# Dancer::Plugin::Ajax(3pm)

a plugin for adding Ajax route handlers

## NAME

Dancer::Plugin::Ajax - a plugin for adding Ajax route handlers

## VERSION

version 1.3521

## SYNOPSIS

```
    package MyWebApp;
    use Dancer;
    use Dancer::Plugin::Ajax;
    ajax '/check_for_update' => sub {
        # ... some Ajax code
    };
    dance;
```

## DESCRIPTION

The `"ajax"` keyword which is exported by this plugin allow you to define a route handler optimized for Ajax queries.

The route handler code will be compiled to behave like the following:

- •

  Pass if the request header X-Requested-With doesn't equal XMLHttpRequest

- •

  Disable the layout

- •

  The action built matches POST / GET requests.

## CONFIGURATION

By default the plugin will use a content-type of 'text/xml' but this can be overwritten with plugin setting 'content\_type'.

Here is example to use JSON:

```
  plugins:
    'Ajax':
      content_type: 'application/json'
```
