=head1 NAME
Dancer2::Core::Request - Interface for accessing incoming requests
=head1 VERSION
version 1.1.2
=head1 SYNOPSIS
In a route handler, the current request object can be accessed by the
C<request> keyword:
get '/foo' => sub {
request->params; # request, params parsed as a hash ref
request->body; # returns the request body, unparsed
request->path; # the path requested by the client
# ...
};
=head1 DESCRIPTION
An object representing a Dancer2 request. It aims to provide a proper
interface to anything you might need from a web request.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 address
Return the IP address of the client.
=head2 base
Returns an absolute URI for the base of the application. Returns a L<URI>
object (which stringifies to the URL, as you'd expect).
=head2 body_parameters
Returns a L<Hash::MultiValue> object representing the POST parameters.
=head2 body
Return the raw body of the request, unparsed.
If you need to access the body of the request, you have to use this accessor and
should not try to read C<psgi.input> by hand. C<Dancer2::Core::Request>
already did it for you and kept the raw body untouched in there.
=head2 body_data
Returns the body of the request in data form, making it possible to distinguish
between C<body_parameters>, a representation of the request parameters
(L<Hash::MultiValue>) and other forms of content.
If a serializer is set, this is the deserialized request body. Otherwise this is
the decoded body parameters (if any), or the body content itself.
=head2 content
Returns the undecoded byte string POST body.
=head2 cookies
Returns a reference to a hash containing cookies, where the keys are the names of the
cookies and values are L<Dancer2::Core::Cookie> objects.
=head2 data
If the application has a serializer and if the request has serialized
content, returns the deserialized structure as a hashref.
=head2 dispatch_path
Alias for L<path>. Deprecated.
=head2 env
Return the current PSGI environment hash reference.
=head2 header($name)
Return the value of the given header, if present. If the header has multiple
values, returns an the list of values if called in list context, the first one
in scalar.
=head2 headers
Returns either an L<HTTP::Headers> or an L<HTTP::Headers::Fast> object
representing the headers.
=head2 id
The ID of the request. This allows you to trace a specific request in loggers,
per the string created using C<to_string>.
The ID of the request is essentially the number of requests run in the current
class.
=head2 input
Alias to C<input_handle> method below.
=head2 input_handle
Alias to the PSGI input handle (C<< request->env->{'psgi.input'} >>)
=head2 is_ajax
Return true if the value of the header C<X-Requested-With> is
C<XMLHttpRequest>.
=head2 is_delete
Return true if the method requested by the client is 'DELETE'
=head2 is_get
Return true if the method requested by the client is 'GET'
=head2 is_head
Return true if the method requested by the client is 'HEAD'
=head2 is_post
Return true if the method requested by the client is 'POST'
=head2 is_put
Return true if the method requested by the client is 'PUT'
=head2 is_options
Return true if the method requested by the client is 'OPTIONS'
=head2 logger
Returns the C<psgix.logger> code reference, if exists.
=head2 method
Return the HTTP method used by the client to access the application.
While this method returns the method string as provided by the environment, it's
better to use one of the following boolean accessors if you want to inspect the
requested method.
=head2 new
The constructor of the class, used internally by Dancer2's core to create request
objects.
It uses the environment hash table given to build the request object:
Dancer2::Core::Request->new( env => $env );
There are two additional parameters for instantiation:
=over 4
=item * serializer
A serializer object to work with when reading the request body.
=item * body_params
Provide body parameters.
Used internally when we need to avoid parsing the body again.
=back
=head2 param($key)
Calls the C<params> method below and fetches the key provided.
=head2 params($source)
Called in scalar context, returns a hashref of params, either from the specified
source (see below for more info on that) or merging all sources.
So, you can use, for instance:
my $foo = params->{foo}
If called in list context, returns a list of key and value pairs, so you could use:
my %allparams = params;
Parameters are merged in the following order: query, body, route - i.e. route
parameters have the highest priority:
POST /hello/Ruth?name=Quentin
name=Bobbie
post '/hello/:name' => sub {
return "Hello, " . route_parameters->get('name') . "!"; # returns Ruth
return "Hello, " . query_parameters->get('name') . "!"; # returns Quentin
return "Hello, " . body_parameters->get('name') . "!"; # returns Bobbie
return "Hello, " . param('name') . "!"; # returns Ruth
};
The L</query_parameters>, L</route_parameters>, and L</body_parameters> keywords
provide a L<Hash::MultiValue> result from the three different parameters.
We recommend using these rather than C<params>, because of the potential for
unintentional behaviour - consider the following request and route handler:
POST /artist/104/new-song
name=Careless Dancing
post '/artist/:id/new-song' => sub {
find_artist(param('id'))->create_song(params);
# oops! we just passed id into create_song,
# but we probably only intended to pass name
find_artist(param('id'))->create_song(body_parameters);
};
POST /artist/104/join-band
id=4
name=Dancing Misfits
post '/artist/:id/new-song' => sub {
find_artist(param('id'))->join_band(params);
# oops! we just passed an id of 104 into join_band,
# but we probably should have passed an id of 4
};
=head2 parameters
Returns a L<Hash::MultiValue> object with merged GET and POST parameters.
Parameters are merged in the following order: query, body, route - i.e. route
parameters have the highest priority - see L</params> for how this works, and
associated risks and alternatives.
=head2 path
The path requested by the client, normalized. This is effectively
C<path_info> or a single forward C</>.
=head2 path_info
The raw requested path. This could be empty. Use C<path> instead.
=head2 port
Return the port of the server.
=head2 protocol
Return the protocol (I<HTTP/1.0> or I<HTTP/1.1>) used for the request.
