Dancer2 modules of interest

This Search returns a lot of modules.
These are the ones I think are of interest early on, though I haven't gone through the entire list.

• Dancer2::Plugin::Pg - PostgreSQL connection for Dancer2
  
  Plugin::Pg concentrates around central auth (which we don't have); so, no go, I'm afraid

• Dancer2::Plugin::Res - Dancer2 add-on for setting status/response.
  
  ::Res is so simple I don't understand there's a module for it.

• Dancer2::Plugin::REST - A plugin for writing RESTful apps with Dancer2

• Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC - DBIx::Class interface for Dancer2 applications
  
  ::DBIC is handy (I think) when you're running a DBIC application, which we're not (after all, we're using PGObject)

• Dancer2::Plugin::CSRF - CSRF tokens generation and validation
  
  ::CSRF looks good

• Dancer2::Plugin::Flash - flash message for Dancer2
  
  ::Flash retains a value until $request_no+1 and then cleans it up
  
  ::Flash I thought is likely good for popup messages (error messages) and possibly for popup "data entry" forms
  
  Dancer2::Plugin::Deferred has been suggested as possibly a better option than ::Flash

• Dancer2::Session::JSON - Dancer 2 session storage in files with JSON

• Dancer2::Plugin::Email - Simple email sending for Dancer2 applications

• Dancer2::Session::PSGI - Dancer2 session storage via Plack::Middleware::Session

• Dancer2::Session::Cookie - Dancer 2 session storage in secure cookies

• Dancer2::Plugin::Adapter - Wrap any simple class as a service for Dancer2
  
  Plugin::Adapter looks interesting!

• Dancer2::Plugin::Swagger2 - A Dancer2 plugin for creating routes from a Swagger2 spec

• Dancer2::Plugin::EditFile - Edit a text file from Dancer2
  
  Plugin::EditFile looks dangerous; even the author warns for the security implications
  
  I was thinking it's possibly a good replacement for our existing template editor

• Dancer2::Plugin::Locale::Meta - This plugin allow Dancer2 developers to use Locale::Meta package.

• Dancer2::Plugin::HTTP::Caching - RFC 7234 compliant

• Dancer2::Plugin::BrowserDetect - Provides an easy to have info of the browser.

• Dancer2::Template::TextTemplate - Text::Template engine for Dancer2

• Dancer2::Plugin::Syntax::GetPost - Syntactic sugar for GET+POST handlers

• Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::DBIC - authenticate via the Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC plugin

• DBICx::Sugar - Just some syntax sugar for DBIx::Class

• Dancer2::Plugin::Deferred
  This has been suggested as possibly a better option than ::Plugin::Flash

This one may be a nice alternative for REST

• Dancer2::Plugin::WebService - Rapid creation of REST web services with sessions and persistent data

There are probably more, but that list stands out to me

We have an ADR which says we aren't going to go with Dancer.
