Plack::...ForceEnv(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Plack::Middleware::ForceEnv — bestie, it forces environment variables into place, and it's literally built for testing 💅

It's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, so you know it's the real deal 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so here's the vibe. In your app.psgi:

# in app.psgi
use Plack::Builder;

builder {
    enable 'ForceEnv' =>
        REMOTE_ADDR => "127.0.0.1",
        REMOTE_USER => "trs";
    $app;
};

And if you're rolling with plackup, it's giving one-liner energy:

# with plackup
plackup -e 'enable ForceEnv => REMOTE_USER => "trs"' app.psgi

See how easy? No cap. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does this icon actually do? ForceEnv modifies the environment that gets passed to your application, by adding the key/value pairs you specify. That's it. That's the whole job. And it ate. 👑

This is primarily useful when you're testing apps under plackup (or something similar) in a development environment. Like, dev-mode main character energy only — it's not out here trying to run your production setup. 🙈
