# App::Nopaste::Service(3pm)

base class for nopaste services

## NAME

App::Nopaste::Service - base class for nopaste services

## VERSION

version 1.013

## SYNOPSIS

```
    package App::Nopaste::Service::Shadowcat;
    use parent 'App::Nopaste::Service';
    sub uri { "http://paste.scsys.co.uk/" }
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"App::Nopaste::Service"` defines a generic interface for uploading to nopaste sites. It provides a default interface to that of the POE Pastebot.

## METHODS

### nopaste

This is the outermost method called by App::Nopaste and other clients. You should not override this method, as it will (XXX: eventually) perform canonicalization of arguments (such as `"lang"`) for you.

### run args -\> (OK, message)

This is the outermost method you should override. You'll be passed a hash of arguments. The only arguments you should pay attention to are:

- text

  The body of text to paste.

- desc

  A short (one-line) summary of the paste.

- nick

  The name of the person performing the paste.

- chan

  The IRC channel to which the paste belongs.

- lang

  The programming language of the body of text.

- private

  If false, the paste will be public (default).

### get mech, args

This should "get" the form to paste using the provided WWW::Mechanize object. By default it does just that. See "uri" below.

### uri

If you only need to call `"mech->get(uri)"` then you may define this method to provide the URI of the nopaste service.

### fill\_form mech, args

This should have the WWW::Mechanize fill in the form using the arguments, and submit it.

### return mech, args

This should look at `"WWW::Mechanize->content"` to find the URI to the pasted text.
