Description
Dancer::FileUtils includes a few file related utilities related that Dancer uses internally. Developers
may use it instead of writing their own file reading subroutines or using additional modules.
Export
Nothing by default. You can provide a list of subroutines to import.
Name
Dancer::FileUtils - helper providing file utilities
Subroutines/Methods
dirname
use Dancer::FileUtils 'dirname';
my $dir = dirname($path);
Exposes File::Basename's dirname, to allow fetching a directory name from a path. On most OS, returns all
but last level of file path. See File::Basename for details.
open_file
use Dancer::FileUtils 'open_file';
my $fh = open_file('<', $file) or die $message;
Calls open and returns a filehandle. Takes in account the 'charset' setting from Dancer's configuration
to open the file in the proper encoding (or defaults to utf-8 if setting not present).
path
use Dancer::FileUtils 'path';
my $path = path( 'folder', 'folder', 'filename');
Provides comfortable path resolving, internally using File::Spec.
read_file_content
use Dancer::FileUtils 'read_file_content';
my @content = read_file_content($file);
my $content = read_file_content($file);
Returns either the content of a file (whose filename is the input), undef if the file could not be
opened.
In array context it returns each line (as defined by $/) as a separate element; in scalar context returns
the entire contents of the file.
read_glob_content
use Dancer::FileUtils 'read_glob_content';
open my $fh, '<', $file or die "$!\n";
my @content = read_glob_content($fh);
my $content = read_glob_content($fh);
Same as read_file_content, only it accepts a file handle. Returns the content and closesthefilehandle.
set_file_mode
use Dancer::FileUtils 'set_file_mode';
set_file_mode($fh);
Applies charset setting from Dancer's configuration. Defaults to utf-8 if no charset setting.
Synopsis
use Dancer::FileUtils qw/dirname path/;
# for 'path/to/file'
my $dir = dirname($path); # returns 'path/to'
my $path = path($path); # returns '/abs/path/to/file'
use Dancer::FileUtils qw/path read_file_content/;
my $content = read_file_content( path( 'folder', 'folder', 'file' ) );
my @content = read_file_content( path( 'folder', 'folder', 'file' ) );
use Dancer::FileUtils qw/read_glob_content set_file_mode/;
open my $fh, '<', $file or die "$!\n";
set_file_mode($fh);
my @content = read_file_content($fh);
my $content = read_file_content($fh);
