Apache::MVC(3)

💖 Apache::MVC 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Apache::MVC — she's the Apache front-end to Maypole, and she's that girl. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Apache::MVC — literally just: Apache front-end to Maypole. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

    package BeerDB;
    use Maypole::Application;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, Apache::MVC is a mod_perl platform driver for Maypole. 🧚

your app can inherit from Apache::MVC directly if you're feeling feral, but fr fr the recommended move is to use Maypole::Application instead. trust. 🫶

---

🛠️ INSTALLATION 🛠️

step one, bestie: create a driver module exactly like the one illustrated in Maypole::Application. slay.

step two, put this in your Apache config:

    <Location /beer>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler BeerDB
    </Location>

step three: copy the templates found in templates/factory into the beer/factory directory off the web root. 📁

when the designers finally get back to you with custom templates (they will take forever, it's giving group project energy 😭), those go in beer/custom.

and if you need to override templates on a database-table-by-table basis? put the new template in beer/table. iconic. 👑

this automatically gives you the add, edit, list, view and delete commands — for instance, to see a list of breweries, go to:

    http://your.site/beer/brewery/list

for more information about how the system works and how to extend it, see Maypole. 🌈

---

🎀 Implementation 🎀

this class overrides a whole set of methods in the base Maypole class to provide its functionality. see Maypole for these:

• get_request
• warn
• parse_location
• parse_args
• redirect_request — sets output headers to redirect based on the arguments provided.

accepts either a single argument of the full url to redirect to, or a hash of named parameters:

$r->redirect_request('http://www.example.com/path');

or

$r->redirect_request(protocol=>'https', domain=>'www.example.com',
path=>'/path/file?arguments', status=>'302', url=>'..');

the named parameters are protocol, domain, path, status and url.

only 1 named parameter is required, but other than url, they can be combined as required and current values (from the request) will be used in place of any missing arguments. 🫶 the url argument must be a full url including protocol, and can only be combined with status.

• get_protocol
• send_output
• get_template_root
