51Catalyst::Controller - Catalyst Controller base class

53=head1 SYNOPSIS
54
234763d4 55 package MyApp::Controller::Search
a269e0c2 56 use base qw/Catalyst::Controller/;
234763d4 57
27ae4114 58 sub foo : Local {

27ae4114 60 ...
234763d4 61 } # Dispatches to /search/foo
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.

440
441=head1 CONFIGURATION
442
a269e0c2 443Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
444accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
445settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
234763d4 446
447=head2 namespace
448
a269e0c2 449This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
450to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
451controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
452will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
453of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
234763d4 454
27ae4114 455=head2 path
234763d4 456
457Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
458
0a2577a8 459=head2 action
460
461Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
462This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
463attribute defintions of actions composed from Roles.
464You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
465specifically (for a single action).
466
467 __PACKAGE__->config(
468 action => {
469 '*' => { Chained => 'base', Args => 0 },
470 base => { Chained => '/', PathPart => '', CaptureArgs => 0 },
471 },
472 );
473
474In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
475endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
476to the sub named C<base>. Ergo dispatch to C</example> would call the
477C<base> method, then the C<example> method.
478
c8136648 479=head2 action_args
480
4d4e5de8 481Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
0a2577a8 482globally and specifically (as above).
483This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
b939ae6b 484(L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.
c8136648 485
b939ae6b 486 __PACKAGE__->config(
c8136648 487 action_args => {
b939ae6b 488 '*' => { globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye' },
489 'specific_action' => { customarg => 'arg1' },
cea3f28a 490 },
b939ae6b 491 );
cea3f28a 492
b939ae6b 493In the case above the action class associated with C<specific_action> would get
494passed the following arguments, in addition to the normal action constructor
495arguments, when it is instantiated:
496
497 (globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye', customarg => 'arg1')

234763d4 499=head1 METHODS
500
c4d02967 501=head2 BUILDARGS ($app, @args)
234763d4 502
c4d02967 503From L<Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute>, stashes the application
504instance as $self->_application.
234763d4 505
506=head2 $self->action_for('name')
507
a269e0c2 508Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name
509in this component.
234763d4 510
234763d4 511=head2 $self->action_namespace($c)
512
a269e0c2 513Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
514to a value from the controller name (for
515e.g. MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes "foo/bar") or can be
516overridden from the "namespace" config key.
234763d4 517
518
519=head2 $self->path_prefix($c)
520
e5d2cfdb 521Returns the default path prefix for :PathPrefix, :Local, :LocalRegex and
