NAME
   Web::Paste::Simple - simple PSGI-based pastebin-like website

SYNOPSIS
           #!/usr/bin/plackup
           use Web::Paste::Simple;
           Web::Paste::Simple->new(
                   storage    => Path::Class::Dir->new(...),
                   codemirror => "...",
                   template   => Text::Template->new(...),
           )->app;

DESCRIPTION
   Web::Paste::Simple is a lightweight PSGI app for operating a pastebin-like
   website. It provides syntax highlighting via the CodeMirror
   <http://codemirror.net/> Javascript library. It should be fast enough for
   deployment via CGI.

   It does not provide any authentication facilities or similar, instead
   relying on you to use subclassing/roles or Plack middleware to accomplish
   such things.

 Constructor
   `new(%attrs)`
       Standard Moose-style constructor.

       This class is not based on Moose though; instead it uses Moo.

 Attributes
   The following attributes are defined:

   `storage`
       A Path::Class::Dir indicating the directory where pastes should be
       stored. Pastes are kept indefinitely. Each is a single file.

   `codemirror`
       Path to the CodeMirror syntax highlighter as a string. For example, if
       CodeMirror is available at `http://example.com/js/lib/codemirror.js`
       then this string should be `http://example.com/js` with no trailing
       slash.

       This defaults to an address on my server, but for production sites,
       *please* set up your own copy: it only takes a couple of minutes; just
       a matter of unzipping a single archive. I offer no guarantees about
       the continued availability of my copy of CodeMirror.

       Nothing is actually done with this variable, but it's passed to the
       template.

   `template`
       A Text::Template template which will be used for *all* HTML output.
       The following variables are available to the template...

       *   $DATA - the text pasted on the curent page (if any), already HTML
           escaped

       *   $MODE - the currently selected syntax highlighting mode (if any),
           already HTML escaped

       *   @MODES - all configured highlighting modes

       *   $CODEMIRROR - the path to codemirror

       *   $APP - the blessed Web::Paste::Simple object

       *   $REQUEST - a blessed Plack::Request for the current request

       *   $PACKAGE - the string "Web::Paste::Simple"

       *   $VERSION - the Web::Paste::Simple version number

       The default template is minimal, but works.

   `modes`
       The list of CodeMirror highlighting modes to offer to the user.

       Nothing is actually done with this variable, but it's passed to the
       template.

   `default_mode`
       The default highlighting mode.

   `uuid_gen`
       A Data::UUID object used to generate URIs. The default should be fine.

 Methods
   The following methods may be of interest to people subclassing
   Web::Paste::Simple.

   `app`
       Technically this is another attribute, but one that should not be set
       in the constructor. Call this method to retrieve the PSGI coderef.

       This coderef is built by `_build_app` (a Moo lazy builder).

   `dispatch`
       Basic request router/dispatcher. Given a Plack::Request, returns a
       Plack::Response.

   `create_paste`
       Given a Plack::Request corresponding to an HTTP `POST` request, saves
       the paste and returns a Plack::Reponse. The response may be an arror
       message, success message, or (as per the current implementation) a
       redirect to the paste's URI.

   `retrieve_paste`
       Given a Plack::Request and a paste ID, returns a Plack::Response with
       a representation of the paste, or an error message.

   `show_error`
       Given an error string and optionally an HTTP status code, returns a
       Plack::Response.

   `show_template`
       Given a Plack::Request and a hashref of data (possibly including
       `paste` and `mode` keys) returns a Plack::Response with the rendered
       template, and the pasted data plugged into it.

   `make_paste_id`
       Returns a unique ID string for a paste. The current implementation is
       a base64-encoded UUID.
