VERSION
version 1.3513

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 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
    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.

Dancer::Plugin::Facebook
    Easily work with Facebook's Graph API from your Perl Dancer app. Uses Facebook::Graph.

Dancer::Plugin::Redis
    Easy Redis database connections, based upon Dancer::Plugin::Database.

Dancer::Plugin::XML::RSS
