RunApp - A generic module to run web-applications
use RunApp '-chdir'; use RunApp; use RunApp::Apache; my $cmd = shift || 'development'; my $config = { var => 'value', app_apache => { var_for_apache => 'value'} }; RunApp->new (app_apache => RunApp::Apache->new (root => catfile (cwd, $_), httpd => '/path/to/httpd'), my_daemon => RunApp::Control::AppControl->new (binary => '/path/to/daemon', args => ['--daemon'], pidfile => '/path/to/daemon.pid', ) )->$cmd ($config);
RunApp streamlines the process for configuring applications that requires one or more web servers and/or other daemons, during development or deployment.
RunApp
It builds the config files required by the services from the $config hash, such as apache's httpd.conf.
$config
use RunApp '-chdir'; use RunApp qw(-chdir ..);
This will cause the your script to chdir to the base directory. If it's a symbolic link it will be resolved and you will be in the directory of where the original script is. The lib directory will be added into @INC, and you can use the modules in that path.
chdir
lib
@INC
It also takes an optional relative path if want the script to chdir to somewhere else.
This makes it possible for symlinking the your runapp script into system's rc.d startup directory.
@services is actually an hash, with keys being the name of the service, and values being RunApp::Control objects. Use an array instead of a hash here to retain the order of dispatching.
@services
RunApp::Control
The names are used to pick config from the hash, which will be flatten into top level of the config hash, when running build for the each service.
build
Runs build and start, and then waits for SIGINT to <stop> the servers.
start
All other methods are dispatched to the RunApp::Control objects in the order called in CONSTRUCTOR. Note that this is done with RunApp::Control dispatching to the dispatch method.
dispatch
RunApp::Apache, RunApp::Control::AppControl, App::Control
