Best way to serve README.md

[Pavel Serikov]

I want that my README.md will be available under /readme route. How to do that?

I checked the docs about ways of serving static files, but problem that I need to process markdown to html firstly. It's possible to do with Text::Markdown or other plugins, but how to use it together with reply->static helper? 

Or maybe there is ready-to-use plugin? I found Mojolicious::Plugin::Directory, but seems like it serve all static files, but I need to serve only one.

$ cat md

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Mojolicious::Lite;

use Text::Markdown;

helper md => sub { shift; Text::Markdown->new->markdown(@_) };

get '/readme' => sub {

  my $c = shift;

  $c->render(text => $c->md(Mojo::Util::slurp 'README.md'));

};

app->start;

$ cat README.md 

# Hello

$ perl md get /readme

Another way would be with a handler:

app->renderer->add_handler( 'md' => sub {
my ($r, $c, $out, $opts) = @_;
$$out = Text::Markdown->new->markdown(
Mojo::Util::slurp($r->template_path($opts)))
} );

get 'readme';

(though this would look for templates/readme.html.md)
