Dancer2::Plugin::Ajax - a plugin for adding Ajax route handlers

       Dancer Core Developers

       By default the plugin will use a content-type of 'text/xml', but this can be overridden with  the  plugin
       setting "content_type".

       Here is an example to use JSON:

         plugins:
           Ajax:
             content_type: 'application/json'

       The "ajax" keyword which is exported by this plugin allows you to define a route handler optimized for
       Ajax queries.

       The route handler code will be compiled to behave like the following:

       •   Pass if the request header X-Requested-With doesn't equal XMLHttpRequest

       •   Disable the layout

       •   The  action  built  matches  POST  /  GET  requests by default. This can be extended by passing it an
           ArrayRef of allowed HTTP methods.

       The route handler gets the Dancer $self object passed in, just like any other Dancer2 route handler.  You
       can use this to inspect the request data.

           ajax '/check_for_update' => sub {
               my $self = shift;

               my $method = $self->app->request->method;
               # ...
           }
