195 See L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro> for additional information.
199 Catalyst is a modern framework for making web applications without the
200 pain usually associated with this process. This document is a reference
201 to the main Catalyst application. If you are a new user, we suggest you
202 start with L<Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial> or L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro>.
204 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.
206 Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use
207 Catalyst" statement. Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the
208 plugin name, i.e., C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes
211 use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
213 If your plugin starts with a name other than C<Catalyst::Plugin::>, you can
214 fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:
218 +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
221 Special flags like C<-Debug> can also be specified as
222 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
224 use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
226 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because
227 they are loaded in the order in which they appear.
229 The following flags are supported:
233 Enables debug output. You can also force this setting from the system
234 environment with CATALYST_DEBUG or <MYAPP>_DEBUG. The environment
235 settings override the application, with <MYAPP>_DEBUG having the highest
238 This sets the log level to 'debug' and enables full debug output on the
239 error screen. If you only want the latter, see L<< $c->debug >>.
243 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
245 use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/mst];
247 This can also be done in the shell environment by setting either the
248 C<CATALYST_HOME> environment variable or C<MYAPP_HOME>; where C<MYAPP>
249 is replaced with the uppercased name of your application, any "::" in
250 the name will be replaced with underscores, e.g. MyApp::Web should use
251 MYAPP_WEB_HOME. If both variables are set, the MYAPP_HOME one will be used.
253 If none of these are set, Catalyst will attempt to automatically detect the
254 home directory. If you are working in a development environment, Catalyst
255 will try and find the directory containing either Makefile.PL, Build.PL or
256 dist.ini. If the application has been installed into the system (i.e.
257 you have done C<make install>), then Catalyst will use the path to your
258 application module, without the .pm extension (e.g., /foo/MyApp if your
259 application was installed at /foo/MyApp.pm)
263 use Catalyst '-Log=warn,fatal,error';
265 Specifies a comma-delimited list of log levels.
269 Enables statistics collection and reporting.
271 use Catalyst qw/-Stats=1/;
273 You can also force this setting from the system environment with CATALYST_STATS
274 or <MYAPP>_STATS. The environment settings override the application, with
275 <MYAPP>_STATS having the highest priority.
277 Stats are also enabled if L<< debugging |/"-Debug" >> is enabled.
281 =head2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT REQUEST
285 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
286 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
290 Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the URI prefix
291 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:
293 # in Controller::Foo::Bar
294 $c->namespace; # returns 'foo/bar';
300 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Request> object, giving access to
301 information about the current client request (including parameters,
302 cookies, HTTP headers, etc.). See L<Catalyst::Request>.
304 =head2 REQUEST FLOW HANDLING
306 =head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
308 =head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
310 Forwards processing to another action, by its private name. If you give a
311 class name but no method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally
312 pass arguments in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in
313 C<@_> and C<< $c->req->args >>. Upon returning from the function,
314 C<< $c->req->args >> will be restored to the previous values.
316 Any data C<return>ed from the action forwarded to, will be returned by the
319 my $foodata = $c->forward('/foo');
320 $c->forward('index');
321 $c->forward(qw/Model::DBIC::Foo do_stuff/);
322 $c->forward('View::TT');
324 Note that L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >> implies
325 an C<< eval { } >> around the call (actually
326 L<< execute|/"$c->execute( $class, $coderef )" >> does), thus rendering all
327 exceptions thrown by the called action non-fatal and pushing them onto
328 $c->error instead. If you want C<die> to propagate you need to do something
332 die join "\n", @{ $c->error } if @{ $c->error };
334 Or make sure to always return true values from your actions and write
337 $c->forward('foo') || return;
339 Another note is that C<< $c->forward >> always returns a scalar because it
340 actually returns $c->state which operates in a scalar context.
341 Thus, something like:
345 in an action that is forwarded to is going to return a scalar,
346 i.e. how many items are in that array, which is probably not what you want.
347 If you need to return an array then return a reference to it,
350 $c->stash->{array} = \@array;
352 and access it from the stash.
354 Keep in mind that the C<end> method used is that of the caller action. So a C<$c-E<gt>detach> inside a forwarded action would run the C<end> method from the original action requested.
358 sub forward { my $c = shift; no warnings 'recursion'; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }
360 =head2 $c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )
362 =head2 $c->detach( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
366 The same as L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>, but
367 doesn't return to the previous action when processing is finished.
369 When called with no arguments it escapes the processing chain entirely.
373 sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }
375 =head2 $c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
377 =head2 $c->visit( $class, $method, [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
379 Almost the same as L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>,
380 but does a full dispatch, instead of just calling the new C<$action> /
381 C<< $class->$method >>. This means that C<begin>, C<auto> and the method
382 you go to are called, just like a new request.
