=head1 NAME

Reaction::UI::Controller

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Controller class used to make displaying collections easier.
Inherits from L<Reaction::UI::Controller>.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 model_name

The name of the model this controller will use as it's data source. Should be a 
name that can be passed to C<$C-E<gt>model>

=head2 collection_name

The name of the collection whithin the model that this Controller will be 
utilizing.

=head2 action_viewport_map

=over 4

=item B<_build_action_viewport_map> - Provided builder method, see METHODS

=item B<has_action_viewport_map> - Auto generated predicate

=item B<clear_action_viewport_map>- Auto generated clearer method

=back

Read-write lazy building hashref. The keys should match action names in the 
Controller and the value should be the ViewPort class that this action should 
use. See method C<basic_page> for more info.

=head action_viewport_args

Read-write lazy building hashref. Additional ViewPort arguments for the action 
named as the key in the controller.  See method C<basic_page> for more info.

=over 4

=item B<_build_action_viewport_args> - Provided builder method, see METHODS

=item B<has_action_viewport_args> - Auto generated predicate

=item B<clear_action_viewport_args>- Auto generated clearer method

=back

=head1 METHODS

=head2 get_collection $c

Returns an instance of the collection this controller uses.

=head2 _build_action_viewport_map

Provided builder for C<action_viewport_map>. Returns a hash with two items:

    list => 'Reaction::UI::ViewPort::ListView',
    view => 'Reaction::UI::ViewPort::Object',

=head2 _build_action_viewport_args

Returns an empty hashref.

=head2 basic_page $c, \%vp_args

Accepts two arguments, context, and a hashref of viewport arguments. It will
automatically determine the action name using the catalyst stack and call
C<push_viewport> with the ViewPort class name contained in the 
C<action_viewport_map> with a set of options determined by merging C<$vp_args>
and the arguments contained in C<action_viewport_args>, if any.

=head1 ACTIONS

=head2 base

Chain link, no-op.

=head2 list

Chain link, chained to C<base>. C<list> fetches the collection for the model
and calls C<basic_page> with a single argument, C<collection>.

The default ViewPort for this action is C<Reaction::UI::ViewPort::ListView> and
can be changed by altering the C<action_viewport_map> attribute hash.

=head2 object

Chain link, chained to C<base>, captures one argument, 'id'. Attempts to find 
a single object by searching for a member of the current collection which has a
Primary Key or Unique constraint matching that argument. If the object is found
it is stored in the stash under the C<object> key.

=head2 view

Chain link, chained to C<object>. Calls C<basic page> with one argument,
C<model>, which contains an instance of the object fetched by the C<object>
action link.

The default ViewPort for this action is C<Reaction::UI::ViewPort::Object> and 
can be changed by altering the C<action_viewport_map> attribute hash.
