NAME

Mojolicious::Plugins - Plugins

SYNOPSIS

    use Mojolicious::Plugins;

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicous::Plugins is the plugin manager of Mojolicious. In your application you will usually use it to load plugins. To implement your own plugins see Mojolicious::Plugin and the add_hook method below.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojolicious::Plugins implements the following attributes.

hooks

    my $hooks = $plugins->hooks;
    $plugins  = $plugins->hooks({foo => [sub {...}]});

Hash reference containing all hooks that have been registered by loaded plugins.

namespaces

    my $namespaces = $plugins->namespaces;
    $plugins       = $plugins->namespaces(['Mojolicious::Plugin']);

Namespaces to load plugins from. You can add more namespaces to load application specific plugins.

METHODS

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

add_hook

    $plugins = $plugins->add_hook(event => sub {...});

Hook into an event. The following events are available and run in the listed order.

after_build_tx

Runs right after the transaction is built and before the HTTP request gets parsed. One usage case would be upload progress bars. (Passed the transaction instance)

    $plugins->add_hook(before_request => sub {
        my ($self, $tx) = @_;
    });
before_dispatch

Runs before the dispatchers determines what action to run. (Passed the default controller instance)

    $plugins->add_hook(before_dispatch => sub {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
    });
after_static_dispatch

Runs after the static dispatcher determines if a static file should be served. (Passed the default controller instance) Note that the callbacks of this hook run in reverse order.

    $plugins->add_hook(after_static_dispatch => sub {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
    });
after_dispatch

Runs after the dispatchers determines what action to run. (Passed the default controller instance) Note that the callbacks of this hook run in reverse order.

    $plugins->add_hook(after_dispatch => sub {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
    });

You could also add custom events by using run_hook and run_hook_reverse in your application.

    my $plugin = $plugins->load_plugin('Foo::Bar');

    $plugins->register_plugin('Foo::Bar', $app);
    $plugins->register_plugin('Foo::Bar', $app, foo => 23);
    $plugins->register_plugin('Foo::Bar', $app, {foo => 23});
