Single-page applications• All "static" assets delivered in single page load

• Page does not do full reload cycle during usage

• May have backend returning JSON in response to user actions

• Client-side Javascript code handles UI updates

Page 4: The Peanut Butter Cup of Web-dev: Plack and single page web apps

…many options

Page 5: The Peanut Butter Cup of Web-dev: Plack and single page web apps

Angular.js• Client-side MVC Javascript framework

• Developed at Google

• "HTML enhanced"

• Great for "single page" web apps

Easy to get started with Angular

Tie this <div> to this chunk of controller code

(which means 'demoValue' is available)

Easy to get started with Angular

Angular template – replaced with value of demoValue

Data binding – changing input changes value of demoValue

Ill-advised live demo time!

So, it's…

But then…

Page 14: The Peanut Butter Cup of Web-dev: Plack and single page web apps

You hit a brick wall.

Page 15: The Peanut Butter Cup of Web-dev: Plack and single page web apps

You need a server.

Javascript tools• express

• node.js

• grunt

• yeoman

• bower

• npm

Wait … I know Perl.

Perl can serve files.

Page 21: The Peanut Butter Cup of Web-dev: Plack and single page web apps

plackfile#!/usr/bin/env perl !use Plack::Runner; !my $app = Plack::App::IndexFile->new({ root => shift })->to_app; my $runner = Plack::Runner->new; $runner->parse_options( '--access-log' => '/dev/null', @ARGV ); $runner->run( $app ); !package Plack::App::IndexFile; use parent 'Plack::App::File'; sub locate_file { my( $self, $env ) = @_; my $path = $env->{PATH_INFO} || ''; ! return $self->SUPER::locate_file( $env ) unless $path && $path =~ m{/$}; ! $env->{PATH_INFO} .= 'index.html'; ! return $self->SUPER::locate_file( $env ); }

Easy to grow that simple server…

into a full Plack-based application.

Prototyping with Plack• Static file serving

• Middleware for session management

• Authentication via middleware

• Prototype your backend API (using OX or Dancer)

• Possible to merge "typical" JS app layout and "typical" Perl module layout without conflicts

Probably not appropriate for production…

…but you can't live on just Reese's either.

It is a fun easy way to started.

Allows you to learn one new thing without having to learn a dozen new things at the same time.
