NAME
   Dancer::Plugin::LDAP - LDAP plugin for Dancer micro framework

VERSION
   Version 0.0040

SYNOPSIS
       use Dancer;
       use Dancer::Plugin::LDAP;

       # Calling the ldap keyword returns you a LDAP handle
       $ldap = ldap;

       # Use convenience methods for retrieving, updating and deleting LDAP entries
       $account = ldap->quick_select({dn => '[email protected],dc=linuxia,dc=de'});

       ldap->quick_update('[email protected],dc=linuxia,dc=de', {l => 'Vienna'});

       ldap->quick_delete('[email protected],dc=linuxia,dc=de');

DESCRIPTION
   Provides an easy way to obtain a connected LDAP handle by simply calling
   the ldap keyword within your Dancer application.

   Returns a Dancer::Plugin::LDAP::Handle object, which is a subclass of a
   Net::LDAP handle object, so it does everything you'd expect to do with
   Net::LDAP, but also adds a few convenience methods. See the
   documentation for Dancer::Plugin::LDAP::Handle for full details of
   those.

   This plugin is compatible to Dancer 1 and Dancer 2.

 TEXT SEARCHES
   Need to run a text search across your LDAP directory? This plugin
   provides a quick way to do that:

       for (qw/uid sn givenName c l/) {
           $search{$_} = [substr => $args{search}];
       }

       @entries = ldap->quick_select({-or => \%search});

 UTF-8
   Attribute values returned by the Dancer::Plugin::LDAP::Handle method are
   automatically converted to UTF-8 strings.

CONFIGURATION
