Mojolicious Tutorial

Introduction to Mojolicious Perl Web Framework

An introduction to web development using Mojolicious, Perl's flagship framework. Learn the basics of installing Mojolicious and creating web applications with Mojollicious. 

use Mojolicious::Lite;

get '/' => {text =>'Hello World!'};

app->start;

It works on Windows, Linux and any environment. For those who think "I didn't like CGI", now there is "Mojolicious".

1. Features of Mojolicious

I think there is such a question, "Is Mojolicious only a small website?" In fact, Mojolicious can start from a small website and grow steadily.

Mojolicious

    1. Creating a website easily and quickly
    2. Provides a set of functions required for website creation
    3. Supports large-scale web application development

It has the feature.

Mojolicious provides "a set of features needed to create a website".

    • Template, parameter acquisition, form processing, URL creation
    • Sessions, cookies, WebSockets, asynchronous I / O, authentication
    • SSL, JSON, web server

You can write HTML quickly using the "template function". "Parameters" are also easy to get, and "Sessions" are also supported by default. Since it supports "asynchronous I / O", it can handle even if the load becomes high after the service starts.

Is there a web service you want to create? If you want to create efficient and maintainable web apps, Mojolicious is for you.

2. Introduction to Mojolicious

Let's start by installing Mojolicious. After that, I will actually run Mojolicious.

2.1 Installing Mojolicious

I will explain the procedure to install Mojolicious.

2.2 Let's display "Hello World" in Mojolicious

Let's create the simplest Hello World application with Mojolicious. 

use Mojolicious::Lite;

get '/' => sub {
  my $self = shift;

  $self->render(text =>'Hello World');
};

app->start;

See Smallest Web Application for a description and how to execute it.

In the introduction to Mojolicious, I will write articles on the assumption that I have knowledge of "HTML" and "CSS". If you don't know the minimum "HTML" or "CSS" yet, HTML basics and CSS Basics.

2.3 Publication on the Internet

"I want to publish a website as soon as I create it!"

The easiest way is to publish your application using "Sakura Rental Server Standard". If you want to publish it immediately, please see Publish the app on Sakura Rental Server Standard. If you want to move on without publishing it yet, you can read it later.

The joy of running a site I created on the Internet is exceptional. Please give it a try!
