NAME

       Dancer::Plugins - interesting plugins to add to Dancer's capabilities

DESCRIPTION

       Dancer aims to keep the core as small as possible, but there are a growing number of
       useful plugins to add helpful features.

       This document provides a quick summary of some recommended plugins.

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 acces 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 a 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
           Provides easy CRUD (create, read, update, delete) facilities, automatically creating
           routes to display, add, edit and delete data from a database table.

       Dancer::Plugin::WebSocket
           Supports building apps using Web Sockets for bi-directional, full-duplex
           communications over a long-lived socket connection.

       Dancer::Plugin::Memcached
           Cache page responses or individual items of data with memcached for performance.

       Dancer::Plugin::MobileDevice
           Quickly determine whether the client is a mobile browser, in order to offer a
           simplified layout, or otherwise customise features.

       Dancer::Plugin::NYTProf
           Provides dead-simple profiling of your app using Devel::NYTProf - enables profiling
           for each request individually, serves up a list of profiling runs, and generates &
           sends the HTML reports produced by "nytprofhtml".

       Dancer::Plugin::Bcrypt
           Provides simple effective password hashing and validation using Bcrypt.

       Dancer::Plugin::Cache::CHI
           Provides caching for generated pages and/or arbitrary data.  Uses CHI, so is backend-
           agnostic - caching can be done in memory, to files, using Memcache, in a database, or
           any other method for which there is a CHI::Driver module.

       Dancer::Plugin::Thumbnail
           Easy thumbnail generation using GD.

       Dancer::Plugin::Captcha::SecurityImage
           Easy CAPTCHA image generation and validation, using GD.

           Facebook::Graph.
