And one feature that I like most is that you can name your routes. So, you can change your routes without rewriting a single line of dependent code. Of course this works if you use route names in all of your code. You can use route name everywhere except... javascript. But with L<Mojolicious::Plugin::JSUrlFor> you can use route names really everywhere. This plugin support mounted (see L<Mojolicious::Plugin::Mount> ) apps too. L<Mojolicious::Plugin::JSUrlFor> contains only one helper that adds C<url_for> function to your client side javascript. =head1 HELPERS =head2 C<js_url_for> In templates C<< <%= js_url_for %> >> This helper will add C<url_for> function to your client side javascript. In I<production> mode this helper will cache generated code for javascript I<url_for> function =head1 CONFIG OPTIONS =head2 C<route> Simulate static javascript file. It can be useful if you have RESTful API and want to provide js file with routes. =head1 GENERATORS =head2 C<js_url_for> ./your_app.pl generate js_url_for $relative_file_name This command will create I<$relative_file_name> file with the same content as C<js_url_for> helper creates. Then you should include this file into your layout template with I<script> tag. =head1 METHODS L<Mojolicious::Plugin::JSUrlFor> inherits all methods from L<Mojolicious::Plugin> and implements the following new ones. =head2 C<register> $plugin->register; Register plugin in L<Mojolicious> application. =head1 AUTHOR Viktor Turskyi <koorchik@cpan.org> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to Github L<https://github.com/koorchik/Mojolicious-Plugin-JSUrlFor/> Also you can report bugs to CPAN RT =head1 SEE ALSO L<Mojolicious>, L<Mojolicious::Guides>, L<http://mojolicio.us>. =cut