384 In addition both C<< $c->action >> and C<< $c->namespace >> are localized.
385 This means, for example, that C<< $c->action >> methods such as
386 L<name|Catalyst::Action/name>, L<class|Catalyst::Action/class> and
387 L<reverse|Catalyst::Action/reverse> return information for the visited action
388 when they are invoked within the visited action. This is different from the
389 behavior of L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>, which
390 continues to use the $c->action object from the caller action even when
391 invoked from the called action.
393 C<< $c->stash >> is kept unchanged.
395 In effect, L<< visit|/"$c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >>
396 allows you to "wrap" another action, just as it would have been called by
397 dispatching from a URL, while the analogous
398 L<< go|/"$c->go( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >> allows you to
399 transfer control to another action as if it had been reached directly from a URL.
403 sub visit { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->visit( $c, @_ ) }
405 =head2 $c->go( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
407 =head2 $c->go( $class, $method, [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
409 The relationship between C<go> and
410 L<< visit|/"$c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >> is the same as
411 the relationship between
412 L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )" >> and
413 L<< detach|/"$c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>. Like C<< $c->visit >>,
414 C<< $c->go >> will perform a full dispatch on the specified action or method,
415 with localized C<< $c->action >> and C<< $c->namespace >>. Like C<detach>,
416 C<go> escapes the processing of the current request chain on completion, and
417 does not return to its caller.
419 @arguments are arguments to the final destination of $action. @captures are
420 arguments to the intermediate steps, if any, on the way to the final sub of
425 sub go { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->go( $c, @_ ) }
431 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Response> object, see there for details.
435 Returns a hashref to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass
436 it between components during a request. You can also set hash keys by
437 passing arguments. The stash is automatically sent to the view. The
438 stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for
439 persistent storage (for this you must use a session; see
440 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Session> for a complete system integrated with
443 $c->stash->{foo} = $bar;
444 $c->stash( { moose => 'majestic', qux => 0 } );
445 $c->stash( bar => 1, gorch => 2 ); # equivalent to passing a hashref
447 # stash is automatically passed to the view for use in a template
448 $c->forward( 'MyApp::View::TT' );
452 around stash => sub {
455 my $stash = $orig->($c);
457 my $new_stash = @_ > 1 ? {@_} : $_[0];
458 croak('stash takes a hash or hashref') unless ref $new_stash;
459 foreach my $key ( keys %$new_stash ) {
460 $stash->{$key} = $new_stash->{$key};
470 =head2 $c->error($error, ...)
472 =head2 $c->error($arrayref)
474 Returns an arrayref containing error messages. If Catalyst encounters an
475 error while processing a request, it stores the error in $c->error. This
476 method should only be used to store fatal error messages.
478 my @error = @{ $c->error };
482 $c->error('Something bad happened');
489 my $error = ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ? $_[0] : [@_];
490 croak @$error unless ref $c;
491 push @{ $c->{error} }, @$error;
493 elsif ( defined $_[0] ) { $c->{error} = undef }
494 return $c->{error} || [];
500 Contains the return value of the last executed action.
501 Note that << $c->state >> operates in a scalar context which means that all
502 values it returns are scalar.
504 =head2 $c->clear_errors
506 Clear errors. You probably don't want to clear the errors unless you are
507 implementing a custom error screen.
509 This is equivalent to running

868 =head2 CLASS DATA AND HELPER CLASSES
872 Returns or takes a hashref containing the application's configuration.
874 __PACKAGE__->config( { db => 'dsn:SQLite:foo.db' } );
876 You can also use a C<YAML>, C<XML> or L<Config::General> config file
877 like C<myapp.conf> in your applications home directory. See
878 L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader>.
880 =head3 Cascading configuration
882 The config method is present on all Catalyst components, and configuration
883 will be merged when an application is started. Configuration loaded with
884 L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader> takes precedence over other configuration,
885 followed by configuration in your top level C<MyApp> class. These two
886 configurations are merged, and then configuration data whose hash key matches a
887 component name is merged with configuration for that component.
889 The configuration for a component is then passed to the C<new> method when a
890 component is constructed.
894 MyApp->config({ 'Model::Foo' => { bar => 'baz', overrides => 'me' } });
895 MyApp::Model::Foo->config({ quux => 'frob', overrides => 'this' });
897 will mean that C<MyApp::Model::Foo> receives the following data when
900 MyApp::Model::Foo->new({
906 It's common practice to use a Moose attribute
907 on the receiving component to access the config value.
909 package MyApp::Model::Foo;
913 # this attr will receive 'baz' at construction time
919 You can then get the value 'baz' by calling $c->model('Foo')->bar
920 (or $self->bar inside code in the model).
922 B<NOTE:> you MUST NOT call C<< $self->config >> or C<< __PACKAGE__->config >>
923 as a way of reading config within your code, as this B<will not> give you the
924 correctly merged config back. You B<MUST> take the config values supplied to
925 the constructor and use those instead.
