54
234763d4 55 package MyApp::Controller::Search
a269e0c2 56 use base qw/Catalyst::Controller/;
234763d4 57
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.

434
435=head1 CONFIGURATION
436
a269e0c2 437Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
438accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
439settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
234763d4 440
441=head2 namespace
442
a269e0c2 443This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
444to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
445controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
446will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
447of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
234763d4 448
27ae4114 449=head2 path
234763d4 450
451Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
452
0a2577a8 453=head2 action
454
455Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
456This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
457attribute defintions of actions composed from Roles.
458You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
459specifically (for a single action).
460
461 __PACKAGE__->config(
462 action => {
463 '*' => { Chained => 'base', Args => 0 },
464 base => { Chained => '/', PathPart => '', CaptureArgs => 0 },
465 },
466 );
467
468In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
469endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
470to the sub named C<base>. Ergo dispatch to C</example> would call the
471C<base> method, then the C<example> method.
472
c8136648 473=head2 action_args
474
4d4e5de8 475Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
0a2577a8 476globally and specifically (as above).
477This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
b939ae6b 478(L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.
c8136648 479
b939ae6b 480 __PACKAGE__->config(
c8136648 481 action_args => {
b939ae6b 482 '*' => { globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye' },
483 'specific_action' => { customarg => 'arg1' },
cea3f28a 484 },
b939ae6b 485 );
cea3f28a 486
b939ae6b 487In the case above the action class associated with C<specific_action> would get
488passed the following arguments, in addition to the normal action constructor
489arguments, when it is instantiated:
490
491 (globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye', customarg => 'arg1')

234763d4 493=head1 METHODS
494
c4d02967 495=head2 BUILDARGS ($app, @args)
234763d4 496
c4d02967 497From L<Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute>, stashes the application
498instance as $self->_application.
234763d4 499
500=head2 $self->action_for('name')
501
a269e0c2 502Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name
503in this component.
234763d4 504
234763d4 505=head2 $self->action_namespace($c)
506
a269e0c2 507Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
508to a value from the controller name (for
509e.g. MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes "foo/bar") or can be
510overridden from the "namespace" config key.
234763d4 511
512
513=head2 $self->path_prefix($c)
514
e5d2cfdb 515Returns the default path prefix for :PathPrefix, :Local, :LocalRegex and
