NAME CGI::Application::Plugin::RunmodeParseKeyword - Declare runmodes using Parse::Keyword SYNOPSIS package My::CgiApp; use base 'CGI::Application'; use CGI::Application::Plugin::RunmodeParseKeyword; startmode hello { "Hello!" } runmode world($name) { return $self->hello . ', ' . $name || "World!"; } errormode oops($c: $exception) { return "Something went wrong at " . $c->get_current_runmode . ". Exception: $exception"; } DESCRIPTION This module allows you to declare run modes with a simple keyword. It provides method signatures similar to Method::Signatures::Simple. It respects inheritance: run modes defined in the superclass are also available in the subclass. Beyond automatically registering the run mode, and providing $self, it also optionally pulls named parameters from $self->query->param or $self->param. * Basic example runmode foo { $self->bar } This declares the run mode "foo". Notice how $self is ready for use. * Rename invocant runmode bar ($c:) { $c->baz } Same as above, only use $c instead of $self. use CGI::Application::Plugin::RunmodeParseKeyword invocant => '$c'; runmode baz { $c->quux } Same as above, but every runmode gets $c by default. You can still say runmode ($self:) to rename the invocant. * With a parameter list runmode baz ( $id, $name ) { return $self->wibble("I received $id and $name from a form submission or a method invocation."); } Here, we specify that the method expects two parameters, $id and $name. Values can be supplied through a method call (e.g. $self->baz(1, "me")), or from the cgiapp object (e.g. $self->param( id => 42 )), or from the query object (e.g. from /script?id=42;name=me). * with default values for parameters runmode quux ($page = 1, $rows = 42) { ... } Here we specify default values for the $page and <$rows> parameters. These defaults will be set in the absence of cgiapp params or query params. * Code attributes runmode secret :Auth { ... } Code attributes are supported as well. * Combining with other ways to set run modes This all works: sub setup { my $self = shift; $self->run_modes([ qw/ foo / ]); } sub foo { my $self = shift; return $self->other; } runmode bar { return $self->other; } sub other : Runmode { my $self = shift; return $self->param('other'); } So you can still use the classic way of setting up run modes, and you can still use CGI::Application::Plugin::AutoRunmode, *and* you can mix and match. EXPORT * errormode Define the run mode that serves as $self->error_mode. You can only declare one errormode per package. * startmode Define the run mode that serves as $self->start_mode. You can only declare one startmode per package. * runmode Define run mode. AUTHOR Rhesa Rozendaal, DIAGNOSTICS * error mode redefined (from %s) at %s line %s You tried to install another errormode.
