rlauer/openbedrock repository overview

⁠Overview

openbedrock (Bedrock) is a web application framework written in Perl. Bedrock allows you to create HTML pages (or any other text files) by using various tags parsed by Bedrock's templating engine. Additionally, Bedrock provides components like built-in session management, database access and other plugins that make creating web applications easy. Some of the tags implemented by Bedrock are listed below.

⁠On Deck (3.4.0)

  • The 'Bedrock' CPAN distribution will require Bedrock::Core

⁠What's New in 3.3.9?

• The default image new includes a default session manager so you can experiment with persistent sessions. The default session manager users SQLite as the backend session store but you can choose from other managers like MySQL, Postgres. Redis, or roll your own!
• A sample login application can be found by visiting http://localhost/register⁠.
• Documentation fixes
• See the ChangeLog for more details.
• minor bug fixes

⁠What's New in 3.3.8?

• <var --markdown $text> - considers $text to be markdown to be converted to HTML
• fix to bedrock.conf so bedrock.cgi works
• fix to bug in BLM::Startup::SessionManager that created a NULL constraint violation in BLM::Startup::SQLiteSession

⁠What's New in 3.3.7?

• Bedrock's DarkPAN repository⁠ where you can download a CPAN distribution of Bedrock
• New options for the <var> and <null> tags
  • <var --flush $output> - flushes output buffer and outputs $output. Useful when creating JSON output using the --json option.
  • <var --lc $output> - lower case output
  • <var --uc $output> - upper case output
  • Ditto for the <null> tag when ingesting input - <null --uc $input.action>
• Improved build for images, but still a bit of a work in progress
  • Fedora image now based on Fedora 42
