167 See L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro> for additional information.
171 The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
173 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.
175 Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use
176 Catalyst" statement. Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the
177 plugin name, i.e., C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes
180 use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
182 Special flags like C<-Debug> and C<-Engine> can also be specified as
183 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
185 use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
187 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because
188 they are loaded in exactly the order in which they appear.
190 The following flags are supported:
194 Enables debug output.
198 Forces Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the
199 C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:
201 use Catalyst qw/-Engine=CGI/;
205 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
207 use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/sri];
215 =head2 Information about the current request
219 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
220 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
224 Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the uri prefix
225 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:
227 # in Controller::Foo::Bar
228 $c->namespace; # returns 'foo/bar';
234 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Request> object. See
235 L<Catalyst::Request>.
237 =head2 Processing and response to the current request
239 =head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
241 =head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
243 Forwards processing to a private action. If you give a class name but no
244 method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally pass arguments
245 in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in C<@_> and
246 C<$c-E<gt>req-E<gt>args>. Upon returning from the function,
247 C<$c-E<gt>req-E<gt>args> will be restored to the previous values.
250 $c->forward('index');
251 $c->forward(qw/MyApp::Model::CDBI::Foo do_stuff/);
252 $c->forward('MyApp::View::TT');
256 sub forward { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }
258 =head2 $c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )
260 =head2 $c->detach( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
262 The same as C<forward>, but doesn't return.
266 sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }
270 =head2 $c->error($error, ...)
272 =head2 $c->error($arrayref)
274 Returns an arrayref containing error messages. If Catalyst encounters an
275 error while processing a request, it stores the error in $c->error. This
276 method should not be used to store non-fatal error messages.
278 my @error = @{ $c->error };
282 $c->error('Something bad happened');
284 Clear errors. You probably don't want to clear the errors unless you are
285 implementing a custom error screen.
294 my $error = ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ? $_[0] : [@_];
295 push @{ $c->{error} }, @$error;
297 elsif ( defined $_[0] ) { $c->{error} = undef }
298 return $c->{error} || [];
305 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Response> object.
309 Returns a hashref to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass
310 it between components during a request. You can also set hash keys by
311 passing arguments. The stash is automatically sent to the view. The
312 stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for
315 $c->stash->{foo} = $bar;
316 $c->stash( { moose => 'majestic', qux => 0 } );
317 $c->stash( bar => 1, gorch => 2 ); # equivalent to passing a hashref
319 # stash is automatically passed to the view for use in a template
320 $c->forward( 'MyApp::V::TT' );
327 my $stash = @_ > 1 ? {@_} : $_[0];
328 while ( my ( $key, $val ) = each %$stash ) {
329 $c->{stash}->{$key} = $val;
337 Contains the return value of the last executed action.
339 =head2 Component Accessors
341 =head2 $c->comp($name)
343 =head2 $c->component($name)
345 Gets a component object by name. This method is no longer recommended,
346 unless you want to get a specific component by full
347 class. C<$c-E<gt>controller>, C<$c-E<gt>model>, and C<$c-E<gt>view>
348 should be used instead.
359 my $appclass = ref $c || $c;
362 $name, "${appclass}::${name}",
363 map { "${appclass}::${_}::${name}" }
364 qw/Model M Controller C View V/
367 foreach my $try (@names) {

381 $comp = $c->components->{$component} if $component =~ /$name/i;
383 if ( ref $comp && $comp->can('ACCEPT_CONTEXT') ) {
384 return $comp->ACCEPT_CONTEXT($c);
386 else { return $comp }
392 return sort keys %{ $c->components };
395 =head2 $c->controller($name)
397 Gets a L<Catalyst::Controller> instance by name.
399 $c->controller('Foo')->do_stuff;
404 my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
405 my $controller = $c->comp("Controller::$name");
406 return $controller if defined $controller;
407 return $c->comp("C::$name");
410 =head2 $c->model($name)
412 Gets a L<Catalyst::Model> instance by name.
414 $c->model('Foo')->do_stuff;
419 my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
420 my $model = $c->comp("Model::$name");
421 return $model if defined $model;
422 return $c->comp("M::$name");
425 =head2 $c->view($name)
427 Gets a L<Catalyst::View> instance by name.
429 $c->view('Foo')->do_stuff;
434 my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
435 my $view = $c->comp("View::$name");
436 return $view if defined $view;
437 return $c->comp("V::$name");
440 =head2 Class data and helper classes
444 Returns or takes a hashref containing the application's configuration.
446 __PACKAGE__->config({ db => 'dsn:SQLite:foo.db' });
448 You can also use a L<YAML> config file like myapp.yml in your
449 applications home directory.
452 db: dsn:SQLite:foo.db
456 Overload to enable debug messages (same as -Debug option).
462 =head2 $c->dispatcher
464 Returns the dispatcher instance. Stringifies to class name. See
465 L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>.
469 Returns the engine instance. Stringifies to the class name. See
474 Returns the logging object instance. Unless it is already set, Catalyst
475 sets this up with a L<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class:
477 $c->log( MyLogger->new );
478 $c->log->info( 'Now logging with my own logger!' );
480 Your log class should implement the methods described in the
481 L<Catalyst::Log> man page.
485 =head2 Utility methods
487 =head2 $c->path_to(@path)
489 Merges C<@path> with C<$c-E<gt>config-E<gt>{home}> and returns a
490 L<Path::Class> object.
494 $c->path_to( 'db', 'sqlite.db' );
499 my ( $c, @path ) = @_;
500 my $path = dir( $c->config->{home}, @path );
501 if ( -d $path ) { return $path }
502 else { return file( $c->config->{home}, @path ) }
505 =head2 $c->plugin( $name, $class, @args )
507 Helper method for plugins. It creates a classdata accessor/mutator and
508 loads and instantiates the given class.

