Will "req->uploads(), detour()" work in future releases?

[Ivan Babiychuk]

Hello.

Problem:

My colleagues say me not to use these functions:

$self->req->uploads('file');
$r->detour();

Question:

Will these two functions work in future releases? Will any of these functions be excluded?

I will be grateful for the concise answer (yes / no).

Thank you.

They are not deprecated at this time, but we can't see the future.

However, the ->uploads method does not take an argument, and the ->detour method does.

Hello.

The last two clarifying questions.

Example:

my $file = $self->req->upload('file');
print $file->slurp;

Is this a stable solution? 

What do you advise to use in this case?

Here is my colleague's thesis:

I believe you that it works, but Mojolicious is still breaks it's interface from time to time and we already have had an accident dedicated for.
If this method(upload) isn't listed in official documentation, it's a sign that it could be deprecated.  

Thank you.

Your colleague is wrong on this i'm afraid, if something is not documented we do not support it at all. There

would be no deprecation period, it would just disappear without warning. But of course the "upload" method

is documented and therefore a stable solution.

There is also documentation about how to deal with uploads right in the tutorial.

And regarding deprecations, everything can be deprecated. It is highly unlikely, but can happen.

Actually, this is not entirely correct, there is one exception. Should a Mojolicious book get written

then the API would get frozen for two years.

But that has not happened yet.
