Mojo(3)

NAME
Mojo - Duct tape for the HTML5 web!

SYNOPSIS
  package MyApp;
  use Mojo::Base 'Mojo';

  # All the complexities of CGI, PSGI, HTTP and WebSockets get reduced to a
  # single method call!
  sub handler {
    my ($self, $tx) = @_;

    # Request
    my $method = $tx->req->method;
    my $path   = $tx->req->url->path;

    # Response
    $tx->res->code(200);
    $tx->res->headers->content_type('text/plain');
    $tx->res->body("$method request for $path!");

    # Resume transaction
    $tx->resume;
  }

DESCRIPTION
A flexible runtime environment for Perl real-time web frameworks, with all the basic tools and helpers needed to write simple web applications and higher level web frameworks, such as Mojolicious.

See Mojolicious::Guides for more!

ATTRIBUTES
Mojo implements the following attributes.

  home
  my $home = $app->home;
  $app     = $app->home(Mojo::Home->new);

The home directory of your application, defaults to a Mojo::Home object which stringifies to the actual path.

  # Generate portable path relative to home directory
  my $path = $app->home->rel_file('data/important.txt');

  log
  my $log = $app->log;
  $app    = $app->log(Mojo::Log->new);

The logging layer of your application, defaults to a Mojo::Log object.

  # Log debug message
  $app->log->debug('It works');

  ua
  my $ua = $app->ua;
  $app   = $app->ua(Mojo::UserAgent->new);

A full featured HTTP user agent for use in your applications, defaults to a Mojo::UserAgent object.

  # Perform blocking request
  say $app->ua->get('example.com')->res->body;

METHODS
Mojo inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

  build_tx
  my $tx = $app->build_tx;

Transaction builder, defaults to building a Mojo::Transaction::HTTP object.

  config
  my $hash = $app->config;
  my $foo  = $app->config('foo');
  $app     = $app->config({foo => 'bar'});
  $app     = $app->config(foo => 'bar');

Application configuration.

  # Remove value
  my $foo = delete $app->config->{foo};

  # Assign multiple values at once
  $app->config(foo => 'test', bar => 23);

  handler
  $app->handler(Mojo::Transaction::HTTP->new);

The handler is the main entry point to your application or framework and will be called for each new transaction, which will usually be a Mojo::Transaction::HTTP or Mojo::Transaction::WebSocket object. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

  sub handler {
    my ($self, $tx) = @_;
    ...
  }
