Mojo::S...d::Poll(3)

💅 Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll(3) 💅

okay bestie so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and it's about Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll — literally the default backend for Morbo, no cap ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll — the Morbo default backend 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready:

use Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll;

my $backend = Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll->new;
if (my $files = $backend->modified_files) {
  ...
}

like, you make a backend, you ask it modified_files, and if it hands you back some files you do stuff. iconic behavior honestly 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll is the default backend for Mojo::Server::Morbo. that's it, that's the whole job, and it slays at it 👑

---

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll inherits all attributes from Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend. everything. the whole inheritance moment, we love a nepo baby 🫶

---

🧚 METHODS 🧚

Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend::Poll inherits all methods from Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend and implements the following new ones. new ones! main character energy fr fr ⭐

💜 modified_files

my $files = $backend->modified_files;

this one checks the file size and mtime to figure out which files have changed. and yes bestie, it is not particularly efficient 😭 but it is very portable — so like, it traded speed for working literally everywhere. a fair trade honestly 💅

# All files that have been modified
say for @{$backend->modified_files};

that example is giving "loop through everything that changed and just say it out loud" 🌈

lowkey important: the manpage itself says this is "not particularly efficient" — that's not me being dramatic, that's the actual documented tradeoff for portability. so don't come for me 🫶
