MVC in a single file by "package::" in Mojolicious::Lite?

[westmj]

From https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojolicious/Guides/Growing I want to perversely avoid modules (*.pm) by using packages in a single "Lite" script, and still do testing. I managed to get partway there as zipped below by isolating the Model of MVC into the package Model::Users in login.pl following the Growing example, and can test it with t/login.t with only minor changes.

cd login
chmod 755 login.pl
prove t/login.t
./login.pl daemon

(but "morbo login.pl" is a disaster...)

But when I tried to isolate the Controller::Login, leaving the View in package main in login_mvc.pl , I have something wrong... ouch. It is hard for me to understand the deflation, so to speak. Can anyone help? I hope your teeth don't hurt when you look at this. Thanks. I feel like I am almost there. I am trying to up my game...

chmod 755 login_mvc.pl
etc... trying the passwords from a browser...

Thanks from a newbie...

In login.pl move the use Mojolicious::Lite -signatures; to within main. Model::Users needs strict, warnings and signatures enabling.

If you really wish to have a single file full app in login_mvc.pl, the app needs to be a class inheriting from Mojolicious and the script main needs to be the script from the growing guide, returning the instance. There's a few other syntax changes similar to above here.

Thanks! And your version runs fine under "morbo login_mvc.pl", but my login.pl spews errors. How come mine sucks under morbo but not as a daemon?

And then there are tests. I made only a slight change in the test files, t/login[_mvc].t The"prove t/login.t" passes, but your script with "prove t/login_mvc.pl" does not. I am a perplexed newbie.

And could these single-file scripts be inflated into applications with separation into modules Model::Users and Login::Controller::Login ? And why choose that over Controller::Login ? But not choose Login::Model::Users ?

Thanks for any help.