=head2 query_parameters
Returns a L<Hash::MultiValue> parameters object.
=head2 query_string
Returns the portion of the request defining the query itself - this is
what comes after the C<?> in a URI.
=head2 raw_body
Alias to C<content> method.
=head2 remote_address
Alias for C<address> method.
=head2 remote_host
Return the remote host of the client. This only works with web servers configured
to do a reverse DNS lookup on the client's IP address.
=head2 request_method
Alias to the C<method> accessor, for backward-compatibility with C<CGI> interface.
=head2 request_uri
Return the raw, undecoded request URI path.
=head2 route
Return the L<route|Dancer2::Core::Route> which this request matched.
=head2 scheme
Return the scheme of the request
=head2 script_name
Return script_name from the environment.
=head2 secure
Return true or false, indicating whether the connection is secure - this is
effectively checking if the scheme is I<HTTPS> or not.
=head2 serializer
Returns the optional serializer object used to deserialize request parameters.
=head2 session
Returns the C<psgix.session> hash, if exists.
=head2 session_options
Returns the C<psgix.session.options> hash, if exists.
=head2 to_string
Return a string representing the request object (e.g., C<GET /some/path>).
=head2 upload($name)
Context-aware accessor for uploads. It's a wrapper around an access to the hash
table provided by C<uploads()>. It looks at the calling context and returns a
corresponding value.
If you have many file uploads under the same name, and call C<upload('name')> in
an array context, the accessor will unroll the ARRAY ref for you:
my @uploads = request->upload('many_uploads'); # OK
Whereas with a manual access to the hash table, you'll end up with one element
in C<@uploads>, being the arrayref:
my @uploads = request->uploads->{'many_uploads'};
# $uploads[0]: ARRAY(0xXXXXX)
That is why this accessor should be used instead of a manual access to
C<uploads>.
=head2 uploads
Returns a reference to a hash containing uploads. Values can be either a
L<Dancer2::Core::Request::Upload> object, or an arrayref of
L<Dancer2::Core::Request::Upload>
objects.
You should probably use the C<upload($name)> accessor instead of manually accessing the
C<uploads> hash table.
=head2 uri
An alias to C<request_uri>.
=head2 uri_base
Same thing as C<base> above, except it removes the last trailing slash in the
path if it is the only path.
This means that if your base is I<http://myserver/>, C<uri_base> will return
I<http://myserver> (notice no trailing slash). This is considered very useful
when using templates to do the following thing:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="[% request.uri_base %]/css/style.css" />
=head2 uri_for(path, params)
Constructs a URI from the base and the passed path. If params (hashref) is
supplied, these are added to the query string of the URI.
Thus, with the following base:
You get the following behavior:
my $uri = request->uri_for('/bar', { baz => 'baz' });
print $uri; # http://localhost:5000/foo/bar?baz=baz
C<uri_for> returns a L<URI> object (which can stringify to the value).
=head2 uri_for_route(route_name, route_params, query_params, escape)
Constructs a URI from the base and the path of the specified route name.
Read more about it in the C<Dancer2::Manual::Keywords> document under
C<uri_for_route>.
=head2 user
Return remote user if defined.
=head2 var
By-name interface to variables stored in this request object.
my $stored = $request->var('some_variable');
returns the value of 'some_variable', while
$request->var('some_variable' => 'value');
will set it.
=head2 vars
Access to the internal hash of variables:
my $value = $request->vars->{'my_key'};
You want to use C<var> above.
=head1 Common HTTP request headers
Commonly used client-supplied HTTP request headers are available through
specific accessors:
=over 4
=item C<accept>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_ACCEPT>.
=item C<accept_charset>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET>.
=item C<accept_encoding>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING>.
=item C<accept_language>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE>.
=item C<agent>
Alias for C<user_agent>) below.
=item C<connection>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_CONNECTION>.
=item C<content_encoding>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_CONTENT_ENCODING>.
=item C<content_length>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH>.
=item C<content_type>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE>.
=item C<forwarded_for_address>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR>.
=item C<forwarded_host>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST>.
=item C<forwarded_protocol>
One of either C<HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTOCOL>, C<HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO>, or
C<HTTP_FORWARDED_PROTO>.
=item C<host>
Checks whether we are behind a proxy using the C<behind_proxy>
configuration option, and if so returns the first
C<HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST>, since this is a comma separated list.
If you have not configured that you are behind a proxy, it returns HTTP
header C<HTTP_HOST>.
=item C<keep_alive>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE>.
=item C<referer>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_REFERER>.
=item C<user_agent>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_USER_AGENT>.
=item C<x_requested_with>
HTTP header: C<HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH>.
=back
=head1 Fetching only params from a given source
If a required source isn't specified, a mixed hashref (or list of key value
pairs, in list context) will be returned; this will contain params from all
sources (route, query, body).
In practical terms, this means that if the param C<foo> is passed both on the
querystring and in a POST body, you can only access one of them.
If you want to see only params from a given source, you can say so by passing
the C<$source> param to C<params()>:
my %querystring_params = params('query');
my %route_params = params('route');
my %post_params = params('body');
If source equals C<route>, then only params parsed from the route pattern
are returned.
If source equals C<query>, then only params parsed from the query string are
returned.
If source equals C<body>, then only params sent in the request body will be
returned.
If another value is given for C<$source>, then an exception is triggered.
=head1 EXTRA SPEED
If L<Dancer2::Core::Request> detects the following modules as installed,
it will use them to speed things up:
=over 4
=item * L<URL::Encode::XS>
=item * L<CGI::Deurl::XS>
