NAME

Dancer::Plugin::RPC::RESTISH - Simple plugin to implement a restish interface.

SYNOPSIS

In the Controler-bit:

    use Dancer::Plugin::RPC::RESTISH;
    restish '/endpoint' => {
        publish   => 'pod',
        arguments => ['MyProject::Admin'],
    };

and in the Model-bit (MyProject::Admin):

    package MyProject::Admin;
    
    =for restish GET@ability/:id rpc_get_ability_details
    
    =cut
    
    sub rpc_get_ability_details {
        my %args = @_; # contains: {"id": 42}
        return {
            # datastructure
        };
    }
    1;

DESCRIPTION

RESTISH is an implementation of REST that lets you bind routes to code in the style the rest of Dancer::Plugin::RPC modules do.

This version only supports JSON as data serialisation.

restish '/base_path' => \%publisher_arguments

See Dancer::Plugin::RPC, Dancer::Plugin::RPC::JSONRPC, Dancer::Plugin::RPC::RESTRPC, Dancer::Plugin::RPC::XMLRPC for more information about the %publisher_arguments.

Implement the routes for REST

The plugin registers Dancer-any route-handlers for the base_path + method_path and the route-handler looks for a data-handler that matches the path and HTTP-method.

Method-paths can contain colon-prefixed parameters native to Dancer. These parameters will be merged with the content.

Method-paths are prefixed by a HTTP-method followed by @:

publisher => 'config'

plugins: 'RPC::RESTISH': '/rest': 'MyProject::Admin': 'GET@resources': 'get_all_resourses' 'POST@resource': 'create_resource' 'GET@resource/:id': 'get_resource' 'PATCH@resource/:id': 'update_resource' 'DELETE@resource/:id': 'delete_resource'

publisher => 'pod'

    =for restish GET@resources       get_all_resources /rest
    =for restish POST@resource       create_resource   /rest
    =for restish GET@resource/:id    get_resource      /rest
    =for restish PATCH@resource/:id  update_resource   /rest
    =for restish DELETE@resource/:id delete_resource   /rest

The third argument (the base_path) is optional.
