Dancer:...n::Route(3)

💖 Dancer::Continuation::Route — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3 (that's the library-functions girlies, iykyk). The module's full name is Dancer::Continuation::Route and she is, and I cannot stress this enough, an internal girlie. Not for public consumption. She's backstage. She's the stage manager. She makes the show happen and you never clap for her. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Dancer::Continuation::Route — the internal exception class for Route exceptions in Dancer. 🦋

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.3522 💅

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💜 return_value

so a Dancer::Continuation::Route is a continuation exception, which is a very fancy way of saying it gets caught at the route execution level (go peek at Dancer::Route::run if you wanna see where the catching happens, no cap).

and here's the tea: it may store a return_value. 🫶 That return_value gets recovered from the continuation catcher, and then it's stored as the returning content. Like, the exception walks in, drops off a lil gift, and the catcher picks it up and hands it back as the actual content being returned. it's giving delivery service. it's giving middle-manager-with-a-purpose. iconic behavior honestly. ✨

no cap, one vibe check before you go: this is an internal exception class. it's plumbing. it's not your API. don't @ her, she's working. 🙈
