# StatusCafe.pm
Perl module to fetch content directly from [status.cafe](https;//status.cafe)

I wanted to create a custom widget on my Mojolicious site listing off my status from status.cafe, so I wrote this module to fetch the info by directly scraping the given user's page. There's not really any reason I did that over Atom feed parsing, however!

This isn't a proper Perl module yet that can be put on the CPAN; for now what I've personally been doing is using it under the `Model` namespace in the Mojolicious project I mentioned above. I plan on turning it into a proper CPAN module at a later date.

## How to use

```Perl
use utf8;
use StatusCafe;

my ($emoji, $timeAgo, $content) = statuscafe('m15o');
```

NOTE: You might want to set up some form of caching so it doesn't need refetched every time the script is triggered

## Dependencies

- HTTP::Tiny (for page fetching)
- Mojo::DOM (for parsing the fetched page for necessary info)
- Mojo::Util (so Mojo::DOM doesn't throw a fit over emoji usage)

## To-do

- Add an optional flag to output emoji information as text instead of an actual emoji, since that's easier to handle
- As mentioned above, modify into a proper module to be uploaded to CPAN
