234763d4 70 package MyApp::Controller::Search
a269e0c2 71 use base qw/Catalyst::Controller/;

5ee249f2 77
78=head1 DESCRIPTION
79
a269e0c2 80Controllers are where the actions in the Catalyst framework
81reside. Each action is represented by a function with an attribute to
82identify what kind of action it is. See the L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>
83for more info about how Catalyst dispatches to actions.

469=head1 CONFIGURATION
470
a269e0c2 471Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
472accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
473settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
234763d4 474
475=head2 namespace
476
a269e0c2 477This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
478to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
479controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
480will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
481of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
234763d4 482
27ae4114 483=head2 path
234763d4 484
485Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
486
0a2577a8 487=head2 action
488
489Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
490This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
f4dda4a8 491attribute definitions of actions composed from Roles.
0a2577a8 492You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
493specifically (for a single action).
494
495 __PACKAGE__->config(
496 action => {
497 '*' => { Chained => 'base', Args => 0 },
498 base => { Chained => '/', PathPart => '', CaptureArgs => 0 },
499 },
500 );
501
502In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
503endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
504to the sub named C<base>. Ergo dispatch to C</example> would call the
505C<base> method, then the C<example> method.
506
c8136648 507=head2 action_args
508
4d4e5de8 509Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
0a2577a8 510globally and specifically (as above).
511This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
b939ae6b 512(L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.

b939ae6b 521In the case above the action class associated with C<specific_action> would get
522passed the following arguments, in addition to the normal action constructor

534=head2 $self->action_for('name')
535
a269e0c2 536Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name

234763d4 539=head2 $self->action_namespace($c)
540
a269e0c2 541Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
542to a value from the controller name (for
543e.g. MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes "foo/bar") or can be
544overridden from the "namespace" config key.
234763d4 545
546
547=head2 $self->path_prefix($c)
548
e5d2cfdb 549Returns the default path prefix for :PathPrefix, :Local, :LocalRegex and
550relative :Path actions in this component. Defaults to the action_namespace or
a269e0c2 551can be overridden from the "path" config key.
234763d4 552
c4d02967 553=head2 $self->register_actions($c)
554
555Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates
556Catalyst::Action objects (using $self->create_action) for them and
557registers them with $c->dispatcher.
558
559=head2 $self->get_action_methods()
560
561Returns a list of L<Moose::Meta::Method> objects, doing the
562L<MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role::Meta::Method> role, which are the set of
563action methods for this package.
564
565=head2 $self->register_action_methods($c, @methods)
566
567Creates action objects for a set of action methods using C< create_action >,
568and registers them with the dispatcher.
569
f0a9b791 570=head2 $self->action_class(%args)
571
572Used when a controller is creating an action to determine the correct base
24d2dfaf 573action class to use.
f0a9b791 574
234763d4 575=head2 $self->create_action(%args)
576
a269e0c2 577Called with a hash of data to be use for construction of a new
578Catalyst::Action (or appropriate sub/alternative class) object.

a269e0c2 580=head2 $self->_application
234763d4 581
582=head2 $self->_app
583
