Dancer::Serializer(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationDancer::Serializer(3)NAMEDancer::Serializer - serializer wrapper for Dancer
DESCRIPTION
This module is the wrapper that provides support for different
serializers.
USAGE
Default engine
The default serializer used by Dancer::Serializer is
Dancer::Serializer::JSON. You can choose another serializer by setting
the serializer configuration variable.
Configuration
The serializer configuration variable tells Dancer which serializer to
use to deserialize request and serialize response.
You change it either in your config.yml file:
serializer: "YAML"
Or in the application code:
# setting JSON as the default serializer
set serializer => 'JSON';
In your routes you can access parameters just like any route.
When in a route you return a Perl data structure, it will be serialized
automatically to the respective serialized engine (for instance,
"JSON").
For "PUT" and "POST" methods you can access the "request-"body> as a
string, and you can unserialize it, if you really need. If your content
type is recognized by the serializer, "request-"body> will be
unserialized automatically, and it will be available as a standard
parameter.
For instance, if you call
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json -d "{'id':'bar'}" /foo
your "foo" route can do something like:
post "/foo" => {
my $id = param('id'); # gets "bar"
# ...
}
