NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::JSONP - Render JSONP with transparent fallback to JSON

SYNOPSIS

plugin JSONP => callback => 'callback_function';

get '/' => sub {
  shift->render_jsonp({one => 'two'});
};

# GET request:
#  ?callback_function=my_function

# Response:
#  my_function({"one":"two"})

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::JSONP is a helper for rendering JSONP with a transparent fallback to JSON if a callback parameter is not specified.

The render_jsonp helper renders a Perl reference as JSON, wrapped in a supplied callback. If a callback is not supplied, only the JSON structure is returned.

Explanation

Given the following configuration:

plugin JSONP => callback => 'callback_function';

And the following action:

get '/' {
  shift->render_jsonp({one => 'two'})
};

And this client (browser) request:

http://domain.com/?callback_function=my_function

The following is returned:

my_function({"one":"two"});

If the client request does not specify the expected callback function:

http://domain.com/  # No parameters specified

Only the JSON is returned:

{"one":"two"}

Optionally, specify the callback function name in the render_jsonp helper:

get '/' => sub {
  shift->render_jsonp(callback_function => {one => "two"});
};

Overriding plugin configuration, the following response is returned:

callback_function({"one":"two"})
