Jifty::Handler(3)

NAME
Jifty::Handler - Methods related to the finding and returning content

SYNOPSIS
  use Jifty;
  Jifty->new();

  my $handler = Jifty::Handler->new;
  $handler->handle_request( $env );

DESCRIPTION
Jifty::Handler provides methods required to find and return content to the browser. "handle_request", for instance, is the main entry point for HTTP requests.

  new
Create a new Jifty::Handler object. Generally, Jifty.pm does this only once at startup.

  view_handlers
Returns a list of modules implementing view for your Jifty application.

You can override this by specifying:

  framework:
      View:
         Handlers:
            - Jifty::View::Something::Handler
            - Jifty::View::SomethingElse::Handler

  setup_view_handlers
Initialize all of our view handlers.

  view ClassName
Returns the Jifty view handler for "ClassName".

  psgi_app_static
Returns a closure for PSGI application that handles all static content, including plugins.

  psgi_app
Returns a closure for PSGI application.

  handle_request
When your server process (be it Jifty-internal, FastCGI or anything else) wants to handle a request coming in from the outside world, you should call "handle_request".

  cleanup_request
Dispatchers should call this at the end of each request, as a class method. It flushes the session to disk, as well as flushing Jifty::DBI's cache.
