NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::RunAfterRequest - run code after the response has been sent.

SYNOPSIS

#### In MyApp.pm
use Catalyst qw(RunAfterRequest);

#### In your controller
sub my_action : Local {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

    # do your normal processing...

    # add code that runs after response has been sent to client
    $c->run_after_request(    #
        sub { $self->do_something_slow(); },
        sub { $self->do_something_else_as_well(); }
    );

    # continue handling the request
}


#### Or in your Model:

package MyApp::Model::Foo;

use Moose;
extends 'Catalyst::Model';
with 'Catalyst::Model::Role::RunAfterRequest';

sub some_method {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->_run_after_request(
        sub { $self->do_something_slow(); },
        sub { $self->do_something_else_as_well(); }
    );
}

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes you want to run something after you've sent the reponse back to the client. For example you might want to send a tweet to Twitter, or do some logging, or something that will take a long time and would delay the response.

This module provides a conveniant way to do that by simply calling run_after_request and adding a closure to it.

METHODS

run_after_request

$c->run_after_request(            # '_run_after_request' in model
    sub {
        # create preview of uploaded file and store to remote server
        # etc, etc
    },
    sub {
        # another closure...
    }
);

Takes one or more anonymous subs and adds them to a list to be run after the response has been sent back to the client.

The method name has an underscore at the start in the model to indicate that it is a private method. Really you should only be calling this method from within the model and not from other code.
