54
234763d4 55 package MyApp::Controller::Search
a269e0c2 56 use base qw/Catalyst::Controller/;

27ae4114 58 sub foo : Local {

5ee249f2 62
63=head1 DESCRIPTION
64
a269e0c2 65Controllers are where the actions in the Catalyst framework
66reside. Each action is represented by a function with an attribute to
67identify what kind of action it is. See the L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>
68for more info about how Catalyst dispatches to actions.

442=head1 CONFIGURATION
443
a269e0c2 444Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
445accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
446settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
234763d4 447
448=head2 namespace
449
a269e0c2 450This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
451to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
452controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
453will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
454of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
234763d4 455
27ae4114 456=head2 path
234763d4 457
458Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
459
0a2577a8 460=head2 action
461
462Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
463This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
464attribute defintions of actions composed from Roles.
465You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
466specifically (for a single action).
467
468 __PACKAGE__->config(
469 action => {
470 '*' => { Chained => 'base', Args => 0 },
471 base => { Chained => '/', PathPart => '', CaptureArgs => 0 },
472 },
473 );
474
475In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
476endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
477to the sub named C<base>. Ergo dispatch to C</example> would call the
478C<base> method, then the C<example> method.
479
c8136648 480=head2 action_args
481
4d4e5de8 482Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
0a2577a8 483globally and specifically (as above).
484This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
b939ae6b 485(L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.
c8136648 486
b939ae6b 487 __PACKAGE__->config(
c8136648 488 action_args => {
b939ae6b 489 '*' => { globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye' },
490 'specific_action' => { customarg => 'arg1' },
cea3f28a 491 },
b939ae6b 492 );
cea3f28a 493
b939ae6b 494In the case above the action class associated with C<specific_action> would get
495passed the following arguments, in addition to the normal action constructor
496arguments, when it is instantiated:
497
498 (globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye', customarg => 'arg1')
