=head3 base

The base directory of the application, detected using L<FindBin>.

=head3 dev

A simple boolean flag to indicate whether you're running a development instance of the web-app.

It's on by default, and currently turned off if the base directory contains C</live>.  Feel free to set it based on your own logic before calling C<start()>.

I typically use working directories such as C</home/user/www.example.com/dev> and C</home/user/www.example.com/live>.

This flag is useful to disable things like Google Analytics on the dev site.

The application object is available to all templates under the name C<app>.

e.g. C<[% IF app.dev %] ... [% END %]>

=head3 processes

Number of FastCGI process to spawn, 5 by default.

 $app->processes( 10 );

=head3 templates

The directory containing the TT templates, by default it's C<$app-E<gt>base . '/templates'>.

=head3 filename

Filename for the config file, default is C<app.json> and only JSON is currently supported.

=head3 config

The config as a hash-reference.

=head2 Instance Methods

=head3 start

Starts the FastCGI daemon.  Performs basic checks of your environment and dies if there's a problem.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

The app should be a simple Perl script in a folder with the following structure:

 app.pl      # see the synopsis
 app.json    # see below
 app.pid     # generated, to control the process
 app.sock    # generated, to accept incoming FastCGI connections
 logs/
 templates/
     404.tt

The config file is read for each and every request, this makes adding new pages easy, without the need to restart the application.

The config file should be placed in the C<base> directory of your application.

See the C<examples> directory for a sample JSON config file, something like the following...

 {
    "pages" : [
       {
          "path" : "/",
          "template":"index.tt",
          ...
       },
       ...
    ]
    ...
    "send_alerts_from":"The Example App <[e-mail]>",
    "send_404_alerts_to":"[e-mail]",
    ...
 }

The entire config hash is available in all templates via C<[% app.config %]>, there are only a couple of mandatory/reserved attributes.

The mandatory field in the config is C<pages>, an array of pages.

Each C<page> should contain a C<path> (for URL matching) and C<template> to render.

All other fields are completely up to you, to fit your requirements.

When a request is made, a lookup is performed for a page by matching the C<path>, which then results in rendering the associated C<template>.

If no page is found, the template C<404.tt> will be rendered, make sure you have this file ready in the templates directory.

The C<page> object is available in the rendered template, eg, C<[% page.path %]>

It is often useful to have sub-pages and categories, etc.  Simply create a C<pages> attribute in a C<page> object as another array of C<page> objects.

If a sub-page is matched and selected for a request, an extra key for C<parents> is included in the C<page> object as a list of the parent pages, this is useful for building breadcrumb links.
