.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
An amazing real-time web framework built on top of the powerful Mojo web development toolkit. With support for
RESTful routes, plugins, commands, Perl-ish templates, content negotiation, session management, form validation,
testing framework, static file server, \f(CW\*(C`CGI\*(C'\fR/\f(CW\*(C`PSGI\*(C'\fR detection, first class Unicode support and much more for you to
discover.
.PP
Take a look at our excellent documentation in Mojolicious::Guides!
.SH HOOKS
.IX Header "HOOKS"
Mojolicious will emit the following hooks in the listed order.
.SS before_command
.IX Subsection "before_command"
Emitted right before the application runs a command through the command line interface.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(before_command => sub ($command, $args) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Useful for reconfiguring the application before running a command or to modify the behavior of a command. (Passed the
command object and the command arguments)
.SS before_server_start
.IX Subsection "before_server_start"
Emitted right before the application server is started, for web servers that support it, which includes all the
built-in ones.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(before_server_start => sub ($server, $app) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Useful for reconfiguring application servers dynamically or collecting server diagnostics information. (Passed the
server and application objects)
.SS after_build_tx
.IX Subsection "after_build_tx"
Emitted right after the transaction is built and before the HTTP request gets parsed.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(after_build_tx => sub ($tx, $app) {...});
.Ve
.PP
This is a very powerful hook and should not be used lightly, it makes some rather advanced features such as upload
progress bars possible. Note that this hook will not work for embedded applications, because only the host application
gets to build transactions. (Passed the transaction and application objects)
.SS around_dispatch
.IX Subsection "around_dispatch"
Emitted right after a new request has been received and wraps around the whole dispatch process, so you have to
manually forward to the next hook if you want to continue the chain. Default exception handling with
"reply\->exception" in Mojolicious::Plugin::DefaultHelpers is the first hook in the chain and a call to
"dispatch" the last, yours will be in between.
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  $app\->hook(around_dispatch => sub ($next, $c) {
\&    ...
\&    $next\->();
\&    ...
\&  });
.Ve
.PP
This is a very powerful hook and should not be used lightly, it allows you to, for example, customize application-wide
exception handling, consider it the sledgehammer in your toolbox. (Passed a callback leading to the next hook and the
default controller object)
.SS before_dispatch
.IX Subsection "before_dispatch"
Emitted right before the static file server and router start their work.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(before_dispatch => sub ($c) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Very useful for rewriting incoming requests and other preprocessing tasks. (Passed the default controller object)
.SS after_static
.IX Subsection "after_static"
Emitted after a static file response has been generated by the static file server.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(after_static => sub ($c) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Mostly used for post-processing static file responses. (Passed the default controller object)
.SS before_routes
.IX Subsection "before_routes"
Emitted after the static file server determined if a static file should be served and before the router starts its
work.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(before_routes => sub ($c) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Mostly used for custom dispatchers and collecting metrics. (Passed the default controller object)
.SS around_action
.IX Subsection "around_action"
Emitted right before an action gets executed and wraps around it, so you have to manually forward to the next hook if
you want to continue the chain. Default action dispatching is the last hook in the chain, yours will run before it.
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  $app\->hook(around_action => sub ($next, $c, $action, $last) {
\&    ...
\&    return $next\->();
\&  });
.Ve
.PP
This is a very powerful hook and should not be used lightly, it allows you for example to pass additional arguments to
actions or handle return values differently. Note that this hook can trigger more than once for the same request if
there are nested routes. (Passed a callback leading to the next hook, the current controller object, the action
callback and a flag indicating if this action is an endpoint)
.SS before_render
.IX Subsection "before_render"
Emitted before content is generated by the renderer. Note that this hook can trigger out of order due to its dynamic
nature, and with embedded applications will only work for the application that is rendering.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(before_render => sub ($c, $args) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Mostly used for pre-processing arguments passed to the renderer. (Passed the current controller object and the render
arguments)
.SS after_render
.IX Subsection "after_render"
Emitted after content has been generated by the renderer that will be assigned to the response. Note that this hook can
trigger out of order due to its dynamic nature, and with embedded applications will only work for the application that
is rendering.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(after_render => sub ($c, $output, $format) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Mostly used for post-processing dynamically generated content. (Passed the current controller object, a reference to
the content and the format)
.SS after_dispatch
.IX Subsection "after_dispatch"
Emitted in reverse order after a response has been generated. Note that this hook can trigger out of order due to its
dynamic nature, and with embedded applications will only work for the application that is generating the response.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $app\->hook(after_dispatch => sub ($c) {...});
.Ve
.PP
Useful for rewriting outgoing responses and other post-processing tasks. (Passed the current controller object)

rotating passphrases, just add new ones to the front and remove old ones from the back.
