Or enhances it.

A run-mode does a few things.  It does some work, and then returns
results.  It's best to partition those jobs.  So youu might have:

sub edit_mode {
my $self = shift;
$self-some_work();
return $self-edit_mode_results();
}

sub final_mode {
my $self = shift;
$self-some_other_work;
return $self-final_mode_results();
}

sub both_mode {
my $self = shift;
$self-some_work();
$self-some_other_work();
return $self-final_mode_results();
}

If you end up defining your work methods well, they'll be MORE
modular (less tied to a given run_mode, and thus more reusable).

Of course, I have a lot of templating work that happens at the end of a
run_mode, so it's pretty much very undesirable for me to erven think of
calling two in a row in one request.

YMMV.

[cgiapp] running modes in sequence

2005-12-12 Thread bradford 
Hi all.
New to CGI::App and am wondering how to do the following in C::A that I
was doing with a switch statement previously.

The old:

SWITCH: for ($query-param('funct')) {
   /save project/ido { saveproject(); editproject(); last; };
}

The above runs sub called 'saveproject' and then when completed runs
'editproject'. How do I run two runmodes in one trip to my application
with C::A?

The new:

sub setup {
   $self-start_mode('menu');
   $self-mode_param('rm');
   $self-run_modes(
 'menu' = 'adminmenu',
 'save' = 'saveproject',
 ???
}

Is there anyway to send a hash, something like:

sub setup {
   $self-start_mode('menu');
   $self-mode_param('rm');
   $self-run_modes(
 'menu' = 'adminmenu',
 'save' = { 'step1' = 'saveproject',
 'step2' = 'editproject'}
}

Of course, I could call 'editproject' from 'saveproject', but that defeats
the modularity of the script.

Thanks, Brad

Hi,

Look into CGI::Application::Plugin::Forward, it does this.

Usually after you finish a runmode that saves something, or deletes
etc, you want to forward onto a function that draws your page, pulls
in your variables and lists etc.

This function is ideal for that.

Jeff.
