Mojo::Asset::File(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Mojo::Asset::File(3pm)

NAME

       Mojo::Asset::File - File storage for HTTP 1.1 content

SYNOPSIS

	 use Mojo::Asset::File;

	 # Temporary file
	 my $file = Mojo::Asset::File->new;
	 $file->add_chunk('foo bar baz');
	 say 'File contains "bar"' if $file->contains('bar') >= 0;
	 say $file->slurp;

	 # Existing file
	 my $file = Mojo::Asset::File->new(path => '/home/sri/foo.txt');
	 $file->move_to('/yada.txt');
	 say $file->slurp;

DESCRIPTION

       Mojo::Asset::File is a file storage backend for HTTP 1.1 content.

ATTRIBUTES

       Mojo::Asset::File inherits all attributes from Mojo::Asset and implements the following new ones.

   "cleanup"
	 my $cleanup = $file->cleanup;
	 $file	     = $file->cleanup(1);

       Delete file automatically once it's not used anymore.

   "handle"
	 my $handle = $file->handle;
	 $file	    = $file->handle(IO::File->new);

       File handle, created on demand.

   "path"
	 my $path = $file->path;
	 $file	  = $file->path('/home/sri/foo.txt');

       File path used to create "handle", can also be automatically generated if necessary.

   "tmpdir"
	 my $tmpdir = $file->tmpdir;
	 $file	    = $file->tmpdir('/tmp');

       Temporary directory used to generate "path", defaults to the value of the "MOJO_TMPDIR" environment variable or auto detection.

METHODS

       Mojo::Asset::File inherits all methods from Mojo::Asset and implements the following new ones.

   "add_chunk"
	 $file = $file->add_chunk('foo bar baz');

       Add chunk of data.

   "contains"
	 my $position = $file->contains('bar');

       Check if asset contains a specific string.

   "get_chunk"
	 my $chunk = $file->get_chunk($start);

       Get chunk of data starting from a specific position.

   "is_file"
	 my $true = $file->is_file;

       True.

   "move_to"
	 $file = $file->move_to('/home/sri/bar.txt');

       Move asset data into a specific file and disable "cleanup".

   "size"
	 my $size = $file->size;

       Size of asset data in bytes.

   "slurp"
	 my $string = $file->slurp;

       Read all asset data at once.