929 around config => sub {
933 croak('Setting config after setup has been run is not allowed.')
934 if ( @_ and $c->setup_finished );
941 Returns the logging object instance. Unless it is already set, Catalyst
942 sets this up with a L<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class,
943 set the logger with the C<< __PACKAGE__->log >> method prior to calling
944 C<< __PACKAGE__->setup >>.
946 __PACKAGE__->log( MyLogger->new );
951 $c->log->info( 'Now logging with my own logger!' );
953 Your log class should implement the methods described in
959 Returns 1 if debug mode is enabled, 0 otherwise.
961 You can enable debug mode in several ways:
965 =item By calling myapp_server.pl with the -d flag
967 =item With the environment variables MYAPP_DEBUG, or CATALYST_DEBUG
969 =item The -Debug option in your MyApp.pm
971 =item By declaring C<sub debug { 1 }> in your MyApp.pm.
975 The first three also set the log level to 'debug'.
977 Calling C<< $c->debug(1) >> has no effect.
983 =head2 $c->dispatcher
985 Returns the dispatcher instance. See L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>.
989 Returns the engine instance. See L<Catalyst::Engine>.
992 =head2 UTILITY METHODS
994 =head2 $c->path_to(@path)
996 Merges C<@path> with C<< $c->config->{home} >> and returns a
997 L<Path::Class::Dir> object. Note you can usually use this object as
998 a filename, but sometimes you will have to explicitly stringify it
999 yourself by calling the C<< ->stringify >> method.

1240 Constructs an absolute L<URI> object based on the application root, the
1241 provided path, and the additional arguments and query parameters provided.
1242 When used as a string, provides a textual URI. If you need more flexibility
1243 than this (i.e. the option to provide relative URIs etc.) see
1244 L<Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI>.
1246 If no arguments are provided, the URI for the current action is returned.
1247 To return the current action and also provide @args, use
1248 C<< $c->uri_for( $c->action, @args ) >>.
1250 If the first argument is a string, it is taken as a public URI path relative
1251 to C<< $c->namespace >> (if it doesn't begin with a forward slash) or
1252 relative to the application root (if it does). It is then merged with
1253 C<< $c->request->base >>; any C<@args> are appended as additional path
1254 components; and any C<%query_values> are appended as C<?foo=bar> parameters.
1256 If the first argument is a L<Catalyst::Action> it represents an action which
1257 will have its path resolved using C<< $c->dispatcher->uri_for_action >>. The
1258 optional C<\@captures> argument (an arrayref) allows passing the captured
1259 variables that are needed to fill in the paths of Chained and Regex actions;
1260 once the path is resolved, C<uri_for> continues as though a path was
1261 provided, appending any arguments or parameters and creating an absolute
1264 The captures for the current request can be found in
1265 C<< $c->request->captures >>, and actions can be resolved using

2991 =head1 CONFIGURATION
2993 There are a number of 'base' config variables which can be set:
2999 C<default_model> - The default model picked if you say C<< $c->model >>. See L<< /$c->model($name) >>.
3003 C<default_view> - The default view to be rendered or returned when C<< $c->view >> is called. See L<< /$c->view($name) >>.
3007 C<disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback> - Turns
3008 off the deprecated component resolution functionality so
3009 that if any of the component methods (e.g. C<< $c->controller('Foo') >>)
3010 are called then regex search will not be attempted on string values and
3011 instead C<undef> will be returned.
3015 C<home> - The application home directory. In an uninstalled application,
3016 this is the top level application directory. In an installed application,
3017 this will be the directory containing C<< MyApp.pm >>.
3021 C<ignore_frontend_proxy> - See L</PROXY SUPPORT>
3025 C<name> - The name of the application in debug messages and the debug and
3030 C<parse_on_demand> - The request body (for example file uploads) will not be parsed
3031 until it is accessed. This allows you to (for example) check authentication (and reject
3032 the upload) before actually receiving all the data. See L</ON-DEMAND PARSER>
3036 C<root> - The root directory for templates. Usually this is just a
3037 subdirectory of the home directory, but you can set it to change the
3038 templates to a different directory.
3042 C<search_extra> - Array reference passed to Module::Pluggable to for additional
3043 namespaces from which components will be loaded (and constructed and stored in
3044 C<< $c->components >>).
3048 C<show_internal_actions> - If true, causes internal actions such as C<< _DISPATCH >>
3049 to be shown in hit debug tables in the test server.
3053 C<use_request_uri_for_path> - Controls if the C<REQUEST_URI> or C<PATH_INFO> environment
3054 variable should be used for determining the request path.
3056 Most web server environments pass the requested path to the application using environment variables,
3057 from which Catalyst has to reconstruct the request base (i.e. the top level path to / in the application,
3058 exposed as C<< $c->request->base >>) and the request path below that base.
