.SH "NAME"
Mojolicious::Lite \- Micro real\-time web framework
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&  # Automatically enables "strict", "warnings", "utf8" and Perl 5.16 features
\&  use Mojolicious::Lite \-signatures;
\&
\&  # Route with placeholder
\&  get \*(Aq/:foo\*(Aq => sub ($c) {
\&    my $foo = $c\->param(\*(Aqfoo\*(Aq);
\&    $c\->render(text => "Hello from $foo.");
\&  };
\&
\&  # Start the Mojolicious command system
\&  app\->start;
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Mojolicious::Lite is a tiny domain specific language built around Mojolicious, made up of only about a dozen Perl
functions.
.PP
On Perl 5.20+ you can also use a \f(CW\*(C`\-signatures\*(C'\fR flag to enable support for subroutine
signatures.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Mojolicious::Lite \-signatures;
\&
\&  get \*(Aq/:foo\*(Aq => sub ($c) {
\&    my $foo = $c\->param(\*(Aqfoo\*(Aq);
\&    $c\->render(text => "Hello from $foo.");
\&  };
\&
\&  app\->start;
.Ve
.PP
See Mojolicious::Guides::Tutorial for more!
.SH "GROWING"
.IX Header "GROWING"
While Mojolicious::Guides::Growing will give you a detailed introduction to growing a Mojolicious::Lite prototype
into a well-structured Mojolicious application, here we have collected a few snippets that illustrate very well just
how similar both of them are.
.SS "Routes"
.IX Subsection "Routes"
The functions \*(L"get\*(R", \*(L"post\*(R" and friends all have equivalent methods.
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  # Mojolicious::Lite
\&  get \*(Aq/foo\*(Aq => sub ($c) {
\&    $c\->render(text => \*(AqHello World!\*(Aq);
\&  };
\&
\&  # Mojolicious
\&  sub startup ($self) {
\&  
\&    my $routes = $self\->routes;
\&    $routes\->get(\*(Aq/foo\*(Aq => sub ($c) {
\&      $c\->render(text => \*(AqHello World!\*(Aq);
\&    });
\&  }
.Ve
.SS "Application"
.IX Subsection "Application"
The application object you can access with the function \*(L"app\*(R" is the first argument passed to the \f(CW\*(C`startup\*(C'\fR
method.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  # Mojolicious::Lite
\&  app\->max_request_size(16777216);
\&
\&  # Mojolicious
\&  sub startup ($self) {
\&    $self\->max_request_size(16777216);
\&  }
.Ve
.SS "Plugins"
.IX Subsection "Plugins"
Instead of the \*(L"plugin\*(R" function you just use the method \*(L"plugin\*(R" in Mojolicious.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  # Mojolicious::Lite
\&  plugin \*(AqConfig\*(Aq;
\&
\&  # Mojolicious
\&  sub startup ($self) {
\&    $self\->plugin(\*(AqConfig\*(Aq);
\&  }
.Ve
.SS "Helpers"
.IX Subsection "Helpers"
Similar to plugins, instead of the \*(L"helper\*(R" function you just use the method \*(L"helper\*(R" in Mojolicious.
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  # Mojolicious::Lite
\&  helper two => sub ($c) {
\&    return 1 + 1;
\&  };
\&
\&  # Mojolicious
\&  sub startup ($self) {
\&    $self\->helper(two => sub ($c) {
\&      return 1 + 1;
\&    });
\&  }
.Ve
.SS "Under"
.IX Subsection "Under"
Instead of sequential function calls, we can use methods to build a tree with nested routes, that much better
illustrates how routes work internally.
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  # Mojolicious::Lite
\&  under \*(Aq/foo\*(Aq;
\&  get \*(Aq/bar\*(Aq => sub ($c) {...};
\&
\&  # Mojolicious
\&  sub startup ($self) {
\&
\&    my $routes = $self\->routes;
\&    my $foo = $routes\->under(\*(Aq/foo\*(Aq);
\&    $foo\->get(\*(Aq/bar\*(Aq => sub ($c) {...});
\&  }
.Ve
.SH "FUNCTIONS"
