=head1 NAME

Dancer::Plugin::REST - A plugin for writing RESTful apps with Dancer

=head1 VERSION

version 0.12

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin helps you write a RESTful webservice with Dancer.

=head1 SYNOPSYS

    package MyWebService;

    use Dancer;
    use Dancer::Plugin::REST;

    prepare_serializer_for_format;

    get '/user/:id.:format' => sub {
        User->find(params->{id});
    };

    # curl http://mywebservice/user/42.json
    { "id": 42, "name": "John Foo", email: "john.foo@example.com"}

    # curl http://mywebservice/user/42.yml
    --
    id: 42
    name: "John Foo"
    email: "john.foo@example.com"

=head1 KEYWORDS

=head2 prepare_serializer_for_format

When this pragma is used, a before filter is set by the plugin to automatically
change the serializer when a format is detected in the URI.

That means that each route you define with a B<:format> token will trigger a
serializer definition, if the format is known.

This lets you define all the REST actions you like as regular Dancer route
handlers, without explicitly handling the outgoing data format.

=head2 resource

This keyword lets you declare a resource your application will handle.

    resource user =>
        get    => sub { # return user where id = params->{id}   },
        create => sub { # create a new user with params->{user} },
        delete => sub { # delete user where id = params->{id}   },
        update => sub { # update user with params->{user}       };

    # this defines the following routes:
    # GET /user/:id
    # GET /user/:id.:format
    # POST /user
    # POST /user.:format
    # DELETE /user/:id
    # DELETE /user/:id.:format
    # PUT /user/:id
    # PUT /user/:id.:format

=head2 helpers

Some helpers are available. This helper will set an appropriate HTTP status for you.

=head3 status_ok

    status_ok({users => {...}});

Set the HTTP status to 200

=head3 status_created

    status_created({users => {...}});

Set the HTTP status to 201

=head3 status_accepted

    status_accepted({users => {...}});

Set the HTTP status to 202

=head3 status_bad_request

    status_bad_request("user foo can't be found");

Set the HTTP status to 400. This function as for argument a scalar that will be used under the key B<error>.

=head3 status_not_found

    status_not_found("users doesn't exists");

Set the HTTP status to 404. This function as for argument a scalar that will be used under the key B<error>.
