        'filepath' => '/tmp/files/file.pdf',
        'format'   => 'pdf',                 # will change Content-Type "application/x-download" to "application/pdf"
        'content_disposition' => 'inline',   # will change Content-Disposition from "attachment" to "inline"

    );

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::RenderFile is a Mojolicious plugin that adds "render_file" helper. It does not read file in memory and just streaming it to a client.

HELPERS

render_file

    $self->render_file(filepath => '/tmp/files/file.pdf', 'filename' => 'report.pdf' );

With this helper you can easily provide files for download. By default "Content-Type" header is "application/x-download" and "content_disposition" option value is "attachment". Therefore, a browser will ask where to save file. You can provide "format" option to change "Content-Type" header.

Supported Options:

filepath

Path on the filesystem to the file. You must always pass "filepath" or "data" option

data

Binary content which will be transfered to browser. You must always pass "filepath" or "data" option

filename (optional)

Browser will use this name for saving the file

format (optional)

The "Content-Type" header is based on the MIME type mapping of the "format" option value. These mappings can be easily extended or changed with "types" in Mojolicious.

By default "Content-Type" header is "application/x-download"

content_disposition (optional)

Tells browser how to present the file.

"attachment" (default) - is for dowloading

"inline" - is for showing file inline

cleanup (optional)

Indicates if the file should be deleted when rendering is complete

This plugin respects HTTP Range headers.
