=head1 NAME
Web::Simple - A quick and easy way to build simple web applications
-=head1 WARNING
-
-This is really quite new. If you're reading this on CPAN, it means the stuff
-that's here we're probably happy with. But only probably. So we may have to
-change stuff. And if you're reading this from git, come check with irc.perl.org
-#web-simple that we're actually sure we're going to keep anything that's
-different from the CPAN version.
-
-If we do find we have to change stuff we'll add to the
-L<CHANGES BETWEEN RELEASES> section explaining how to switch your code across
-to the new version, and we'll do our best to make it as painless as possible
-because we've got Web::Simple applications too. But we can't promise not to
-change things at all. Not yet. Sorry.

+this file will also act as a class module, so you can save it as HelloWorld.pm
+and use it as-is in test scripts or other deployment mechanisms.
+
+Note that you should retain the ->run_if_script even if your app is a
+module, since this additionally makes it valid as a .psgi file, which can
+be extremely useful during development.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This sets up your package (in this case "NameOfApplication" is your package)
so that it inherits from L<Web::Simple::Application> and imports L<strictures>,
-as well as installs a C<PSGI_ENV> constant for convenience, as well as some
+as well as installs a C<PSGI_ENV> constant for convenience, as well as some
other subroutines.
Importing L<strictures> will automatically make your code use the C<strict> and
...
}
+Well, a sub is a valid PSGI response too (for ultimate streaming and async
+cleverness). If you want to return a PSGI sub you have to wrap it into an
+array ref.
+
+ sub dispatch_request {
+ [ sub {
+ my $respond = shift;
+ # This is pure PSGI here, so read perldoc PSGI
+ } ]
+ }
+
If you return a subroutine with a prototype, the prototype is treated
as a match specification - and if the test is passed, the body of the
sub is called as a method any matched arguments (see below for more details).
and so on. To match an arbitrary number of parts, use -
sub (/page/**) {
+ my ($self, $match) = @_;
-This will result in an element per /-separated part so matched. Note that
-you can do
+This will result in a single element for the entire match. Note that you can do
sub (/page/**/edit) {
to match an arbitrary number of parts up to but not including some final
part.
+Note: Since Web::Simple handles a concept of file extensions, * and **
+matchers will not by default match things after a final dot, and this
+can be modified by using *.* and **.* in the final position, i.e.:
+
+ /one/* matches /one/two.three and captures "two"
+ /one/*.* matches /one/two.three and captures "two.three"
+ /** matches /one/two.three and captures "one/two"
+ /**.* matches /one/two.three and captures "one/two.three"
+
Finally,
sub (/foo/...) {
-Will match /foo/ on the beginning of the path -and- strip it. This is designed
-to be used to construct nested dispatch structures, but can also prove useful
-for having e.g. an optional language specification at the start of a path.
+Will match C</foo/> on the beginning of the path -and- strip it. This is
+designed to be used to construct nested dispatch structures, but can also prove
+useful for having e.g. an optional language specification at the start of a
+path.
Note that the '...' is a "maybe something here, maybe not" so the above
specification will match like this:
/foo/ # match and strip path to '/'
/foo/bar/baz # match and strip path to '/bar/baz'
-Note: Since Web::Simple handles a concept of file extensions, * and **
-matchers will not by default match things after a final dot, and this
-can be modified by using *.* and **.* in the final position, i.e.:
+Almost the same,
- /one/* matches /one/two.three and captures "two"
- /one/*.* matches /one/two.three and captures "two.three"
- /** matches /one/two.three and captures "one/two"
- /**.* matches /one/two.three and captures "one/two.three"
+ sub (/foo...) {
+
+Will match on C</foo/bar/baz>, but also include C</foo>. Otherwise it
+operates the same way as C</foo/...>.
