NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::LiteBlog - A minimalist, file-based blog engine for Dancer2.

DESCRIPTION

This Dancer2 plugin provides a lightweight blogging engine. Instead of relying on a database, it utilizes flat files, primarily markdown and YAML, to store and manage content. Through this plugin, Dancer2 applications can seamlessly integrate a blog without the overhead of database management.

SYNOPSIS

First, you need to scaffold Liteblog's assets in your Dancer2 application directory:

$ liteblog-scaffold . 

Then, in your Dancer2 PSGI startup script:

# in your app.psgi 
use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::LiteBlog;
liteblog_init();

VERSION

Version 0.10

METHODS

BUILD

At build time, sets up essential configurations for the plugin and initializes the default routes.

Template::Toolkit is forced (all scaffolded views are designed to be TT views). Similarly, views tags are forced to TT's defaults: '[%' and '%]'.

A before_template hook is registered to populate tokens such as settings read from the liteblog config (liteblog entry in Dancer2's config) or the widgets elements (see Dancer2::Plugin::LiteBlog::Widget).

A default GET / route is defined and handles the landing page of the liteblog site.

liteblog_init

A Liteblog app must call this keyword right after having use'ed Dancer2::Plugin::Liteblog. This allows to declare widget-specific routes (defined in the Widget's classes) once the config is fully read by Dancer2 (which is not the case at BUILD time).

This method also initializes all default tokens that will be passed to template calls.

render_client_error($message)

Immediatly exits from the current route handler and render a 404 page with Liteblog's default templates.
