DESCRIPTION

       Mojolicious::Plugin::RenderFile is a Mojolicious plugin that adds "render_file" helper. It
       does not read file in memory and just streaming it to a client.

HELPERS

   "render_file"
           $self->render_file(filepath => '/tmp/files/file.pdf', 'filename' => 'report.pdf' );

       With this helper you can easily provide files for download. By default "Content-Type"
       header is "application/x-download" and "content_disposition" option value is "attachment".
       Therefore, a browser will ask where to save file. You can provide "format" option to
       change "Content-Type" header.

       Supported Options:

       "filepath"
           Path on the filesystem to the file. You must always pass "filepath" or "data" option

       "data"
           Binary content which will be transferred to browser. You must always pass "filepath"
           or "data" option

       "filename" (optional)
           Browser will use this name for saving the file

       "format" (optional)
           The "Content-Type" header is based on the MIME type mapping of the "format" option
           value.  These mappings can be easily extended or changed with "types" in Mojolicious.

           By default "Content-Type" header is "application/x-download"

       "content_disposition" (optional)
           Tells browser how to present the file.

           "attachment" (default) - is for dowloading

           "inline" - is for showing file inline

       "cleanup" (optional)
           Indicates if the file should be deleted when rendering is complete

       This plugin respects HTTP Range headers.
