Change settings from within application

[alanhaggai]

Hi David,

This patch lets a Dancer application override settings defined in the configuration file.

Please apply it if you find it useful.

Thank you.

Thanks Alan, looks useful - I'll pull these in soon and write up some documentation.

From looking at the code, it seems you could pass it a hashref of settings if you want to, for instance:

my $dbh = database(
    { driver => 'SQLite', database => 'foo.sqlite' }
);

?

Sounds like something that could potentially be useful for some :) (I assume you're making use of D::P::Database in a way which that feature is useful for you? :) )

Will also need to rock up some tests to exercise this new feature :)

Thanks for the reply, David. :-)

Yes, a hashref can be passed to set configuration during runtime. I added this feature so that I could connect to databases which were selected at runtime. We need tests and documentation. :-)
