NAME

Mojo - Duct tape for the HTML5 web!

SYNOPSIS

  use Mojo::Base 'Mojo';

  # All the complexities of CGI, PSGI, HTTP and WebSockets get reduced to a
  # single method call!
  sub handler {
    my ($self, $tx) = @_;

    # Request
    my $method = $tx->req->method;
    my $path   = $tx->req->url->path;

    # Response
    $tx->res->code(200);
    $tx->res->headers->content_type('text/plain');
    $tx->res->body("$method request for $path!");

    # Resume transaction
    $tx->resume;
  }

DESCRIPTION

Mojo provides a flexible runtime environment for Perl real-time web frameworks. It provides all the basic tools and helpers needed to write simple web applications and higher level web frameworks such as Mojolicious.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo implements the following attributes.

home

  my $home = $app->home;
  $app     = $app->home(Mojo::Home->new);

The home directory of your application, defaults to a Mojo::Home object which stringifies to the actual path.

  # Generate portable path relative to home directory
  my $path = $app->home->rel_file('data/important.txt');

log

  my $log = $app->log;
  $app    = $app->log(Mojo::Log->new);

The logging layer of your application, defaults to a Mojo::Log object.

  # Log debug message
  $app->log->debug('It works!');

ua

  my $ua = $app->ua;
  $app   = $app->ua(Mojo::UserAgent->new);

A full featured HTTP 1.1 user agent for use in your applications, defaults to a Mojo::UserAgent object.

  # Perform blocking request
  my $body = $app->ua->get('mojolicio.us')->res->body;

METHODS

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

new

  my $app = Mojo->new;

Construct a new Mojo application. Will automatically detect your home directory and set up logging to log/mojo.log if there's a log directory.

build_tx

  my $tx = $app->build_tx;

Transaction builder, defaults to building a Mojo::Transaction::HTTP object.

config

  my $config = $app->config;
  my $foo    = $app->config('foo');
  $app       = $app->config({foo => 'bar'});
  $app       = $app->config(foo => 'bar');

Application configuration.

  # Manipulate configuration
  $app->config->{foo} = 'bar';
  my $foo = $app->config->{foo};
  delete $app->config->{foo};

handler

  $app->handler($tx);

The handler is the main entry point to your application or framework and meant to be overloaded in a subclass. It will be called for each new transaction, which will usually be a Mojo::Transaction::HTTP or Mojo::Transaction::WebSocket object.

  sub handler {
    my ($self, $tx) = @_;
    ...
  }
