165 See L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro> for additional information.
169 The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
171 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.
173 Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use
174 Catalyst" statement. Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the
175 plugin name, i.e., C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes
178 use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
180 Special flags like C<-Debug> and C<-Engine> can also be specified as
181 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
183 use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
185 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because
186 they are loaded in exactly the order in which they appear.
188 The following flags are supported:
192 Enables debug output.
196 Forces Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the
197 C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:
199 use Catalyst qw/-Engine=CGI/;
203 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
205 use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/sri];
213 =head2 Information about the current request
217 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
218 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
222 Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the uri prefix
223 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:
225 # in Controller::Foo::Bar
226 $c->namespace; # returns 'foo/bar';
232 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Request> object. See
233 L<Catalyst::Request>.
235 =head2 Processing and response to the current request
237 =head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
239 =head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
241 Forwards processing to a private action. If you give a class name but no
242 method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally pass arguments
243 in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in C<@_> and
244 C<$c-E<gt>req-E<gt>args>. Upon returning from the function,
245 C<$c-E<gt>req-E<gt>args> will be restored to the previous values.
248 $c->forward('index');
249 $c->forward(qw/MyApp::Model::CDBI::Foo do_stuff/);
250 $c->forward('MyApp::View::TT');
254 sub forward { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }
256 =head2 $c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )
258 =head2 $c->detach( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
260 The same as C<forward>, but doesn't return.
264 sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }
268 =head2 $c->error($error, ...)
270 =head2 $c->error($arrayref)
272 Returns an arrayref containing error messages. If Catalyst encounters an
273 error while processing a request, it stores the error in $c->error. This
274 method should not be used to store non-fatal error messages.
276 my @error = @{ $c->error };
280 $c->error('Something bad happened');
282 Clear errors. You probably don't want to clear the errors unless you are
283 implementing a custom error screen.
292 my $error = ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ? $_[0] : [@_];
293 push @{ $c->{error} }, @$error;
295 elsif ( defined $_[0] ) { $c->{error} = undef }
296 return $c->{error} || [];
303 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Response> object.
307 Returns a hashref to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass
308 it between components during a request. You can also set hash keys by
309 passing arguments. The stash is automatically sent to the view. The
310 stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for
313 $c->stash->{foo} = $bar;
314 $c->stash( { moose => 'majestic', qux => 0 } );
315 $c->stash( bar => 1, gorch => 2 ); # equivalent to passing a hashref
317 # stash is automatically passed to the view for use in a template
318 $c->forward( 'MyApp::V::TT' );
325 my $stash = @_ > 1 ? {@_} : $_[0];
326 while ( my ( $key, $val ) = each %$stash ) {
327 $c->{stash}->{$key} = $val;
335 Contains the return value of the last executed action.
337 =head2 Component Accessors
339 =head2 $c->comp($name)
341 =head2 $c->component($name)
343 Gets a component object by name. This method is no longer recommended,
344 unless you want to get a specific component by full
345 class. C<$c-E<gt>controller>, C<$c-E<gt>model>, and C<$c-E<gt>view>
346 should be used instead.
357 my $appclass = ref $c || $c;
360 $name, "${appclass}::${name}",
361 map { "${appclass}::${_}::${name}" }
362 qw/Model M Controller C View V/
365 foreach my $try (@names) {
367 if ( exists $c->components->{$try} ) {
369 return $c->components->{$try};
373 foreach my $component ( keys %{ $c->components } ) {
375 return $c->components->{$component} if $component =~ /$name/i;
380 return sort keys %{ $c->components };
383 =head2 $c->controller($name)
385 Gets a L<Catalyst::Controller> instance by name.
387 $c->controller('Foo')->do_stuff;
392 my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
393 my $controller = $c->comp("Controller::$name");
394 return $controller if defined $controller;
395 return $c->comp("C::$name");
398 =head2 $c->model($name)
400 Gets a L<Catalyst::Model> instance by name.
402 $c->model('Foo')->do_stuff;
407 my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
408 my $model = $c->comp("Model::$name");
409 return $model if defined $model;
410 return $c->comp("M::$name");

