Mojolicious request header in template

I am trying to get the request header in a mojolicious template. I need to get a custom header. In Flask I would use

{{request.headers['customheader] }}

How do I achieve the same in Mojolicious? There is a Mojo::Message::Request package.

So are what I have isn't working.

% use Mojo::Message::Request;
% my $req = Mojo::Message::Request->new;
<%= $req->headers->header('customheader') %>

If I only print $req I get a giant hash. I have also tried to use

% use Mojo::Headers;
% my $headers = Mojo::Headers->new;
<%= $headers->parse('X-Forwarded-For') %>
Solution

  • Since mojolicious injects the controller object as the local variable $c and $self into your view, you can easily access the request headers:

    # Your Template-Code
Some-Header: <strong><%= $c->req->headers->header("Some-header") %></strong>

    $c->req->headers is a Mojo::Headers object and contains all headers from the current request.
