An Intro to Mojolicious An Intro to Mojolicious William Lindley — [email protected] A Modern Web Framework ● Remember Analogies from your SATs? Mojolicious : Perl :: Rails : Ruby ● But wait, why Perl 5? Isn't Perl 6 out? ● A brief sidebar on Unicode ● An example or two ● Installing Perlbrew and Mojolicious ● You first Lite program and Awayyy you go Perl 5, Perl 6: Different animals ● Perl 6, announced in 2000, is actually a separate language. Most likely to be renamed “Raku” in the near future. ● 2019-06-10 — Perl 5.30 was released. ● Perl 5 continues development stronger than ever Perl: Baked In Unicode ● Supports UTF-8 and other stream types in addition to ASCII ● UTF-8 is self-synchronizing: can find code point boundaries without reading from the beginning of the string. Unicode in Perl ● use utf8; # at start of file tells Perl the source code is in Perl. ● use v5.14; # or higher tells Perl to process strings internally as Unicode logically- wide characters ● Using Mojolicious does both of the above ● open FH, ">:utf8", "file"; opens a file (stream) with Unicode encoding layer ● binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8"); reopens standard output with Unicode encoding Seamless Unicode use v5.14; use utf8; binmode(STDOUT,":utf8"); use Unicode::Collate; my @words=qw(crow cräme cream crême); print join(' ', Unicode::Collate-> new->sort(@words)); → cräme cream crême crow First-Class Characters ● As a Perl one-liner $ perl -e 'use v5.14; use charnames ":full"; binmode(STDOUT,":utf8"); print "\N{SNOWMAN}"' ☃ $ ● More at http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html ● Use them in routes (URLs) in Mojolicious! http://example.com/☃ Mojo: Rapid development ● http://mojolicious.org/ ● Programs using Mojolicious::Lite, the same code with a few added shortcuts, can easily be turned into complete systems (“apps”) ● Built-in: RESTful routes, plugins, command-line interfaces, Perl-ish templates, automated tests, session management, form validation, static file server… Easy to create and deploy ● Auto-detects standalone or PSGI (with Apache or Nginx) ● Servers: Development auto-reloads source; or: – Fast non-blocking server for small to mid-sized applications – Multi-threaded deployment server ● Instant TLS and WebSocket support ● JSON, HTML/XML parser, CSS selector support… One-Liners ● Use the 'ojo' module with Perl command line perl -Mojo -E'say g("drudgereport.com") ->dom("font[size=+7]")->first ->all_text' STRENGTH: HK PROTESTERS DEFY POLICE One-Liners, Part II ● perl -Mojo -E "say g('https://fastapi.metacpan.org/v1/ release/Mojolicious')->json- >{version};" 8.25 Functions for One-Liners ● a Create a Mojolicious::Lite 'app' ● b Turn string into a Mojo::ByteStream object. ● c Turn list into a Mojo::Collection object. ● d, h, o, t, u Perform DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, PUT request ● f Form POST ● g, p Perform GET, POST request with "get" in Mojo::UserAgent and return resulting Mojo::Message::Response object. ● j Encode Perl data structure, or decode JSON with Mojo::JSON. ● r Print using Data::Dumper ● w Websocket ● x Turn HTML/XML input into Mojo::DOM object. Three line web application use Mojolicious::Lite; get '/' => {text => 'Hello World!'}; app->start; ● Then run it with: $ morbo hello.pl Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000. $ curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/ Hello World! Parallel Requests ● Event Loops and Callbacks ● And you thought you needed Node.JS for this? my $callback = sub { print shift->res->body; }; $client->get('http://mojolicious.org' => $callback); $client->get('http://metacpan.org' => $callback); $client->start; Non-blocking, Sequential.

  • LAMP and the REST Architecture Step by Step Analysis of Best Practice
    LAMP and the REST Architecture Step by step analysis of best practice Santiago Gala High Sierra Technology S.L.U. Minimalistic design using a Resource Oriented Architecture What is a Software Platform (Ray Ozzie ) ...a relevant and ubiquitous common service abstraction Creates value by leveraging participants (e- cosystem) Hardware developers (for OS level platforms) Software developers Content developers Purchasers Administrators Users Platform Evolution Early stage: not “good enough” solution differentiation, innovation, value flows Later: modular architecture, commoditiza- tion, cloning no premium, just speed to market and cost driven The platform effect - ossification, followed by cloning - is how Chris- tensen-style modularity comes to exist in the software industry. What begins as a value-laden proprietary platform becomes a replaceable component over time, and the most successful of these components finally define the units of exchange that power commodity networks. ( David Stutz ) Platform Evolution (II) Example: PostScript Adobe Apple LaserWriter Aldus Pagemaker Desktop Publishing Linotype imagesetters NeWS (Display PostScript) OS X standards (XSL-FO -> PDF, Scribus, OOo) Software Architecture ...an abstraction of the runtime elements of a software system during some phase of its oper- ation.

  • Multimedia Applications for Training in Communications
    New technologies for university education PARROT VIRTUAL MACHINE AS A PEDAGOGIC TOOL C. Aperghis-Tramoni, J. Guizol Universite de la Mediterranee For about 20 years now, Perl programming language did develop itself up to the actual release which is 5. Former releases were : Perl 1 : January 1988 Perl 2 : June 1988 Perl 3 : October 1989 Perl 4 : In 992 Perl 5 : Since August 1997 Lets say first some words on how releases are numbered. Three elements have to be considered : Revision. Version. Subversion. It means that, if we consider Perl 5.6.1, Revision is 6, Version is 5 and subversion is 1. Even versions are maintenance one (5.6.x) Odd versions are versions for development (5.7.x) Before reaching 5.6.0, subversions _01 à _49 will have been reserved for debugging. Subversions _50 à _99 are considered as unstable versions. Perl contains a magical variable ($]) that contains the number of the release. This coding uses the composite scheme of numbering in floating point mode. Value is computed as : Revision + Version/1000 + Subversion/10000 Up to now, all these evolutions have never been revolutions, language did remains an interpreted one, only release 5 did propose objects as a new feature. On contrary, the last one, number 6, will bring a radical change in Perl design, it will no more be interpreted but compiled in a byte codes that will be carried out on a virtual machine, the parrot machine.. The simplicity of this machine, the power of its assembly language did decide us to use it as a support for assembly language courses.
