DESCRIPTION

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend implements the following attributes.

watch

  my $watch = $backend->watch;
  $backend  = $backend->watch(['/home/sri/my_app']);

Files and directories to watch for changes, defaults to the application script as well as the "lib" and "templates" directories in the current working directory.

watch_timeout

  my $timeout = $backend->watch_timeout;
  $backend    = $backend->watch_timeout(10);

Maximum amount of time in seconds a backend may block when waiting for files to change, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MORBO_TIMEOUT" environment variable or 1.

METHODS

Mojo::Server::Morbo::Backend inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

modified_files

  my $files = $backend->modified_files;

Check if files from "watch" have been modified since the last check and return an array reference with the results. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

  # All files that have been modified
  say for @{$backend->modified_files};
