183 Catalyst is a modern framework for making web applications without the
184 pain usually associated with this process. This document is a reference
185 to the main Catalyst application. If you are a new user, we suggest you
186 start with L<Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial> or L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro>.
188 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.
190 Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use
191 Catalyst" statement. Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the
192 plugin name, i.e., C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes
195 use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
197 If your plugin starts with a name other than C<Catalyst::Plugin::>, you can
198 fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:
202 +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
205 Special flags like C<-Debug> and C<-Engine> can also be specified as
206 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
208 use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
210 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because
211 they are loaded in the order in which they appear.
213 The following flags are supported:
217 Enables debug output. You can also force this setting from the system
218 environment with CATALYST_DEBUG or <MYAPP>_DEBUG. The environment
219 settings override the application, with <MYAPP>_DEBUG having the highest
224 Forces Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the
225 C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:
227 use Catalyst qw/-Engine=CGI/;
231 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
233 use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/mst];
235 This can also be done in the shell environment by setting either the
236 C<CATALYST_HOME> environment variable or C<MYAPP_HOME>; where C<MYAPP>
237 is replaced with the uppercased name of your application, any "::" in
238 the name will be replaced with underscores, e.g. MyApp::Web should use
239 MYAPP_WEB_HOME. If both variables are set, the MYAPP_HOME one will be used.
247 Enables statistics collection and reporting. You can also force this setting
248 from the system environment with CATALYST_STATS or <MYAPP>_STATS. The
249 environment settings override the application, with <MYAPP>_STATS having the
254 use Catalyst qw/-Stats=1/
258 =head2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT REQUEST
262 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
263 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
267 Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the URI prefix
268 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:
270 # in Controller::Foo::Bar
271 $c->namespace; # returns 'foo/bar';
277 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Request> object, giving access to
278 information about the current client request (including parameters,
279 cookies, HTTP headers, etc.). See L<Catalyst::Request>.
281 =head2 REQUEST FLOW HANDLING
283 =head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
285 =head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
287 Forwards processing to another action, by its private name. If you give a
288 class name but no method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally
289 pass arguments in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in
290 C<@_> and C<< $c->req->args >>. Upon returning from the function,
291 C<< $c->req->args >> will be restored to the previous values.
293 Any data C<return>ed from the action forwarded to, will be returned by the
296 my $foodata = $c->forward('/foo');
297 $c->forward('index');
298 $c->forward(qw/MyApp::Model::DBIC::Foo do_stuff/);
299 $c->forward('MyApp::View::TT');
301 Note that forward implies an C<<eval { }>> around the call (actually
302 C<execute> does), thus de-fatalizing all 'dies' within the called
303 action. If you want C<die> to propagate you need to do something like:
306 die $c->error if $c->error;
308 Or make sure to always return true values from your actions and write
311 $c->forward('foo') || return;
315 sub forward { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }
317 =head2 $c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )
319 =head2 $c->detach( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
323 The same as C<forward>, but doesn't return to the previous action when
324 processing is finished.
326 When called with no arguments it escapes the processing chain entirely.
330 sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }
336 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Response> object, see there for details.
340 Returns a hashref to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass
341 it between components during a request. You can also set hash keys by
342 passing arguments. The stash is automatically sent to the view. The
343 stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for
344 persistent storage (for this you must use a session; see
345 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Session> for a complete system integrated with
348 $c->stash->{foo} = $bar;
349 $c->stash( { moose => 'majestic', qux => 0 } );
350 $c->stash( bar => 1, gorch => 2 ); # equivalent to passing a hashref
352 # stash is automatically passed to the view for use in a template
353 $c->forward( 'MyApp::View::TT' );
360 my $stash = @_ > 1 ? {@_} : $_[0];
361 croak('stash takes a hash or hashref') unless ref $stash;
362 foreach my $key ( keys %$stash ) {
363 $c->{stash}->{$key} = $stash->{$key};
371 =head2 $c->error($error, ...)
373 =head2 $c->error($arrayref)
375 Returns an arrayref containing error messages. If Catalyst encounters an
376 error while processing a request, it stores the error in $c->error. This
377 method should only be used to store fatal error messages.
379 my @error = @{ $c->error };
383 $c->error('Something bad happened');
390 my $error = ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ? $_[0] : [@_];
391 croak @$error unless ref $c;
392 push @{ $c->{error} }, @$error;
394 elsif ( defined $_[0] ) { $c->{error} = undef }
395 return $c->{error} || [];
401 Contains the return value of the last executed action.
403 =head2 $c->clear_errors
405 Clear errors. You probably don't want to clear the errors unless you are
406 implementing a custom error screen.

