219 See L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro> for additional information.
223 Catalyst is a modern framework for making web applications without the
224 pain usually associated with this process. This document is a reference
225 to the main Catalyst application. If you are a new user, we suggest you
226 start with L<Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial> or L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro>.
228 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.
230 Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use
231 Catalyst" statement. Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the
232 plugin name, i.e., C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes
235 use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
237 If your plugin starts with a name other than C<Catalyst::Plugin::>, you can
238 fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:
242 +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
245 Special flags like C<-Debug> and C<-Engine> can also be specified as
246 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
248 use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
250 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because
251 they are loaded in the order in which they appear.
253 The following flags are supported:
257 Enables debug output. You can also force this setting from the system
258 environment with CATALYST_DEBUG or <MYAPP>_DEBUG. The environment
259 settings override the application, with <MYAPP>_DEBUG having the highest
262 This sets the log level to 'debug' and enables full debug output on the
263 error screen. If you only want the latter, see L<< $c->debug >>.
267 Forces Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the
268 C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:
270 use Catalyst qw/-Engine=CGI/;
274 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
276 use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/mst];
278 This can also be done in the shell environment by setting either the
279 C<CATALYST_HOME> environment variable or C<MYAPP_HOME>; where C<MYAPP>
280 is replaced with the uppercased name of your application, any "::" in
281 the name will be replaced with underscores, e.g. MyApp::Web should use
282 MYAPP_WEB_HOME. If both variables are set, the MYAPP_HOME one will be used.
284 If none of these are set, Catalyst will attempt to automatically detect the
285 home directory. If you are working in a development envirnoment, Catalyst
286 will try and find the directory containing either Makefile.PL, Build.PL or
287 dist.ini. If the application has been installed into the system (i.e.
288 you have done C<make install>), then Catalyst will use the path to your
289 application module, without the .pm extension (ie, /foo/MyApp if your
290 application was installed at /foo/MyApp.pm)
294 use Catalyst '-Log=warn,fatal,error';
296 Specifies a comma-delimited list of log levels.
300 Enables statistics collection and reporting.
302 use Catalyst qw/-Stats=1/;
304 You can also force this setting from the system environment with CATALYST_STATS
305 or <MYAPP>_STATS. The environment settings override the application, with
306 <MYAPP>_STATS having the highest priority.
308 Stats are also enabled if L<< debugging |/"-Debug" >> is enabled.
312 =head2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT REQUEST
316 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
317 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
321 Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the URI prefix
322 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:
324 # in Controller::Foo::Bar
325 $c->namespace; # returns 'foo/bar';
331 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Request> object, giving access to
332 information about the current client request (including parameters,
333 cookies, HTTP headers, etc.). See L<Catalyst::Request>.
335 =head2 REQUEST FLOW HANDLING
337 =head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
339 =head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
341 Forwards processing to another action, by its private name. If you give a
342 class name but no method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally
343 pass arguments in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in
344 C<@_> and C<< $c->req->args >>. Upon returning from the function,
345 C<< $c->req->args >> will be restored to the previous values.
347 Any data C<return>ed from the action forwarded to, will be returned by the
350 my $foodata = $c->forward('/foo');
351 $c->forward('index');
352 $c->forward(qw/Model::DBIC::Foo do_stuff/);
353 $c->forward('View::TT');
355 Note that L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >> implies
356 an C<< eval { } >> around the call (actually
357 L<< execute|/"$c->execute( $class, $coderef )" >> does), thus de-fatalizing
358 all 'dies' within the called action. If you want C<die> to propagate you
359 need to do something like:
362 die join "\n", @{ $c->error } if @{ $c->error };
364 Or make sure to always return true values from your actions and write
367 $c->forward('foo') || return;
369 Another note is that C<< $c->forward >> always returns a scalar because it
370 actually returns $c->state which operates in a scalar context.
371 Thus, something like:
375 in an action that is forwarded to is going to return a scalar,
376 i.e. how many items are in that array, which is probably not what you want.
377 If you need to return an array then return a reference to it,
380 $c->stash->{array} = \@array;
382 and access it from the stash.
384 Keep in mind that the C<end> method used is that of the caller action. So a C<$c-E<gt>detach> inside a forwarded action would run the C<end> method from the original action requested.
388 sub forward { my $c = shift; no warnings 'recursion'; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }
390 =head2 $c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )
392 =head2 $c->detach( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
396 The same as L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>, but
397 doesn't return to the previous action when processing is finished.
