Dancer...::YAML(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Dancer...::YAML(3pm) — this is the manual page for Dancer::Serializer::YAML, aka the serializer that handles all your YAML data. that's the whole job. that's the vibe. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.3522 — locked in, no cap 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ngl the original page has literally nothing here. empty. vacant. a blank canvas, a moment of silence, the void aesthetic. just know that the real tea is all down in DESCRIPTION, so keep scrolling babe 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically? this class is the lil go-between — the interface — sitting between Dancer's serializer engine abstraction layer and the YAML module (or YAML::XS, we'll get there).

to actually use this engine, you flip the template setting like so:

serializer: YAML

you can do that in your config.yml file, or straight up in your app code using the set keyword. and plot twist — this serializer also gets used when the serializer is set to mutable and the correct Accept headers show up. so it's lowkey the main character in that situation too. 🫶

by default, the module YAML is the one doing the serialize/deserialize thing for your data and for your application configuration files. but you can switch that up via the configuration:

engines:
    YAML:
        module: YAML::XS

⚠️ okay important tea: if you want all configuration files to be read using YAML::XS, that configuration has to be set via application code:

config->{engines}{YAML}{module} = 'YAML::XS';

don't skip that step, bestie, or the config files will not get the memo 😭