+
+ /foo # match and strip path to ''
+ /foo/ # match and strip path to '/'
+ /foo/bar/baz # match and strip path to '/bar/baz'
+
+Please note the difference between C<sub(/foo/...)> and C<sub(/foo...)>. In
+the first case, this is expecting to find something after C</foo> (and fails to
+match if nothing is found), while in the second case we can match both C</foo>
+and C</foo/more/to/come>. The following are roughly the same:
+
+ sub (/foo) { 'I match /foo' },
+ sub (/foo/...) {
+ sub (/bar) { 'I match /foo/bar' },
+ sub (/*) { 'I match /foo/{id}' },
+ }
+
+Versus
+
+ sub (/foo...) {
+ sub (~) { 'I match /foo' },
+ sub (/bar) { 'I match /foo/bar' },
+ sub (/*) { 'I match /foo/{id}' },
+ }
+
+You may prefer the latter example should you wish to take advantage of
+subdispatchers to scope common activities. For example:
+
+ sub (/user...) {
+ my $user_rs = $schema->resultset('User');
+ sub (~) { $user_rs },
+ sub (/*) { $user_rs->find($_[1]) },
+ }
+
+You should note the special case path match C<sub (~)> which is only meaningful
+when it is contained in this type of path match. It matches to an empty path.
+
+=head4 Naming your patch matches
+
+Any */**/*.*/**.* match can be followed with :name to make it into a named
+match, so:
+
+ sub (/*:one/*:two/*:three/*:four) {
+ "I match /1/2/3/4 capturing { one => 1, two => 2, three => 3, four => 4 }"
+ }
+
+ sub (/**.*:allofit) {
+ "I match anything capturing { allofit => \$whole_path }"
+ }
+
+In the specific case of a simple single-* match, the * may be omitted, to
+allow you to write:
+
+ sub (/:one/:two/:three/:four) {
+ "I match /1/2/3/4 capturing { one => 1, two => 2, three => 3, four => 4 }"
+ }
+
+=head4 C</foo> and C</foo/> are different specs
+
+As you may have noticed with the difference between C<sub(/foo/...)> and
+C<sub(/foo...)>, trailing slashes in path specs are significant. This is
+intentional and necessary to retain the ability to use relative links on
+websites. Let's demonstrate on this link:
+
+ <a href="bar">bar</a>
+
+If the user loads the url C</foo/> and clicks on this link, they will be
+sent to C</foo/bar>. However when they are on the url C</foo> and click this
+link, then they will be sent to C</bar>.
+
+This makes it necessary to be explicit about the trailing slash.
=head3 Extension matches
sub (?<param spec>) { # match URI query
sub (%<param spec>) { # match body params
-The body is only matched if the content type is
-application/x-www-form-urlencoded (note this means that Web::Simple does
-not yet handle uploads; this will be addressed in a later release).
+The body spec will match if the request content is either
+application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data - the latter
+of which is required for uploads, which are now handled experimentally
+- see below.
The param spec is elements of one of the following forms -
Note, in the case where you combine arrayref, single parameter and named
hashref style, the arrayref and single parameters will appear in C<@_> in the
-order you defined them in the protoype, but all hashrefs will merge into a
+order you defined them in the protoype, but all hashrefs will merge into a
single C<$params>, as in the example above.
+=head3 Upload matches (EXPERIMENTAL)
+
+Note: This feature is experimental. This means that it may not remain
+100% in its current form. If we change it, notes on updating your code
+will be added to the L</CHANGES BETWEEN RELEASES> section below.
+
+ sub (*foo=) { # param specifier can be anything valid for query or body
+
+The upload match system functions exactly like a query/body match, except
+that the values returned (if any) are C<Web::Dispatch::Upload> objects.
+
+Note that this match type will succeed in two circumstances where you might
+not expect it to - first, when the field exists but is not an upload field
+and second, when the field exists but the form is not an upload form (i.e.
+content type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" rather than
+"multipart/form-data"). In either of these cases, what you'll get back is
+a C<Web::Dispatch::NotAnUpload> object, which will C<die> with an error
+pointing out the problem if you try and use it. To be sure you have a real
+upload object, call
+
+ $upload->is_upload # returns 1 on a valid upload, 0 on a non-upload field
+
+and to get the reason why such an object is not an upload, call
+
+ $upload->reason # returns a reason or '' on a valid upload.
+
+Other than these two methods, the upload object provides the same interface
+as L<Plack::Request::Upload> with the addition of a stringify to the temporary
+filename to make copying it somewhere else easier to handle.
+
=head3 Combining matches
Matches may be combined with the + character - e.g.
request had been made to '/other/url' instead.
Note, this is not the same as returning an HTTP 3xx redirect as a response;
-rather it is a much more efficient internal process.
