Dancer2 - Lightweight yet powerful web application framework
version 0.142000
Dancer2 is the new generation of Dancer, the lightweight web-framework for Perl. Dancer2 is a complete rewrite based on Moo.
Dancer2 can optionally use XS modules for speed, but at its core remains fatpackable (packable by App::FatPacker) so you could easily deploy Dancer2 applications on hosts that do not support custom CPAN modules.
Dancer2 is easy and fun:
use Dancer2; get '/' => sub { "Hello World" }; dance;
This is the main module for the Dancer2 distribution. It contains logic for creating a new Dancer2 application.

We are also on IRC: #dancer on irc.perl.org.
Documentation on Dancer2 is split into several manpages. Below is a complete outline on where to go for help.
Dancer2 Tutorial
If you are new to the Dancer approach, you should start by reading our Dancer2::Tutorial.
Dancer2 Manual
Dancer2::Manual is the reference for Dancer2. Here you will find information on the concepts of Dancer2 application development and a comprehensive reference to the Dancer2 domain specific language.
Dancer2 Cookbook
There are some situations that are common to a lot of users. For example, application deployment. in Dancer2::Cookbook you will find recipes for common tasks, like defining routes, storing data as sessions or cookies, using templates, configuring and logging, writing REST services, and deploying your Dancer2 application using different technologies.
Dancer2 Config
For configuration file details refer to Dancer2::Config. It is a complete list of all configuration options.
Dancer2 Plugins
Refer to Dancer2::Plugins for a partial list of available Dancer2 plugins. Note that although we try to keep this list up to date we expect plugin authors to tell us about new modules.
If it doesn't exist already, import creates a new runner, imports strict and warnings, loads additional libraries, creates a new Dancer2 app (of type Dancer2::Core::App) and exports the DSL symbols to the caller.
import
If any additional argument processing is needed, it will be done at this point.
Import gets called when you use Dancer2. You can specify import options giving you control over the keywords that will be imported into your webapp and other things:
use Dancer2 ( foo => 'bar' ); # sets option foo to bar use Dancer2 '!quux'; # Don't import DSL keyword quux
Returns the current runner. It is of type Dancer2::Core::Runner.
