => sub {
The first example is similar to my case, but not the second one. And the documentation says: "Regexp routes will use the file-extension from captures->{'format'} to determine the serialization format." Which seems to indicate that only the second use case in the documentation would work. I tried it. It didn't work for me either. I must be doing something wrong. Any idea?
