    Formats


Formats can be automatically detected from file extensions, they are used to find the right template and generate the correct Content-Type header.

use Mojolicious::Lite;

# /detection
# /detection.html
# /detection.txt
get '/detection' => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->render(template => 'detected');
};

app->start;
__DATA__

@@ detected.html.ep
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head><title>Detected</title></head>
  <body>HTML was detected.</body>
</html>

@@ detected.txt.ep
TXT was detected.

The default format is html, restrictive placeholders can be used to limit possible values.

use Mojolicious::Lite;

# /hello.json
# /hello.txt
get '/hello' => [format => [qw(json txt)]] => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  return $c->render(json => {hello => 'world'})
    if $c->stash('format') eq 'json';
  $c->render(text => 'hello world');
};

app->start;

Or you can just disable format detection.

use Mojolicious::Lite;

# /hello
get '/hello' => [format => 0] => {text => 'No format detection.'};

# Disable detection and allow the following routes selective re-enabling
under [format => 0];

# /foo
get '/foo' => {text => 'No format detection again.'};

# /bar.txt
get '/bar' => [format => 'txt'] => {text => ' Just one format.'};

app->start;
