NAME¶

Dancer2::Plugin::Ajax - a plugin for adding Ajax route handlers

VERSION¶

version 0.152000

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'
