NAME
Dancer::Plugin::NYTProf - easy Devel::NYTProf profiling for Dancer apps

SYNOPSIS
package MyApp;
use Dancer ':syntax';

# enables profiling and "/nytprof"
use Dancer::Plugin::NYTProf;

Or, if you want to enable it only under development environment (as you
should!), you can do something like:

package MyApp;
use Dancer ':syntax';

# enables profiling and "/nytprof"
if (setting('environment') eq 'development') {
eval 'use Dancer::Plugin::NYTProf';
}

DESCRIPTION
A plugin to provide easy profiling for Dancer applications, using the
venerable Devel::NYTProf.

By simply loading this plugin, you'll have the detailed, helpful
profiling provided by Devel::NYTProf.

Each individual request to your app is profiled. Going to the URL
`/nytprof' in your app will present a list of profiles; selecting one
will invoke `nytprofhtml' to generate the HTML reports (unless they
already exist), then serve them up.

WARNING This is an early version of this code which is still in
development. In general this isn't a plugin I'd advise to use in a
production environment anyway, but in particular, it uses `system' to
execute `nytprofhtml', and I need to very carefully re-examine the code
to make sure that user input cannot be used to nefarious effect. You are
recommended to only use this in your development environment.

CONFIGURATION
The plugin will work by default without any configuration required - it
will default to writing profiling data into a dir named `profdir' within
your Dancer application's `appdir', present profiling output at
`/nytprof' (not yet configurable), and profile all requests.

Below is an example of the options you can configure:

plugins:
NYTProf:
enabled: 1
profdir: '/tmp/profiledata'
nytprofhtml_path: '/usr/local/bin/nytprofhtml'
show_durations: 1

profdir
Where to store profiling data. Defaults to: `$appdir/nytprof'

nytprofhtml_path
Path to the `nytprofhtml' script that comes with Devel::NYTProf.
Defaults to the first one we can find in your PATH environment. You
should only need to change this in very specific environments, where
`nytprofhtml' can't be found by this plugin.

enabled
Profiling comes with a penalty, and even in development environments you
might want to enable/disable it via configuration file. This lets you do
so. You can toggle this plugin by setting the `enabled' option to 0 or
1. It is, of course, enabled by default.

More configuration (such as the URL at which output is produced, and
options to control which requests get profiled) will be added in a
future version. (If there's something you'd like to see soon, do contact
me and let me know - it'll likely get done a lot quicker then!)

show_durations
When listing profile runs, show the duration of each run, extracted from
the profiling data. If you have a lot of profiled runs, this might get
slow, so this option is provided if you don't need the profile durations
displayed when listing profiles, preferring a faster list. Defaults to
1.
