Dancer is a small and nice web framework based on ruby's [sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/). + +Dancer have few dependancies (and it doesn't depends anymore on CGI.pm). The path dispatching is done using rules declared with HTTP methods (get/post/put/delete), and they are mapped to a sub-routine which is returned as the response to the request. Sessions are supported, and two template engines (one of them is Template Toolkit) comes with the Core. Dancer::Template::MicroTemplate is also available on CPAN if you need a light template engine. + +You can easily test it with a simple script + +```perl +#!/usr/bin/env perl +use Dancer; + +get '/' => sub { + return "dancer"; +}; + +get '/:name' => sub { + return params->{name} . " is dancing"; +}; + +dance; +``` + +and execute this script, point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000, and voila. + +Dancer provides also a small helper to write a new application: `dancer -a MyApplication` + +If you create an application with this script, an **app.psgi** file will be created. You can now execute `plackup --port 8080` + +(which comes with [Plack](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Plack) the [Perl Web Server](http://plackperl.org/)) and test if everything works fine: `curl http://localhost:8080`. + +This release remove some components from the core and they are now available as differents CPAN distributions. Two new keyword have also been added, **header** and **prefix**. + +If you want to read more about Dancer: + + * [Dancer's documentation](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Dancer) + * [review by xsawyerx](http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/2010/01/i-gotz-me-a-dancer.html) + * [gugod's review](http://gugod.org/2009/12/dancer.html) + * [sukria's blog](http://www.sukria.net/fr/archives/tag/dancer/) |
