✨ Dancer2::Core::Route — the manual page, but make it fashion ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the docs for Dancer2::Core::Route, which ships as Dancer2...::Route(3) in the perl manual pages. It's Dancer2's route handler — the lil object that knows what a route is and does the matching for you. No cap.

Version: 2.2.1 🎀

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

These are the things a route carries around with it, like accessories but for code. 💅

  • method — the HTTP method of the route, and it's lowercase bestie, we do not shout. Required. 🚨
  • code — the code reference that gets executed when the route is ran. Required. This is the main character of the whole operation fr.
  • regexp — the regular expression that defines the path of the route. Required. It gets coerced from Dancer2's route patterns, so you don't have to hand-write the regex yourself. slay.
  • prefix — the prefix to prepend to the regexp. Optional, so it's just vibes if you want them. ✨
  • options — a HashRef of conditions on which the matching will depend. Optional. Think of it as the vibe check the route has to pass before it matches. 👑

💖 METHODS 💖

🌸 match

Try to match the route with a given Dancer2::Core::Request object.

It returns the hash of matching data if it's a success — that's the captures and the values of the route against the path of the request — or undef if it's not. 😭 (no match, no data, we move on.)

my $match = $route->match( $request );

🌈 execute

Runs the coderef of the route. That's it, that's the whole thing. Go off. 🔥
