OpenFra...Response(3)

💖 OpenFra...Response — like, the response era ✨

okay bestie, we're in OpenFra...Response(3) territory, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet, and this one is a whole vibe. it's the abstract response class. let's get into it 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

OpenFrame::Response — an abstract response class. that's it, that's the name, slay 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the little taste test, copy it exactly, no notes:

  use OpenFrame;
  use OpenFrame::Constants;
  my $r = OpenFrame::Response->new();
  $r->message("<html><body>Hello world!</body></html>");
  $r->mimetype('text/html');
  $r->code(ofOK);
  $r->cookies(OpenFrame::Cookies->new());

look at her go. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so OpenFrame::Response represents responses inside OpenFrame. a response is, like, the thing that comes back after someone asks for information — the request gets a response, the way a text gets a reply, iykyk 💌

this module abstracts the way clients can respond with data from OpenFrame. it's giving layer of abstraction, it's giving pluggable, it's giving iconic. periodt.

🎀 METHODS 🎀

new()

this method creates a brand new OpenFrame::Response object. it takes no parameters. zero. nada. it's an independent queen, it needs nothing from you ✨

cookies()

this method gets and sets the OpenFrame::Cookietin that is associated with this response.

  my $cookietin = $r->cookies();
  $r->cookies(OpenFrame::Cookies->new());

yes bestie, Cookietin. that's the spelling in the source, we do not edit the source, we respect the source 💖

message()

this method gets and sets the message string associated with this response. a scalar reference can be stored. it will always be returned as a scalar.

  my $message = $r->message();
  $r->message("<html><body>Hello world!</body></html>");

ok so real talk: you can hand her a scalar ref, but she's gonna hand you back a scalar. that's the deal. no cap.

code()

this method gets and sets the message code associated with this response. the following message codes are exported when you use OpenFrame::Constants: ofOK, ofERROR, ofREDIRECT, ofDECLINE.

  my $code = $r->code();
  $r->code(ofOK);

four codes, four moods: ofOK 💚, ofERROR 💀, ofREDIRECT 🔁, ofDECLINE 🙈

mimetype()

this method gets and sets the MIME type associated with this response.

  my $type = $r->mimetype();
  $r->mimetype('text/html');

tell the world what you are. text/html? gorgeous. be loud about it 🗣️🌈