399 When called with no arguments it escapes the processing chain entirely.
403 sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }
405 =head2 $c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
407 =head2 $c->visit( $class, $method, [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
409 Almost the same as L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>,
410 but does a full dispatch, instead of just calling the new C<$action> /
411 C<< $class->$method >>. This means that C<begin>, C<auto> and the method
412 you go to are called, just like a new request.
414 In addition both C<< $c->action >> and C<< $c->namespace >> are localized.
415 This means, for example, that C<< $c->action >> methods such as
416 L<name|Catalyst::Action/name>, L<class|Catalyst::Action/class> and
417 L<reverse|Catalyst::Action/reverse> return information for the visited action
418 when they are invoked within the visited action. This is different from the
419 behavior of L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>, which
420 continues to use the $c->action object from the caller action even when
421 invoked from the callee.
423 C<< $c->stash >> is kept unchanged.
425 In effect, L<< visit|/"$c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >>
426 allows you to "wrap" another action, just as it would have been called by
427 dispatching from a URL, while the analogous
428 L<< go|/"$c->go( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >> allows you to
429 transfer control to another action as if it had been reached directly from a URL.
433 sub visit { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->visit( $c, @_ ) }
435 =head2 $c->go( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
437 =head2 $c->go( $class, $method, [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
439 The relationship between C<go> and
440 L<< visit|/"$c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >> is the same as
441 the relationship between
442 L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )" >> and
443 L<< detach|/"$c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>. Like C<< $c->visit >>,
444 C<< $c->go >> will perform a full dispatch on the specified action or method,
445 with localized C<< $c->action >> and C<< $c->namespace >>. Like C<detach>,
446 C<go> escapes the processing of the current request chain on completion, and
447 does not return to its caller.
449 @arguments are arguments to the final destination of $action. @captures are
450 arguments to the intermediate steps, if any, on the way to the final sub of
455 sub go { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->go( $c, @_ ) }
461 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Response> object, see there for details.
465 Returns a hashref to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass
466 it between components during a request. You can also set hash keys by
467 passing arguments. The stash is automatically sent to the view. The
468 stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for
469 persistent storage (for this you must use a session; see
470 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Session> for a complete system integrated with
473 $c->stash->{foo} = $bar;
474 $c->stash( { moose => 'majestic', qux => 0 } );
475 $c->stash( bar => 1, gorch => 2 ); # equivalent to passing a hashref
477 # stash is automatically passed to the view for use in a template
478 $c->forward( 'MyApp::View::TT' );
482 around stash => sub {
485 my $stash = $orig->($c);
487 my $new_stash = @_ > 1 ? {@_} : $_[0];
488 croak('stash takes a hash or hashref') unless ref $new_stash;
489 foreach my $key ( keys %$new_stash ) {
490 $stash->{$key} = $new_stash->{$key};
500 =head2 $c->error($error, ...)
502 =head2 $c->error($arrayref)
504 Returns an arrayref containing error messages. If Catalyst encounters an
505 error while processing a request, it stores the error in $c->error. This
506 method should only be used to store fatal error messages.
508 my @error = @{ $c->error };
512 $c->error('Something bad happened');
519 my $error = ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ? $_[0] : [@_];
520 croak @$error unless ref $c;
521 push @{ $c->{error} }, @$error;
523 elsif ( defined $_[0] ) { $c->{error} = undef }
524 return $c->{error} || [];
530 Contains the return value of the last executed action.
531 Note that << $c->state >> operates in a scalar context which means that all
532 values it returns are scalar.
534 =head2 $c->clear_errors
536 Clear errors. You probably don't want to clear the errors unless you are
537 implementing a custom error screen.

739 =head2 CLASS DATA AND HELPER CLASSES
743 Returns or takes a hashref containing the application's configuration.
745 __PACKAGE__->config( { db => 'dsn:SQLite:foo.db' } );
747 You can also use a C<YAML>, C<XML> or L<Config::General> config file
748 like C<myapp.conf> in your applications home directory. See
749 L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader>.
751 =head3 Cascading configuration
753 The config method is present on all Catalyst components, and configuration
754 will be merged when an application is started. Configuration loaded with
755 L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader> takes precedence over other configuration,
756 followed by configuration in your top level C<MyApp> class. These two
757 configurations are merged, and then configuration data whose hash key matches a
758 component name is merged with configuration for that component.
