-
- default_config(
- one_key => 'foo',
- another_key => 'bar',
- );
-
- ...
-
- $self->config->{one_key} # 'foo'
-
-This creates the default configuration for the application, by creating a
-
- sub _default_config {
- return (one_key => 'foo', another_key => 'bar');
- }
-
-in the application namespace when executed. Note that this means that
-you should only run default_config once - calling it a second time will

-=head2 dispatch
-
- dispatch {

- },
- sub () {

- }
- };
-
-The dispatch subroutine calls NameOfApplication->_setup_dispatcher with
-the return value of the block passed to it, which then creates your Web::Simple
-application's dispatcher from these subs. The prototype of each subroutine
-is expected to be a Web::Simple dispatch specification (see
-L</DISPATCH SPECIFICATIONS> below for more details), and the body of the
-subroutine is the code to execute if the specification matches.
-
-Each dispatcher is given the dispatcher constructed from the next subroutine
-returned as its next dispatcher, except for the final subroutine, which
-is given the return value of NameOfApplication->_build_final_dispatcher
-as its next dispatcher (by default this returns a 500 error response).
-
-See L</DISPATCH STRATEGY> below for details on how the Web::Simple dispatch
-system uses the return values of these subroutines to determine how to
-continue, alter or abort dispatch.
-
-Note that _setup_dispatcher creates a
-
- sub _dispatcher {
- return <root dispatcher object here>;
- }
-
-method in your class so as with default_config, calling dispatch a second time
-will result in an exception.

-=head2 response_filter
-
- response_filter {
- # Hide errors from the user because we hates them, preciousss
- if (ref($_[1]) eq 'ARRAY' && $_[1]->[0] == 500) {
- $_[1] = [ 200, @{$_[1]}[1..$#{$_[1]}] ];
- }
- return $_[1];
- };
-
-The response_filter subroutine is designed for use inside dispatch subroutines.
-
-It creates and returns a special dispatcher that always matches, and calls
-the block passed to it as a filter on the result of running the rest of the
-current dispatch chain.
-
-Thus the filter above runs further dispatch as normal, but if the result of
-dispatch is a 500 (Internal Server Error) response, changes this to a 200 (OK)
-response without altering the headers or body.
-
-=head2 redispatch_to
-
- redispatch_to '/other/url';
-
-The redispatch_to subroutine is designed for use inside dispatch subroutines.
-
-It creates and returns a special dispatcher that always matches, and instead
-of continuing dispatch re-delegates it to the start of the dispatch process,
-but with the path of the request altered to the supplied URL.
-
-Thus if you receive a POST to '/some/url' and return a redipstch to
-'/other/url', the dispatch behaviour will be exactly as if the same POST
-request had been made to '/other/url' instead.
-
-=head2 subdispatch
-
- subdispatch sub (/user/*/) {
- my $u = $self->user($_[1]);
- [
- sub (GET) { $u },
- sub (DELETE) { $u->delete },
- ]
- }
-
-The subdispatch subroutine is designed for use in dispatcher construction.
-
-It creates a dispatcher which, if it matches, treats its return value not
-as a final value but an arrayref of dispatch specifications such as could
-be passed to the dispatch subroutine itself. These are turned into a dispatcher
-which is then invoked. Any changes the match makes to the request are in
-scope for this inner dispatcher only - so if the initial match is a
-destructive one like .html the full path will be restored if the
-subdispatch fails.