812 <img src="$logo" alt="Catalyst Logo" />
814 <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of Catalyst.
815 This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVC">MVC</a>
816 framework will make web development something you had
817 never expected it to be: Fun, rewarding, and quick.</p>
818 <h2>What to do now?</h2>
819 <p>That really depends on what <b>you</b> want to do.
820 We do, however, provide you with a few starting points.</p>
821 <p>If you want to jump right into web development with Catalyst
822 you might want to check out the documentation.</p>
823 <pre><code>perldoc <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Intro.pod">Catalyst::Manual::Intro</a>
824 perldoc <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst/Manual.pod">Catalyst::Manual</a></code></pre>
825 <h2>What to do next?</h2>
826 <p>Next it's time to write an actual application. Use the
827 helper scripts to generate <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AController%3A%3A&mode=all">controllers</a>,
828 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AModel%3A%3A&mode=all">models</a>, and
829 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AView%3A%3A&mode=all">views</a>;
830 they can save you a lot of work.</p>
831 <pre><code>script/${prefix}_create.pl -help</code></pre>
832 <p>Also, be sure to check out the vast and growing
833 collection of <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3APlugin%3A%3A&mode=all">plugins for Catalyst on CPAN</a>;
834 you are likely to find what you need there.
838 <p>Catalyst has a very active community. Here are the main places to
839 get in touch with us.</p>

851 <h2>In conclusion</h2>
852 <p>The Catalyst team hopes you will enjoy using Catalyst as much
853 as we enjoyed making it. Please contact us if you have ideas
854 for improvement or other feedback.</p>

1879 action table, but you can make them visible with a config parameter.
1881 MyApp->config->{show_internal_actions} = 1;
1883 =head1 CASE SENSITIVITY
1885 By default Catalyst is not case sensitive, so C<MyApp::C::FOO::Bar> is
1886 mapped to C</foo/bar>. You can activate case sensitivity with a config
1889 MyApp->config->{case_sensitive} = 1;
1891 This causes C<MyApp::C::Foo::Bar> to map to C</Foo/Bar>.
1893 =head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER
1895 The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
1896 but if you want to handle input yourself or speed things up a bit,
1897 you can enable on-demand parsing with a config parameter.
1899 MyApp->config->{parse_on_demand} = 1;
1901 =head1 PROXY SUPPORT
1903 Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach,
1904 with a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger
1905 backend server. An application running on the backend server must deal
1906 with two problems: the remote user always appears to be C<127.0.0.1> and
1907 the server's hostname will appear to be C<localhost> regardless of the
1908 virtual host that the user connected through.
1910 Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running
1911 the frontend and backend servers on the same machine. The following
1912 changes are made to the request.
1914 $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from
1915 the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header.
1917 The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real
1918 host, as read from the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header.
1920 Obviously, your web server must support these headers for this to work.
1922 In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your
1923 frontend proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a
1924 configuration option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the
1927 MyApp->config->{using_frontend_proxy} = 1;
1929 If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:
1931 MyApp->config->{ignore_frontend_proxy} = 1;
1933 =head1 THREAD SAFETY
1935 Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading mpm_worker, mpm_winnt,
1936 and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows. We believe the Catalyst
1937 core to be thread-safe.
1939 If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
1940 modules you are using must also be thread-safe. Some modules, most notably
1941 L<DBD::SQLite>, are not thread-safe.
