Dancer::Engine(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dancer::Engine(3)NAMEDancer::Engine - base class for Dancer engines
SYNOPSIS
my $engine = Dancer::Engine->build( Serializer => 'JSON', $configuration );
DESCRIPTION
Dancer has various engines such Serializer engines, Template engines,
Logger engines and Session handlers engines. This is the base class for
all Dancer engines.
If you're writing an engine of a common type (such as those mentioned
above), you probably want to simply use their base class, which in turn
use Dancer::Engine. For example, Template engines inherit from
Dancer::Template::Abstract and Serializer engines inherit from
Dancer::Serializer::Abstract. Those Abstract base classes inherit from
Dancer::Engine.
If a new type of Dancer engine is created, it is best it inherits from
this class.

type

my $configuration = $engine->config;
