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.

430
431=head1 CONFIGURATION
432
a269e0c2 433Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
434accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
435settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
234763d4 436
437=head2 namespace
438
a269e0c2 439This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
440to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
441controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
442will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
443of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
234763d4 444
27ae4114 445=head2 path
234763d4 446
447Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
448
0a2577a8 449=head2 action
450
451Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
452This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
453attribute defintions of actions composed from Roles.
454You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
455specifically (for a single action).
456
457 __PACKAGE__->config(
458 action => {
459 '*' => { Chained => 'base', Args => 0 },
460 base => { Chained => '/', PathPart => '', CaptureArgs => 0 },
461 },
462 );
463
464In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
465endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
466to the sub named C<base>. Ergo dispatch to C</example> would call the
467C<base> method, then the C<example> method.
468
c8136648 469=head2 action_args
470
4d4e5de8 471Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
0a2577a8 472globally and specifically (as above).
473This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
b939ae6b 474(L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.
c8136648 475
b939ae6b 476 __PACKAGE__->config(
c8136648 477 action_args => {
b939ae6b 478 '*' => { globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye' },
479 'specific_action' => { customarg => 'arg1' },
cea3f28a 480 },
b939ae6b 481 );
cea3f28a 482
b939ae6b 483In the case above the action class associated with C<specific_action> would get
484passed the following arguments, in addition to the normal action constructor
485arguments, when it is instantiated:
486
487 (globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye', customarg => 'arg1')

234763d4 492

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