48=head1 DESCRIPTION
49
ac5c933b 50This is the universal base class for Catalyst components
158c88c0 51(Model/View/Controller).
52
53It provides you with a generic new() for instantiation through Catalyst's
54component loader with config() support and a process() method placeholder.

7cd1a42b 130=head1 METHODS
baf6a3db 131
7cd1a42b 132=head2 new($c, $arguments)
baf6a3db 133
7cd1a42b 134Called by COMPONENT to instantiate the component; should return an object
135to be stored in the application's component hash.
136
137=head2 COMPONENT($c, $arguments)
138
139If this method is present (as it is on all Catalyst::Component subclasses,
140it is called by Catalyst during setup_components with the application class
141as $c and any config entry on the application for this component (for example,
142in the case of MyApp::Controller::Foo this would be
ac5c933b 143MyApp->config->{'Controller::Foo'}). The arguments are expected to be a
144hashref and are merged with the __PACKAGE__->config hashref before calling
7cd1a42b 145->new to instantiate the component.
146
147=head2 $c->config
148
149=head2 $c->config($hashref)
150
151=head2 $c->config($key, $value, ...)
152
ac5c933b 153Accessor for this component's config hash. Config values can be set as
7cd1a42b 154key value pair, or you can specify a hashref. In either case the keys
ac5c933b 155will be merged with any existing config settings. Each component in
7cd1a42b 156a Catalyst application has it's own config hash.
157
158=head2 $c->process()
159
160This is the default method called on a Catalyst component in the dispatcher.
ac5c933b 161For instance, Views implement this action to render the response body
7cd1a42b 162when you forward to them. The default is an abstract method.
163
164=head2 $c->merge_config_hashes( $hashref, $hashref )
165
166Merges two hashes together recursively, giving right-hand precedence.
167Alias for the method in L<Catalyst::Utils>.
baf6a3db 168
825dbf85 169=head1 OPTIONAL METHODS
170
171=head2 ACCEPT_CONTEXT($c, @args)
172
f9c35d6c 173Catalyst components are normally initialized during server startup, either
825dbf85 174as a Class or a Instance. However, some components require information about
175the current request. To do so, they can implement an ACCEPT_CONTEXT method.
176
177If this method is present, it is called during $c->comp/controller/model/view
178with the current $c and any additional args (e.g. $c->model('Foo', qw/bar baz/)
179would cause your MyApp::Model::Foo instance's ACCEPT_CONTEXT to be called with
180($c, 'bar', 'baz')) and the return value of this method is returned to the
181calling code in the application rather than the component itself.
