Frontier::Daemon(3)

💖 NAME 💖

This is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Frontier::Daemon(3) — receive Frontier XML RPC requests. That's the name, that's the errand, and yes bestie, the whole vibe is right there in the title. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the setup is literally use Frontier::Daemon;, and then you spin up the daemon like this, exactly:

        use Frontier::Daemon;

        Frontier::Daemon->new(methods => {
            'rpcName' => \&sub_name,
               ...
            });

That's the whole synopsis, no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Frontier::Daemon is an HTTP/1.1 server that listens on a socket for incoming requests containing Frontier XML RPC2 method calls. That's its whole main-character job. 💖

And the inheritance tea? It's a subclass of HTTP::Daemon, which is a subclass of IO::Socket::INET. Lowkey iconic lineage. 👑

Frontier::Daemon takes a "methods" parameter — a hash that maps an incoming RPC method name to reference to a subroutine. So you're handing it method names and the sub refs they should hit, iykyk. 🌸

It also takes a "use_objects" parameter. If you set that to a non-zero value, it will convert incoming <int>, <i4>, <float>, and <string> values to objects instead of scalars. See int(), float(), and string() in Frontier::RPC2 for more details. Obsessed with that object glow-up? Same. ✨
