NAME
Dancer::Plugin::PageHistory - store recent page history for user into
session
VERSION
Version 0.102
SYNOPSIS
get '/product/:sku/:name' => sub {
add_to_history(
type => 'product',
title => param('name'),
attributes => { sku => param('sku') }
);
};
hook 'before_template_render' => sub {
my $tokens = shift;
$tokens->{previous_page} = history->previous_page->uri;
};
DESCRIPTION
The "add_to_history" keyword which is exported by this plugin allows you
to add interesting items to the history lists which are returned using
the "history" keyword.
KEYWORDS
add_to_history
Adds a page via "add" in Dancer::Plugin::PageHistory::PageSet. Both of
path and query are optional arguments which will be set automatically
from the current request if they are not supplied.
history
Returns the current Dancer::Plugin::PageHistory::PageSet object from the
user's session.
SUPPORTED SESSION ENGINES
CHI, Cookie, DBIC, JSON, Memcached, Memcached::Fast, MongoDB, PSGI,
Simple, Storable, YAML
CAVEATS
Dancer::Session::Cookie and Dancer::Session::PSGI either don't handle
destroy at all or else do it wrong so I suggest you avoid those modules
if you want things like logout to work.
See "TODO".
CONFIGURATION
No configuration is necessarily required.
If you wish to have arguments passed to "new" in
Dancer::Plugin::PageHistory::PageSet these can be added to your
configuration along with configuration for the plugin itself, e.g.:
plugins:
PageHistory:
add_all_pages: 1
ingore_ajax: 1
history_name: someothername
PageSet:
default_type: all
fallback_page:
path: "/"
max_items: 20
methods:
- default
- product
- navigation
Configuration options for the plugin itself:
* add_all_pages
Defaults to 0. Set to 1 to have all pages added to the list
"default_type" in Dancer::Plugin::PageHistory::PageSet in the
"before" hook.
* ignore_ajax
If "add_all_pages" is true this controls whether ajax requests are
added to the list "default_type" in
Dancer::Plugin::PageHistory::PageSet in the "before" hook.
Defaults to 0. Set to 1 to have ajax requests ignored.
* history_name
This setting can be used to change the name of the key used to store
the history object in the session from the default "page_history" to
something else. This is also the key used for name of the token
containing the history object that is passed to templates and also
the var used to cache the history object during the request
lifetime.
HOOKS
This plugin makes use of the following hooks:
before
Add current page to history. See "add_all_pages" and "ignore_ajax".
before_template_render
Puts history into the token "page_history".
TODO
* Add more tests
* Add support for more session engines
* Create Dancer2 plugin
* investigate "destroy" problems with Dancer::Session::Cookie and
Dancer::Session::PSGI
