VERSION

version 0.153001

SYNOPSIS

    package MyWebApp;

    use Dancer2;
    use Dancer2::Plugin::Ajax;

    # For GET / POST
    ajax '/check_for_update' => sub {
        # ... some Ajax code
    };

    # For all valid HTTP methods
    ajax ['get', 'post', ... ] => '/check_for_more' => sub {
        # ... some Ajax code
    };

    dance;

DESCRIPTION

The ajax keyword which is exported by this plugin allow you to define a route handler optimized for Ajax queries.

The route handler code will be compiled to behave like the following:

• Pass if the request header X-Requested-With doesn't equal XMLHttpRequest

• Disable the layout

• The action built matches POST / GET requests by default. This can be extended by passing it an ArrayRef of allowed HTTP methods.

CONFIGURATION

By default the plugin will use a content-type of 'text/xml' but this can be overridden with plugin setting 'content_type'.

Here is example to use JSON:

  plugins:
    Ajax:
      content_type: 'application/json'
