NAME

    Mojo::Redfish::Client - A Redfish client with a Mojo flair

SYNOPSIS

      my $client = Mojo::Redfish::Client->new(host => '192.168.0.1');
      my $system = $client->root->get('/Systems')->get('/Members')->first;
      my $name   = $system->value('/Name');
      say "Name: $name";

DESCRIPTION

    Redfish <https://redfish.dmtf.org/> is a modern standards-based system
    for querying computer systems for information. It replaces the existing
    IPMI "standard", such as it was, both in standardization and in using
    JSON over HTTP rather than binary protocols.

    Mojo::Redfish::Client is, as the name suggests, a client for Redfish.
    It works to smooth out some of the common pain points of working with
    Redfish, especially the task of walking the data structure to find
    relevant information.

    This is still a work-in-progress, however the author uses it in work
    application so every effort will be made to keep the api reasonably
    stable while improving where possible.

ATTRIBUTES

    Mojo::Redfish::Client inherits all attributes from Mojo::Base and
    implements the following new ones.

 host

    The Redfish host.

 password

    Password used for authentication by the default "ua" (with "username").

 ssl

    If true, the default "ua" will establish the connection using SSL/TLS
    by setting the request scheme to https. If false, the request scheme
    will be http. If not defined, the url scheme will not be set. Default
    is true.

 token

    Session token to be used by the default "ua", overrides "username" and
    "password".

 ua

    The instance of Mojo::UserAgent used to make requests. The default is
    an instance which subscribes to "prepare" in Mojo::UserAgent to set
    authentication and ssl.

 username

    Username used for authentication by the default "ua" (with "password").

METHODS

    Mojo::Redfish::Client inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and
    implements the following new ones.

 get

      my $result = $client->get('/redfish/v1/Systems');

    Requests the requested url via the "ua". Returns an instance of
    Mojo::Redfish::Client::Result. Dies on errors (the exact exception and
    behavior is subject to change).

 root

      my $result = $client->root;

    Requests the Redfish root url (/redfish/v1) from the "host" via "get"
    or fetches a cached copy. Caches and returns the result.

      # same as (except for the caching)
      my $result = $client->get('/redfish/v1');

FUTURE WORK

    This module is still in early development. Future work will include

      * Non-blocking (promise-based) api

      * Session management

      * Even more testing
