To use this module, pass the string C<'On::Continuity'> to the C statement that loads your Squatting app. =head2 The Special Powers of Continuity L has 2 highly unusual (but useful) capabilities. =over 4 =item 1. It can hold many simultaneous HTTP connections open. =item 2. It can "pause" execution until the next request comes in. =back The easiest way to explain this is by example. =head2 Becoming RESTless Consider this controller which has an infinite loop in it. C( Count => [ '/@count' ], get => sub { my ($self) = @_; my $cr = $self->cr; my $i = 1; while (1) { $cr->print($i++); $cr->next; } }, queue => { get => 'name_of_queue' } ) Here, the code is dropping down to the Continuity level. The C<$cr> variable contains a L object, and with that in hand, we can try something as audacious as an infinite loop. However, this while loop does not spin out of control and eat up all your CPU. The C<$cr-Enext> statement will pause execution of the current coroutine, and it will wait until the next HTTP request to come in. Thus, you can hit reload multiple times and watch C<$i> increment each time. However, not just any HTTP request will wake this coroutine up. To make C<$cr-Enext> stop blocking, a request with the following properties will have to come in. =over 4 =item It has to have the same session_id. =item It has to be for the same controller. =item It has to be a GET request. =back The key is this line: queue => { get => 'name_of_queue' } When you're squatting on Continuity, you're allowed to define your controllers with a C attribute. It should contain a hashref where the keys are HTTP methods (in lower case) and the values are unique strings that will be used internally by Continuity to differentiate one queue of requests from another. Every method mentioned in C will be given its own coroutine to run in. =head2 Pausing for Other Events TO BE CONTINUED... For a sneak peak, take a look at the Chat application in the F directory. =head1 API =head2 Continuity meets MVC (or just VC, actually) =head3 App->continue(%options) This method starts a Continuity-based web server. The %options are passed straight through to Continuity, and they let you specify things like what port to run the server on. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =cut # Local Variables: *** # mode: cperl *** # indent-tabs-mode: nil *** # cperl-close-paren-offset: -2 *** # cperl-continued-statement-offset: 2 *** # cperl-indent-level: 2 *** # cperl-indent-parens-as-block: t *** # cperl-tab-always-indent: nil *** # End: *** # vim:tabstop=8 softtabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 shiftround expandtab
