[dancer-users] Dancer2 -- multiple apps with different config(.yml) in one process

[Clive Eisen]

I had this issue (more or less)

You can set the cookie name in the before hook

engine('session')->{cookie_name} = ‘my.dancer.cookie’;

This is where my problem is: while I don't mind (would like to, even) share 99% of the configuration between two applications I want to mount, the two applications I want to mount, need separate authentication cookies. As far as I'm aware, I'd need to resolve to two different "config.yml" files (in my case I'd prefer "main_config.yml" and "setup_config.yml").

"main" is the application for regular users while "setup" is for application/functional maintenance (application admin). Since many businesses have a "superuser" appointed as their admin, this user has 2 roles. He may want to log into both applications at the same time, each in a separate window on the same browser. In order to be able to do that, I need to be able to set the session cookie for both applications to be different from each other. It's my understanding that the "best" way to set cookie names through the configuration. Hence my question how to get two applications pointing to two different configuration files.