3060 There are two methods of doing this, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. Which method is used
3061 is determined by the C<< $c->config(use_request_uri_for_path) >> setting (which can either be true or false).
3065 =item use_request_uri_for_path => 0
3067 This is the default (and the) traditional method that Catalyst has used for determining the path information.
3068 The path is generated from a combination of the C<PATH_INFO> and C<SCRIPT_NAME> environment variables.
3069 The allows the application to behave correctly when C<mod_rewrite> is being used to redirect requests
3070 into the application, as these variables are adjusted by mod_rewrite to take account for the redirect.
3072 However this method has the major disadvantage that it is impossible to correctly decode some elements
3073 of the path, as RFC 3875 says: "C<< Unlike a URI path, the PATH_INFO is not URL-encoded, and cannot
3074 contain path-segment parameters. >>" This means PATH_INFO is B<always> decoded, and therefore Catalyst
3075 can't distinguish / vs %2F in paths (in addition to other encoded values).
3077 =item use_request_uri_for_path => 1
3079 This method uses the C<REQUEST_URI> and C<SCRIPT_NAME> environment variables. As C<REQUEST_URI> is never
3080 decoded, this means that applications using this mode can correctly handle URIs including the %2F character
3081 (i.e. with C<AllowEncodedSlashes> set to C<On> in Apache).
3083 Given that this method of path resolution is provably more correct, it is recommended that you use
3084 this unless you have a specific need to deploy your application in a non-standard environment, and you are
3085 aware of the implications of not being able to handle encoded URI paths correctly.
3087 However it also means that in a number of cases when the app isn't installed directly at a path, but instead
3088 is having paths rewritten into it (e.g. as a .cgi/fcgi in a public_html directory, with mod_rewrite in a
3089 .htaccess file, or when SSI is used to rewrite pages into the app, or when sub-paths of the app are exposed
3090 at other URIs than that which the app is 'normally' based at with C<mod_rewrite>), the resolution of
3091 C<< $c->request->base >> will be incorrect.
3097 C<using_frontend_proxy> - See L</PROXY SUPPORT>.
3101 =head1 INTERNAL ACTIONS
3103 Catalyst uses internal actions like C<_DISPATCH>, C<_BEGIN>, C<_AUTO>,
3104 C<_ACTION>, and C<_END>. These are by default not shown in the private
3105 action table, but you can make them visible with a config parameter.
3107 MyApp->config(show_internal_actions => 1);
3109 =head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER
3111 The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
3112 but if you want to handle input yourself, you can enable on-demand
3113 parsing with a config parameter.
3115 MyApp->config(parse_on_demand => 1);
3117 =head1 PROXY SUPPORT
3119 Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach,
3120 with a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger
3121 backend server. An application running on the backend server must deal
3122 with two problems: the remote user always appears to be C<127.0.0.1> and
3123 the server's hostname will appear to be C<localhost> regardless of the
3124 virtual host that the user connected through.
3126 Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running
3127 the frontend and backend servers on the same machine. The following
3128 changes are made to the request.
3130 $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from
3131 the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header.
3133 The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real
3134 host, as read from the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header.
3136 Additionally, you may be running your backend application on an insecure
3137 connection (port 80) while your frontend proxy is running under SSL. If there
3138 is a discrepancy in the ports, use the HTTP header C<X-Forwarded-Port> to
3139 tell Catalyst what port the frontend listens on. This will allow all URIs to
3140 be created properly.
3142 In the case of passing in:
3144 X-Forwarded-Port: 443
3146 All calls to C<uri_for> will result in an https link, as is expected.
3148 Obviously, your web server must support these headers for this to work.
3150 In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your
3151 frontend proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a
3152 configuration option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the
3155 MyApp->config(using_frontend_proxy => 1);
3157 If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:
3159 MyApp->config(ignore_frontend_proxy => 0);
3161 =head2 Note about psgi files
3163 Note that if you supply your own .psgi file, calling
3164 C<< MyApp->psgi_app(@_); >>, then B<this will not happen automatically>.
3166 You either need to apply L<Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy> yourself
3167 in your psgi, for example:
3170 enable "Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy";
3174 This will unconditionally add the ReverseProxy support, or you need to call
3175 C<< $app = MyApp->apply_default_middlewares($app) >> (to conditionally
3176 apply the support depending upon your config).
3178 See L<Catalyst::PSGI> for more information.
3180 =head1 THREAD SAFETY
3182 Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading C<mpm_worker>,
3183 C<mpm_winnt>, and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows. We
3184 believe the Catalyst core to be thread-safe.
3186 If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
3187 modules you are using must also be thread-safe. Some modules, most notably
3188 L<DBD::SQLite>, are not thread-safe.
