=head1 DESCRIPTION

The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).

See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.

Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use Catalyst" statement.
Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the plugin name,
so C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes C<My::Module>.

    use Catalyst 'My::Module';

Special flags like -Debug and -Engine can also be specified as arguments when
Catalyst is loaded:

    use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;

The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because they are
loaded in exactly the order that they appear.

The following flags are supported:

=over 4

=item -Debug

enables debug output, i.e.:

    use Catalyst '-Debug';

this is equivalent to:

    use Catalyst;
    sub debug { 1 }

=item -Engine

Force Catalyst to use a specific engine.
Omit the C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:

    use Catalyst '-Engine=CGI';

=item -Home

Force Catalyst to use a specific home directory.

=item -Log

Specify log level.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item $c->action

Accessor for the current action. Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object,
which stringifies to the action name.

=item $c->comp($name)

=item $c->component($name)

Get a component object by name.

    $c->comp('MyApp::Model::MyModel')->do_stuff;

=cut

sub component {
    my $c = shift;

    if (@_) {

        my $name = shift;

        my $appclass = ref $c || $c;

        my @names = (
            $name, "${appclass}::${name}",
            map { "${appclass}::${_}::${name}" } qw/M V C/
        );

        foreach my $try (@names) {

            if ( exists $c->components->{$try} ) {

                return $c->components->{$try};
            }
        }

        foreach my $component ( keys %{ $c->components } ) {

            return $c->components->{$component} if $component =~ /$name/i;
        }

    }

    return sort keys %{ $c->components };
}

=item config

Returns a hashref containing your applications settings.

=cut

=item $c->controller($name)

Get a L<Catalyst::Controller> instance by name.

    $c->controller('Foo')->do_stuff;

=cut

sub controller {
    my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
    my $controller = $c->comp("Controller::$name");
    return $controller if $controller;
    return $c->comp("C::$name");
}

=item debug

Overload to enable debug messages.

=cut

sub debug { 0 }

=item $c->detach( $command [, \@arguments ] )

Like C<forward> but doesn't return.

=cut

sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }

=item $c->dispatcher

Contains the dispatcher instance. Stringifies to class name.

=item $c->forward( $command [, \@arguments ] )

Forward processing to a private action or a method from a class.
If you define a class without method it will default to process().
also takes an optional arrayref containing arguments to be passed
to the new function. $c->req->args will be restored upon returning 
from the function.

    $c->forward('/foo');
    $c->forward('index');
    $c->forward(qw/MyApp::Model::CDBI::Foo do_stuff/);
    $c->forward('MyApp::View::TT');

=cut

sub forward { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }

=item $c->model($name)

Get a L<Catalyst::Model> instance by name.

    $c->model('Foo')->do_stuff;

=cut

sub model {
    my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
    my $model = $c->comp("Model::$name");
    return $model if $model;
    return $c->comp("M::$name");
}

=item $c->namespace

Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the uri prefix corresponding to the 
controller of the current action.

=item $c->path_to(@path)

Merges C<@path> with $c->config->{home} and returns a L<Path::Class> object.

For example:

    $c->path_to( 'db', 'sqlite.db' );

=cut

sub path_to {
    my ( $c, @path ) = @_;
    my $path = dir( $c->config->{home}, @path );
    if ( -d $path ) { return $path }
    else { return file( $c->config->{home}, @path ) }
}

=item $c->setup

Initializes the dispatcher and engine, loads any plugins, and loads the
model, view, and controller components.

    $c->setup;

=cut

sub setup {
    my ( $class, @arguments ) = @_;

    unless ( $class->isa('Catalyst') ) {

        Catalyst::Exception->throw(
            message => qq/'$class' does not inherit from Catalyst/ );

        }
        else {

        }
    }

    $class->setup_log( delete $flags->{log} );

    $class->setup_dispatcher( delete $flags->{dispatcher} );
    $class->setup_engine( delete $flags->{engine} );

    for my $flag ( sort keys %{$flags} ) {

        if ( my $code = $class->can( 'setup_' . $flag ) ) {

Merges path with $c->request->base for absolute uri's and with

L<URI> object. If any args are passed, they are added at the end

Clear errors.

=item $c->engine

Contains the engine instance. Stringifies to the class name.

=item $c->log

Contains the logging object.  Unless it is already set Catalyst sets this up with a
L<Catalyst::Log> object.  To use your own log class:

    $c->log( MyLogger->new );
    $c->log->info("now logging with my own logger!");

Your log class should implement the methods described in the L<Catalyst::Log>
man page.

=item $c->plugin( $name, $class, @args )

=item $c->stack

Contains the stack.

=item $c->write( $data )

Writes $data to the output stream.  When using this method directly, you will
need to manually set the Content-Length header to the length of your output
data, if known.

=cut

=item version

Returns the Catalyst version number. Mostly useful for "powered by" messages
in template systems.

=cut

=head1 INTERNAL ACTIONS

Catalyst uses internal actions like C<_DISPATCH>, C<_BEGIN>, C<_AUTO>
C<_ACTION> and C<_END>, these are by default not shown in the private
action table.

But you can deactivate this with a config parameter.

    MyApp->config->{show_internal_actions} = 1;

=head1 CASE SENSITIVITY

By default Catalyst is not case sensitive, so C<MyApp::C::FOO::Bar> becomes
C</foo/bar>.

But you can activate case sensitivity with a config parameter.

    MyApp->config->{case_sensitive} = 1;

So C<MyApp::C::Foo::Bar> becomes C</Foo/Bar>.

=head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER

The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
but if you want to handle input yourself or speed things up a bit
you can enable on-demand parsing with a config parameter.

    MyApp->config->{parse_on_demand} = 1;
    
=head1 PROXY SUPPORT

Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach, with
a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger backend
server.  An application running on the backend server must deal with two
problems: the remote user always appears to be '127.0.0.1' and the server's
hostname will appear to be 'localhost' regardless of the virtual host the
user connected through.

Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running both
the frontend and backend servers on the same machine.  The following changes
are made to the request.

    $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from the
    HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header.
    
    The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real host,
    as read from the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST header.

Obviously, your web server must support these 2 headers for this to work.

In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your frontend
proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a configuration
option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the headers.

    MyApp->config->{using_frontend_proxy} = 1;
    
If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:

    MyApp->config->{ignore_frontend_proxy} = 1;

=head1 THREAD SAFETY

Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading mpm_worker, mpm_winnt,
and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows.  We believe the Catalyst
core to be thread-safe.

If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
modules you are using must also be thread-safe.  Some modules, most notably
DBD::SQLite, are not thread-safe.
