Dancer...::Ajax(3pm)

💖 Dancer::Plugin::Ajax — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so before we even start: this is the manpage for Dancer::Plugin::Ajax(3pm), living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section. Say hi. She's a plugin, she's cute, she adds Ajax route handlers, and she's about to make your whole webapp feel like main character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Dancer::Plugin::Ajax — a plugin for adding Ajax route handlers. that's the whole vibe. that's the job. 💅

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 1.3522 — yes bestie, that's the number, we're not rounding it, we're not fixing it, it's iconic as-is. 🔥

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the little ritual you do to summon it:

package MyWebApp;

use Dancer;
use Dancer::Plugin::Ajax;

ajax '/check_for_update' => sub {
    # ... some Ajax code
};

dance;

look at you, using Dancer, pulling in the plugin, dropping an ajax route like it's nothing, and then dance-ing. no cap, that's the whole flow. 🦋

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so the ajax keyword that this plugin exports? it lets you define a route handler that's optimized for Ajax queries. fancier than your average route, fr fr.

your route handler code gets compiled to behave exactly like this, no more, no less:

• it passes if the request header X-Requested-With doesn't equal XMLHttpRequest 👀
• it disables the layout (nope, no layout for you, this route is working solo)
• the action it builds matches POST / GET requests

and that's it. that's the whole personality. lowkey elegant, highkey useful. 👑

---

🌈 CONFIGURATION 🌈

by default the plugin rolls with a content-type of 'text/xml' — but bestie, you can absolutely override that with the plugin setting 'content_type'. your app, your rules. 🫶

here's the example for switching to JSON, and honestly? she ate:

plugins:
  'Ajax':
    content_type: 'application/json'
