NAME

       Dancer::FileUtils - helper providing file utilities

SYNOPSIS

	   use Dancer::FileUtils qw/dirname path/;

	   # for 'path/to/file'
	   my $dir  = dirname($path); # returns 'path/to'
	   my $path = path($path);    # returns '/abs/path/to/file'

	   use Dancer::FileUtils qw/path read_file_content/;

	   my $content = read_file_content( path( 'folder', 'folder', 'file' ) );
	   my @content = read_file_content( path( 'folder', 'folder', 'file' ) );

	   use Dancer::FileUtils qw/read_glob_content set_file_mode/;

	   open my $fh, '<', $file or die "$!
";
	   set_file_mode($fh);
	   my @content = read_file_content($fh);
	   my $content = read_file_content($fh);

DESCRIPTION

       Dancer::FileUtils includes a few file related utilities related that Dancer uses internally. Developers may use it instead of writing their
       own file reading subroutines or using additional modules.

SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
   dirname
	   use Dancer::FileUtils 'dirname';

	   my $dir = dirname($path);

       Exposes File::Basename's dirname, to allow fetching a directory name from a path. On most OS, returns all but last level of file path. See
       File::Basename for details.

   open_file
	   use Dancer::FileUtils 'open_file';
	   my $fh = open_file('<', $file) or die $message;

       Calls open and returns a filehandle. Takes in account the 'charset' setting from Dancer's configuration to open the file in the proper
       encoding (or defaults to utf-8 if setting not present).

   path
	   use Dancer::FileUtils 'path';

	   my $path = path( 'folder', 'folder', 'filename');

       Provides comfortable path resolving, internally using File::Spec.

   read_file_content
	   use Dancer::FileUtils 'read_file_content';

	   my @content = read_file_content($file);
	   my $content = read_file_content($file);

       Returns either the content of a file (whose filename is the input), undef if the file could not be opened.

       In array context it returns each line (as defined by $/) as a separate element; in scalar context returns the entire contents of the file.

   read_glob_content
	   use Dancer::FileUtils 'read_glob_content';

	   open my $fh, '<', $file or die "$!
";
	   my @content = read_glob_content($fh);
	   my $content = read_glob_content($fh);

       Same as read_file_content, only it accepts a file handle. Returns the content and closes the file handle.

   set_file_mode
	   use Dancer::FileUtils 'set_file_mode';

	   set_file_mode($fh);

       Applies charset setting from Dancer's configuration. Defaults to utf-8 if no charset setting.

EXPORT

       Nothing by default. You can provide a list of subroutines to import.
