PLUGINS

Dancer::Plugin::Database

Provides easy database access via DBI, reading the DB connection details from your app's config file, and taking care of ensuring the connection is still valid and reconnecting if not (useful in persistent environments). Just calling the "database" keyword gives you a connected and working database handle. It also provides some helpful keywords to make inserting/updating data as simple as it should be.

Dancer::Plugin::DBIC

Provides easy access to DBIx::Class database virtualization.

Dancer::Plugin::Auth::RBAC

Dancer Authentication, Security and Role-Based Access Control Framework.

Dancer::Plugin::Email

Provides easy email-sending powered by Email::Send - simply call the "email" keyword. Email sending settings can be taken from your app's config.

Dancer::Plugin::SMS

Send SMS text messages to mobile phones from your Dancer app, using any service supported by SMS::Send.

Dancer::Plugin::Ajax

Provides easy way to add Ajax route handlers.

Dancer::Plugin::REST

Makes writing RESTful web services easy.

Dancer::Plugin::SiteMap

Automatically provides site maps (as an HTML page, or as an XML sitemap ready for Google) based on the routes your app defines.

Dancer::Plugin::Params::Normalization

Provides different ways of normalizing parameter names

Dancer::Plugin::SimpleCRUD

Dancer::Plugin::Bcrypt

Dancer::Plugin::Cache::CHI