760 The configuration for a component is then passed to the C<new> method when a
761 component is constructed.
765 MyApp->config({ 'Model::Foo' => { bar => 'baz', overrides => 'me' } });
766 MyApp::Model::Foo->config({ quux => 'frob', overrides => 'this' });
768 will mean that C<MyApp::Model::Foo> receives the following data when
771 MyApp::Model::Foo->new({
777 It's common practice to use a Moose attribute
778 on the receiving component to access the config value.
780 package MyApp::Model::Foo;
784 # this attr will receive 'baz' at construction time
790 You can then get the value 'baz' by calling $c->model('Foo')->bar
791 (or $self->bar inside code in the model).
793 B<NOTE:> you MUST NOT call C<< $self->config >> or C<< __PACKAGE__->config >>
794 as a way of reading config within your code, as this B<will not> give you the
795 correctly merged config back. You B<MUST> take the config values supplied to
796 the constructor and use those instead.
800 around config => sub {
804 croak('Setting config after setup has been run is not allowed.')
805 if ( @_ and $c->setup_finished );
812 Returns the logging object instance. Unless it is already set, Catalyst
813 sets this up with a L<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class,

824 Your log class should implement the methods described in
830 Returns 1 if debug mode is enabled, 0 otherwise.
832 You can enable debug mode in several ways:
836 =item By calling myapp_server.pl with the -d flag
838 =item With the environment variables MYAPP_DEBUG, or CATALYST_DEBUG
840 =item The -Debug option in your MyApp.pm
842 =item By declaring C<sub debug { 1 }> in your MyApp.pm.
846 The first three also set the log level to 'debug'.
848 Calling C<< $c->debug(1) >> has no effect.

1113 Constructs an absolute L<URI> object based on the application root, the
1114 provided path, and the additional arguments and query parameters provided.
1115 When used as a string, provides a textual URI. If you need more flexibility
1116 than this (i.e. the option to provide relative URIs etc.) see
1117 L<Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI>.
1119 If no arguments are provided, the URI for the current action is returned.
1120 To return the current action and also provide @args, use
1121 C<< $c->uri_for( $c->action, @args ) >>.
1123 If the first argument is a string, it is taken as a public URI path relative
1124 to C<< $c->namespace >> (if it doesn't begin with a forward slash) or
1125 relative to the application root (if it does). It is then merged with
1126 C<< $c->request->base >>; any C<@args> are appended as additional path
1127 components; and any C<%query_values> are appended as C<?foo=bar> parameters.
1129 If the first argument is a L<Catalyst::Action> it represents an action which
1130 will have its path resolved using C<< $c->dispatcher->uri_for_action >>. The
1131 optional C<\@captures> argument (an arrayref) allows passing the captured
1132 variables that are needed to fill in the paths of Chained and Regex actions;
1133 once the path is resolved, C<uri_for> continues as though a path was
1134 provided, appending any arguments or parameters and creating an absolute
1137 The captures for the current request can be found in
1138 C<< $c->request->captures >>, and actions can be resolved using
1139 C<< Catalyst::Controller->action_for($name) >>. If you have a private action
1140 path, use C<< $c->uri_for_action >> instead.

1246 A private path to the Catalyst action you want to create a URI for.
1248 This is a shortcut for calling C<< $c->dispatcher->get_action_by_path($path)
1249 >> and passing the resulting C<$action> and the remaining arguments to C<<
1252 You can also pass in a Catalyst::Action object, in which case it is passed to
1255 Note that although the path looks like a URI that dispatches to the wanted action, it is not a URI, but an internal path to that action.
1257 For example, if the action looks like:
1259 package MyApp::Controller::Users;
1261 sub lst : Path('the-list') {}
1265 $c->uri_for_action('/users/lst')
1267 and it will create the URI /users/the-list.

2766 Returns an arrayref of the internal execution stack (actions that are
2767 currently executing).
2771 Returns the current timing statistics object. By default Catalyst uses
2772 L<Catalyst::Stats|Catalyst::Stats>, but can be set otherwise with
2773 L<< stats_class|/"$c->stats_class" >>.
2775 Even if L<< -Stats|/"-Stats" >> is not enabled, the stats object is still
2776 available. By enabling it with C< $c->stats->enabled(1) >, it can be used to
2777 profile explicitly, although MyApp.pm still won't profile nor output anything
2780 =head2 $c->stats_class
2782 Returns or sets the stats (timing statistics) class. L<Catalyst::Stats|Catalyst::Stats> is used by default.
2784 =head2 $c->use_stats
2786 Returns 1 when L<< stats collection|/"-Stats" >> is enabled.
2788 Note that this is a static method, not an accessor and should be overridden
2789 by declaring C<sub use_stats { 1 }> in your MyApp.pm, not by calling C<< $c->use_stats(1) >>.
