NAME
       Dancer::Engine - base class for Dancer engines


SYNOPSIS
           my $engine = Dancer::Engine->build( Serializer => 'JSON', $configuration );


DESCRIPTION
       Dancer has various engines such Serializer engines, Template engines, Logger engines and Session handlers
       engines. This is the base class for all Dancer engines.

       If you're writing an engine of a common type (such as those mentioned above), you probably want to simply
       use their base class, which in turn use Dancer::Engine. For example, Template engines inherit from
       Dancer::Template::Abstract and Serializer engines inherit from Dancer::Serializer::Abstract. Those
       Abstract base classes inherit from Dancer::Engine.

       If a new type of Dancer engine is created, it is best it inherits from this class.


ATTRIBUTES
   name
       The name of the engine, such as JSON, or Simple.

   type
       The type of the engine, such as Serializer, or Session.


METHODS/SUBROUTINES
   config
       Fetches the configuration of the engine.

           my $configuration = $engine->config;

       You can only set the configuration at initialization time, not after.

   build
       Builds and returns the engine.

           my $engine = Dancer::Engine->build( $type => $name, $config );
