63 Controllers are where the actions in the Catalyst framework

65 identify what kind of action it is. See the L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>

372 Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
373 accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
374 settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
378 This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
379 to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
380 controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
381 will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
382 of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
386 Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
390 =head2 $class->new($app, @args)
392 Proxies through to NEXT::new and stashes the application instance as
395 =head2 $self->action_for('name')
397 Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name
400 =head2 $self->register_actions($c)
402 Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates
403 Catalyst::Action objects (using $self->create_action) for them and
404 registers them with $c->dispatcher.
406 =head2 $self->action_namespace($c)
408 Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
409 to a value from the controller name (for
410 e.g. MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes "foo/bar") or can be
411 overridden from the "namespace" config key.
414 =head2 $self->path_prefix($c)
416 Returns the default path prefix for :Local, :LocalRegex and relative
417 :Path actions in this component. Defaults to the action_namespace or
418 can be overridden from the "path" config key.
420 =head2 $self->create_action(%args)
422 Called with a hash of data to be use for construction of a new
423 Catalyst::Action (or appropriate sub/alternative class) object.
425 Primarily designed for the use of register_actions.
427 =head2 $self->_application
431 Returns the application instance stored by C<new()>
