package JavaScript::RPC::Server::CGI; use strict; use warnings; use Carp; our $VERSION = '0.2'; =head1 NAME JavaScript::RPC::Server::CGI - Remote procedure calls from JavaScript =head1 SYNOPSIS package MyJSRPC; use Carp; use base qw( JavaScript::RPC::Server::CGI ); sub add { my $self = shift; my @args = @_; unless( @args == 2 and $args[ 0 ] =~ /^\d+$/ and $args[ 1 ] =~ /^\d+$/ ) { croak( 'inputs must be digits only' ); } return $args[ 0 ] + $args[ 1 ]; } sub subtract { my $self = shift; my @args = @_; unless( @args == 2 and $args[ 0 ] =~ /^\d+$/ and $args[ 1 ] =~ /^\d+$/ ) { croak( 'inputs must be digits only' ); } return $args[ 0 ] - $args[ 1 ]; } package main; use strict; my $server = MyJSRPC->new; $server->process; =head1 DESCRIPTION JavaScript::RPC::Server::CGI is a CGI-based server library for use with Brent Ashley's JavaScript Remote Scripting (JSRS) client library. It works asynchronously and uses DHTML to deal with the payload. In order to add your custom meothds, this module should be subclassed. The most current version (as of the release of this module) of the client library as well as a demo application have been included in this distribution. =head1 INSTALLATION To install this module via Module::Build: perl Build.PL ./Build # or `perl Build` ./Build test # or `perl Build test` ./Build install # or `perl Build install` To install this module via ExtUtils::MakeMaker: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install =head1 METHODS =head2 new() Creates a new instance of the module. No further options are available at this time. =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = { env => {} }; bless $self, $class; return $self; } =head2 query() Gets / sets the query object. This has the side effect of extracting the env() data. =cut sub query { my $self = shift; my $query = shift; unless( $query or $self->{ query } ) { $query = $self->get_new_query; } if( $query ) { my $method = $query->param( 'F' ) || undef; my $uid = $query->param( 'U' ) || undef; my $context = $query->param( 'C' ) || undef; my( $param, @params ); my $i = 0; # Extract parameters while( defined( $param = $query->param( "P$i" ) ) ) { $param =~ s/^\[(.*)\]$/$1/s; push @params, $param; $i++; } $self->env( method => $method, uid => $uid, context => $context, params => \@params ); $self->{ query } = $query; } return $self->{ query }; } =head2 get_new_query() This method generates a new query object. It is used internally by the query() method. This method should only be used if you want to supply a query object other than the standard CGI.pm object. However, it must be a CGI.pm compatible object. Here's an example using CGI::Simple. sub get_new_query { require CGI::Simple; my $q = CGI::Simple->new(); return $q; } =cut sub get_new_query { require CGI; my $q = CGI->new(); return $q; } =head2 env() Gets / sets a hash of information related to the currently query. The resulting structure contains four items: =over 4 =item * method - the method called =item * params - an array of parameters for the method =item * uid - the unique id for this query =item * context - the context id =back =cut sub env { my $self = shift; if( @_ ) { if( @_ % 2 == 0 ) { my %env = @_; for( keys %env ) { $self->{ env }->{ $_ } = $env{ $_ }; } } else { return $self->{ env }->{ $_[ 0 ] }; } } else { $self->query; } return %{ $self->{ env } }; } =head2 error_message() Get / sets the error message sent to the client if an error occurred. =cut sub error_message { my $self = shift; my $message = shift; $self->{ error_message } = $message if $message; return $self->{ error_message }; } =head2 process() Processes the current query and either returns the result from the appropriate method, or an error to the client and returns either true or false, respectively, to the caller. An error will occur if the method name is blank, or the method has not been defined. This function takes an optional CGI.pm compatible object as an input. Your subclass' method will be evaled and will either return an error to the caller if it died, or return a valid result payload on success. =cut sub process { my $self = shift; my $query = $self->query; my $method = $self->env( 'method' ); my @params = @{ $self->env( 'params' ) }; print $query->header; return $self->error( 'No function specified' ) unless $method; return $self->error( 'Specified function not implemented' ) unless $self->can( $method ); eval { return $self->result( $self->$method( @params ) ); }; return $self->error( $@ ) if $@; } =head2 error() Returns a valid error payload to the client and false to the caller. It will automatically call error_message() for you. =cut sub error { my $self = shift; my $message = shift; $message =~ s/(.+) at (.+?)\n*$/$1/; my $msg_esc = _js_escape( $message ); my %env = $self->env; $self->error_message( $message ); carp( $message ); print <<"EO_ERROR";
$message EO_ERROR return 0; } =head2 result() Returns a valid result payload to the client and true to the caller. =cut sub result { my $self = shift; my $message = shift; my %env = $self->env; print <<"EO_RESULT"; jsrsPayload:
