NAME

DON'T PANIC!

Some parts of the documentation only use the Mojolicious::Lite micro web framework for examples, but that's merely a convenience for the reader. Almost all features are exactly the same for full Mojolicious applications.

TUTORIAL

Mojolicious::Guides::Tutorial

A fast and fun way to get started developing web applications with Mojolicious. The tutorial introduces the Mojolicious::Lite micro web framework, which is only a thin wrapper around the full web framework. The simplified notation introduced in the tutorial is commonly used throughout the guides and is therefore considered a prerequisite, you should definitely take a look!

FULL-STACK

Mojo::Pg

A tiny wrapper around DBD::Pg that makes PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org> a lot of fun to use with Mojolicious. Perform queries blocking and non-blocking, use all SQL features <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql.html> PostgreSQL has to offer, generate CRUD queries from data structures, manage your database schema with migrations and build scalable real-time web applications with the publish/subscribe pattern.

Examples: The minimal chat <https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo-pg/tree/main/examples/chat.pl> application will show you how to scale WebSockets to multiple servers, and the well-structured blog <https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo-pg/tree/main/examples/blog> application how to apply the MVC design pattern in practice.

Minion

A full featured job queue for Mojolicious with support for multiple backends (such as PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org>). Job queues allow you to process time and/or computationally intensive tasks in background processes, outside of the request/response lifecycle. Among those tasks you'll commonly find image resizing, spam filtering, HTTP downloads, building tarballs, warming caches and basically everything else you can imagine that's not super fast.

Examples: The link checker <https://github.com/mojolicious/minion/tree/main/examples/linkcheck> will show you how to integrate background jobs into well-structured Mojolicious applications.