2796 =head2 $c->write( $data )
2798 Writes $data to the output stream. When using this method directly, you
2799 will need to manually set the C<Content-Length> header to the length of
2800 your output data, if known.
2807 # Finalize headers if someone manually writes output
2808 $c->finalize_headers;
2810 return $c->engine->write( $c, @_ );
2815 Returns the Catalyst version number. Mostly useful for "powered by"
2816 messages in template systems.
2820 sub version { return $Catalyst::VERSION }
2822 =head1 CONFIGURATION
2824 There are a number of 'base' config variables which can be set:
2830 C<default_model> - The default model picked if you say C<< $c->model >>. See L<< /$c->model($name) >>.
2834 C<default_view> - The default view to be rendered or returned when C<< $c->view >> is called. See L<< /$c->view($name) >>.
2838 C<home> - The application home directory. In an uninstalled application,
2839 this is the top level application directory. In an installed application,
2840 this will be the directory containing C<< MyApp.pm >>.
2844 C<ignore_frontend_proxy> - See L</PROXY SUPPORT>
2848 C<name> - The name of the application in debug messages and the debug and
2853 C<parse_on_demand> - The request body (for example file uploads) will not be parsed
2854 until it is accessed. This allows you to (for example) check authentication (and reject
2855 the upload) before actually recieving all the data. See L</ON-DEMAND PARSER>
2859 C<root> - The root directory for templates. Usually this is just a
2860 subdirectory of the home directory, but you can set it to change the
2861 templates to a different directory.
2865 C<show_internal_actions> - If true, causes internal actions such as C<< _DISPATCH >>
2866 to be shown in hit debug tables in the test server.
2870 C<use_request_uri_for_path> - Controlls if the C<REQUEST_URI> or C<PATH_INFO> environment
2871 variable should be used for determining the request path. See L<Catalyst::Engine::CGI/PATH DECODING>
2872 for more information.
2876 C<using_frontend_proxy> - See L</PROXY SUPPORT>.
2880 =head1 INTERNAL ACTIONS
2882 Catalyst uses internal actions like C<_DISPATCH>, C<_BEGIN>, C<_AUTO>,
2883 C<_ACTION>, and C<_END>. These are by default not shown in the private
2884 action table, but you can make them visible with a config parameter.
2886 MyApp->config(show_internal_actions => 1);
2888 =head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER
2890 The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
2891 but if you want to handle input yourself, you can enable on-demand
2892 parsing with a config parameter.
2894 MyApp->config(parse_on_demand => 1);
2896 =head1 PROXY SUPPORT
2898 Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach,
2899 with a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger
2900 backend server. An application running on the backend server must deal
2901 with two problems: the remote user always appears to be C<127.0.0.1> and
2902 the server's hostname will appear to be C<localhost> regardless of the
2903 virtual host that the user connected through.
2905 Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running
2906 the frontend and backend servers on the same machine. The following
2907 changes are made to the request.
2909 $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from
2910 the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header.
2912 The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real
2913 host, as read from the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header.
2915 Additionally, you may be running your backend application on an insecure
2916 connection (port 80) while your frontend proxy is running under SSL. If there
2917 is a discrepancy in the ports, use the HTTP header C<X-Forwarded-Port> to
2918 tell Catalyst what port the frontend listens on. This will allow all URIs to
2919 be created properly.
2921 In the case of passing in:
2923 X-Forwarded-Port: 443
2925 All calls to C<uri_for> will result in an https link, as is expected.
2927 Obviously, your web server must support these headers for this to work.
2929 In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your
2930 frontend proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a
2931 configuration option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the
2934 MyApp->config(using_frontend_proxy => 1);
2936 If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:
2938 MyApp->config(ignore_frontend_proxy => 1);
2940 =head1 THREAD SAFETY
2942 Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading C<mpm_worker>,
2943 C<mpm_winnt>, and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows. We
2944 believe the Catalyst core to be thread-safe.
2946 If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
2947 modules you are using must also be thread-safe. Some modules, most notably
2948 L<DBD::SQLite>, are not thread-safe.
