NAME

6       Mojolicious::Lite - Micro real-time web framework
7

SYNOPSIS

9         # Automatically enables "strict", "warnings", "utf8" and Perl 5.10 features
10         use Mojolicious::Lite;
11
12         # Route with placeholder
13         get '/:foo' => sub {
14           my $c   = shift;
15           my $foo = $c->param('foo');
16           $c->render(text => "Hello from $foo.");
17         };
18
19         # Start the Mojolicious command system
20         app->start;
21

DESCRIPTION

23       Mojolicious::Lite is a tiny domain specific language built around
24       Mojolicious, made up of only about a dozen Perl functions.
25
26       On Perl 5.20+ you can also use a "-signatures" flag to enable support
27       for subroutine signatures.
28
29         use Mojolicious::Lite -signatures;
30
31         get '/:foo' => sub ($c) {
32           my $foo = $c->param('foo');
33           $c->render(text => "Hello from $foo.");
34         };
35
36         app->start;

GROWING

41       While Mojolicious::Guides::Growing will give you a detailed
42       introduction to growing a Mojolicious::Lite prototype into a well-
43       structured Mojolicious application, here we have collected a few
44       snippets that illustrate very well just how similar both of them are.
45
46   Routes
47       The functions "get", "post" and friends all have equivalent methods.
48
49         # Mojolicious::Lite
50         get '/foo' => sub {
51           my $c = shift;
52           $c->render(text => 'Hello World!');
53         };
54
55         # Mojolicious
56         sub startup {
57           my $self = shift;
58
59           my $routes = $self->routes;
60           $routes->get('/foo' => sub {
61             my $c = shift;
62             $c->render(text => 'Hello World!');
63           });
64         }
65
66   Application
67       The application object you can access with the function "app" is the
68       first argument passed to the "startup" method.
69
70         # Mojolicious::Lite
71         app->max_request_size(16777216);
72
73         # Mojolicious
74         sub startup {
75           my $self = shift;
76           $self->max_request_size(16777216);
77         }
78
79   Plugins
80       Instead of the "plugin" function you just use the method "plugin" in
81       Mojolicious.
82
83         # Mojolicious::Lite
84         plugin 'Config';
85
86         # Mojolicious
87         sub startup {
88           my $self = shift;
89           $self->plugin('Config');
90         }
91
92   Helpers
93       Similar to plugins, instead of the "helper" function you just use the
94       method "helper" in Mojolicious.
95
96         # Mojolicious::Lite
97         helper two => sub {
98           my $c = shift;
99           return 1 + 1;
100         };
101
102         # Mojolicious
103         sub startup {
104           my $self = shift;
105           $self->helper(two => sub {
106             my $c = shift;
107             return 1 + 1;
108           });
109         }
110
111   Under
112       Instead of sequential function calls, we can use methods to build a
113       tree with nested routes, that much better illustrates how routes work
114       internally.
115
116         # Mojolicious::Lite
117         under '/foo';
118         get '/bar' => sub {...};
119
120         # Mojolicious
121         sub startup {
122           my $self = shift;
123
124           my $routes = $self->routes;
125           my $foo = $routes->under('/foo');
126           $foo->get('/bar' => sub {...});
127         }
128