417 $c->view('Foo')->do_stuff;
422 my ( $c, $name ) = @_;
423 my $view = $c->comp("View::$name");
424 return $view if defined $view;
425 return $c->comp("V::$name");
428 =head2 Class data and helper classes
432 Returns or takes a hashref containing the application's configuration.
434 __PACKAGE__->config({ db => 'dsn:SQLite:foo.db' });
438 Overload to enable debug messages (same as -Debug option).
444 =head2 $c->dispatcher
446 Returns the dispatcher instance. Stringifies to class name. See
447 L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>.
451 Returns the engine instance. Stringifies to the class name. See
456 Returns the logging object instance. Unless it is already set, Catalyst
457 sets this up with a L<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class:
459 $c->log( MyLogger->new );
460 $c->log->info( 'Now logging with my own logger!' );
462 Your log class should implement the methods described in the
463 L<Catalyst::Log> man page.
467 =head2 Utility methods
469 =head2 $c->path_to(@path)
471 Merges C<@path> with C<$c-E<gt>config-E<gt>{home}> and returns a
472 L<Path::Class> object.
476 $c->path_to( 'db', 'sqlite.db' );
481 my ( $c, @path ) = @_;
482 my $path = dir( $c->config->{home}, @path );
483 if ( -d $path ) { return $path }
484 else { return file( $c->config->{home}, @path ) }
487 =head2 $c->plugin( $name, $class, @args )
489 Helper method for plugins. It creates a classdata accessor/mutator and
490 loads and instantiates the given class.
492 MyApp->plugin( 'prototype', 'HTML::Prototype' );

784 <img src="$logo" alt="Catalyst Logo" />
786 <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of Catalyst.
787 This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVC">MVC</a>
788 framework will make web development something you had
789 never expected it to be: Fun, rewarding, and quick.</p>
790 <h2>What to do now?</h2>
791 <p>That really depends on what <b>you</b> want to do.
792 We do, however, provide you with a few starting points.</p>
793 <p>If you want to jump right into web development with Catalyst
794 you might want to check out the documentation.</p>
795 <pre><code>perldoc <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Intro.pod">Catalyst::Manual::Intro</a>
796 perldoc <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/dist/Catalyst/lib/Catalyst/Manual.pod">Catalyst::Manual</a></code></pre>
797 <h2>What to do next?</h2>
798 <p>Next it's time to write an actual application. Use the
799 helper scripts to generate <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AController%3A%3A&mode=all">controllers</a>,
800 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AModel%3A%3A&mode=all">models</a>, and
801 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AView%3A%3A&mode=all">views</a>;
802 they can save you a lot of work.</p>
803 <pre><code>script/${prefix}_create.pl -help</code></pre>
804 <p>Also, be sure to check out the vast and growing
805 collection of <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3APlugin%3A%3A&mode=all">plugins for Catalyst on CPAN</a>;
806 you are likely to find what you need there.
810 <p>Catalyst has a very active community. Here are the main places to
811 get in touch with us.</p>

820 <a href="irc://irc.perl.org/catalyst">IRC channel #catalyst on irc.perl.org</a>
823 <h2>In conclusion</h2>
824 <p>The Catalyst team hopes you will enjoy using Catalyst as much
825 as we enjoyed making it. Please contact us if you have ideas
826 for improvement or other feedback.</p>

1839 =head1 INTERNAL ACTIONS
1841 Catalyst uses internal actions like C<_DISPATCH>, C<_BEGIN>, C<_AUTO>,
1842 C<_ACTION>, and C<_END>. These are by default not shown in the private
1843 action table, but you can make them visible with a config parameter.
1845 MyApp->config->{show_internal_actions} = 1;
1847 =head1 CASE SENSITIVITY
1849 By default Catalyst is not case sensitive, so C<MyApp::C::FOO::Bar> is
1850 mapped to C</foo/bar>. You can activate case sensitivity with a config
1853 MyApp->config->{case_sensitive} = 1;
1855 This causes C<MyApp::C::Foo::Bar> to map to C</Foo/Bar>.
1857 =head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER
1859 The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
1860 but if you want to handle input yourself or speed things up a bit,
1861 you can enable on-demand parsing with a config parameter.
1863 MyApp->config->{parse_on_demand} = 1;
1865 =head1 PROXY SUPPORT
1867 Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach,
1868 with a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger
1869 backend server. An application running on the backend server must deal
1870 with two problems: the remote user always appears to be C<127.0.0.1> and
1871 the server's hostname will appear to be C<localhost> regardless of the
1872 virtual host that the user connected through.
1874 Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running
1875 the frontend and backend servers on the same machine. The following
1876 changes are made to the request.
1878 $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from
1879 the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header.
1881 The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real
1882 host, as read from the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header.
1884 Obviously, your web server must support these headers for this to work.
1886 In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your
1887 frontend proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a
1888 configuration option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the
1891 MyApp->config->{using_frontend_proxy} = 1;
1893 If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:
1895 MyApp->config->{ignore_frontend_proxy} = 1;
1897 =head1 THREAD SAFETY
1899 Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading mpm_worker, mpm_winnt,
1900 and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows. We believe the Catalyst
1901 core to be thread-safe.
1903 If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
1904 modules you are using must also be thread-safe. Some modules, most notably
1905 L<DBD::SQLite>, are not thread-safe.
