change serializer in Dancer2 according to request param

perl_help27 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello again, I am trying to switch between json and xml serializers in my Dancer2 app. Like change my serializer dynamically in my app. This is my code:

hook before => sub {
    set serializer => ( request->params->{format} eq 'xml' ? 'XML' : '
+JSON');
};

However, the first request always operates based on the old serializer so I have to call the request twice in a row to get the response using the correct serializer. If you can please help me with that. Thanks

Hi, No. Serializer is too much magic for me, cant hunt all the docs to figure it out, so why bother `#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Dancer2; sub con_serv { my( $type, $ref ) = @_; content_type('text/x-json'); require JSON::MaybeXS; return JSON::MaybeXS::encode_json($ref); } get '/always/json' => sub { con_serv( 'json', { get => '/always/json' + } ); }; get '/:type' => sub { con_serv( request->params->{type} , { get + => '/:type' } ); }; get '/' => sub { ' <html> <pre> <a href="/">/</a> <a href="/always/json">/always/json</a> <a href="/json">/json</a> ' }; dance; __END__` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
