NAME

       Dancer::Exception::Base - the base class of all Dancer exceptions

DESCRIPTION

       Dancer::Exception::Base is the base class of all Dancer exception. All core exceptions, and all custom exception registered using
       "Dancer::Exception::register_exception" inherits of "Dancer::Exception::Base".

METHODS

   throw
       Throws an exception. It's what "raise" (from Dancer::Exception) uses. Any arguments is set as raising parameters. You should not use this
       method directly, but instead, use "raise" from Dancer::Exception.

       Warning, if you want to rethrow an exception, use "rethrow".

   rethrow
       Re-throw the exception, without touching its parameters. Useful if you've caught and exception but don't want to handle it, and want to
       rethrow it.

	 try { ... }
	 catch {
	   my ($e) = @_;
	   $e->does('InvalidLogin')
	     or $e->rethrow;
	   ...
	 };

   does
       Given an exception type, returns true if the exception is of the same type.

	 try { raise InvalidLogin => 'foo'; }
	 catch {
	   my ($e) = @_;
	   $e->does('InvalidLogin') # true
	   ...
	 };

       It can receive more than one type, useful for composed exception, or checking multiple types at once. "does" performs a logical OR between
       them:

	 try { raise InvalidPassword => 'foo'; }
	 catch {
	   my ($e) = @_;
	   $e->does('InvalidLogin', 'InvalidPassword') # true
	   ...
	 };

   get_composition
       Returns the composed types of an exception. As every exception inherits of Dancer::Exception::Base, the returned list contains at least
       'Base', and the exception class name.

       Warning, the result is a list, so you should call this method in list context.

	 try { raise InvalidPassword => 'foo'; }
	 catch {
	   my ($e) = @_;
	   my @list = $e->get_composition()
	   # @list contains ( 'InvalidPassword', 'Base', ... )
	 };

   message
       Computes and returns the message associated to the exception. It'll apply the parameters that were set at throw time to the message pattern
       of the exception.

STRINGIFICATION

   string overloading
       All Dancer exceptions properly stringify. When evaluated to a string, they return their message, concatenated with their stack trace (see
       below).

   cmp overloading
       The "cmp" operator is also overloaded, thus all the string operations can be done on Dancer's exceptions, as they will all be based on the
       overloaded "cmp" operator. Dancer exceptions wil be compared without their stacktraces.

STACKTRACE

       Similarly to Carp, Dancer exceptions stringification appends a string stacktrace to the exception message.

       The stacktrace can be a short one, or a long one. Actually the implementation internally uses Carp.

       To enable long stack trace (for debugging purpose), you can use the global variable "Dancer::Exception::Verbose" (see below).

       The short and long stacktrace snippets are stored within "$self-"{_shortmess}> and "$self-"{_longmess}>. Don't touch them or rely on them,
       they are internals, and will change soon.

GLOBAL VARIABLE

   $Dancer::Exception::Verbose
       When set to 1, exceptions will stringify with a long stack trace. This variable is similar to $Carp::Verbose. I recommend you use it like
       that:

	 local $Dancer::Exception::Verbose;
	 $Dancer::Exception::Verbose = 1;

       All the Carp global variables can also be used to alter the stacktrace generation.