691 sets this up with a L<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class,

693 C<< __PACKAGE__->setup >>.

702 Your log class should implement the methods described in
708 Overload to enable debug messages (same as -Debug option).
710 Note that this is a static method, not an accessor and should be overloaded
711 by declaring "sub debug { 1 }" in your MyApp.pm, not by calling $c->debug(1).

1086 <img src="$logo" alt="Catalyst Logo" />
1088 <p>Welcome to the world of Catalyst.
1089 This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVC">MVC</a>
1090 framework will make web development something you had
1091 never expected it to be: Fun, rewarding, and quick.</p>
1092 <h2>What to do now?</h2>
1093 <p>That really depends on what <b>you</b> want to do.
1094 We do, however, provide you with a few starting points.</p>
1095 <p>If you want to jump right into web development with Catalyst
1096 you might want want to start with a tutorial.</p>
1097 <pre>perldoc <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/dist/Catalyst-Manual/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial.pod">Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial</a></code>
1099 <p>Afterwards you can go on to check out a more complete look at our features.</p>
1101 <code>perldoc <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/dist/Catalyst-Manual/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Intro.pod">Catalyst::Manual::Intro</a>
1102 <!-- Something else should go here, but the Catalyst::Manual link seems unhelpful -->
1104 <h2>What to do next?</h2>
1105 <p>Next it's time to write an actual application. Use the
1106 helper scripts to generate <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AController%3A%3A&mode=all">controllers</a>,
1107 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AModel%3A%3A&mode=all">models</a>, and
1108 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AView%3A%3A&mode=all">views</a>;
1109 they can save you a lot of work.</p>
1110 <pre><code>script/${prefix}_create.pl -help</code></pre>
1111 <p>Also, be sure to check out the vast and growing
1112 collection of <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3APlugin%3A%3A&mode=all">plugins for Catalyst on CPAN</a>;
1113 you are likely to find what you need there.
1117 <p>Catalyst has a very active community. Here are the main places to
1118 get in touch with us.</p>

2142 If passed a given plugin name, it will report a boolean value indicating

2197 Returns an arrayref of the internal execution stack (actions that are
2198 currently executing).
2200 =head2 $c->stats_class
2202 Returns or sets the stats (timing statistics) class.
2204 =head2 $c->use_stats
2206 Returns 1 when stats collection is enabled. Stats collection is enabled
2207 when the -Stats options is set, debug is on or when the <MYAPP>_STATS
2208 environment variable is set.
2210 Note that this is a static method, not an accessor and should be overloaded
2211 by declaring "sub use_stats { 1 }" in your MyApp.pm, not by calling $c->use_stats(1).
2218 =head2 $c->write( $data )
2220 Writes $data to the output stream. When using this method directly, you
2221 will need to manually set the C<Content-Length> header to the length of
2222 your output data, if known.
2229 # Finalize headers if someone manually writes output
2230 $c->finalize_headers;
2232 return $c->engine->write( $c, @_ );
2237 Returns the Catalyst version number. Mostly useful for "powered by"
2238 messages in template systems.
2242 sub version { return $Catalyst::VERSION }
2244 =head1 INTERNAL ACTIONS
2246 Catalyst uses internal actions like C<_DISPATCH>, C<_BEGIN>, C<_AUTO>,
2247 C<_ACTION>, and C<_END>. These are by default not shown in the private
2248 action table, but you can make them visible with a config parameter.
2250 MyApp->config->{show_internal_actions} = 1;
2252 =head1 CASE SENSITIVITY
2254 By default Catalyst is not case sensitive, so C<MyApp::C::FOO::Bar> is
2255 mapped to C</foo/bar>. You can activate case sensitivity with a config
2258 MyApp->config->{case_sensitive} = 1;
2260 This causes C<MyApp::C::Foo::Bar> to map to C</Foo/Bar>.
2262 =head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER
2264 The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
2265 but if you want to handle input yourself, you can enable on-demand
2266 parsing with a config parameter.
2268 MyApp->config->{parse_on_demand} = 1;
2270 =head1 PROXY SUPPORT
2272 Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach,
2273 with a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger
2274 backend server. An application running on the backend server must deal
2275 with two problems: the remote user always appears to be C<127.0.0.1> and
2276 the server's hostname will appear to be C<localhost> regardless of the
2277 virtual host that the user connected through.
2279 Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running
2280 the frontend and backend servers on the same machine. The following
2281 changes are made to the request.
2283 $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from
2284 the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header.
2286 The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real
2287 host, as read from the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header.
2289 Obviously, your web server must support these headers for this to work.
2291 In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your
2292 frontend proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a
2293 configuration option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the
2296 MyApp->config->{using_frontend_proxy} = 1;
2298 If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:
2300 MyApp->config->{ignore_frontend_proxy} = 1;
2302 =head1 THREAD SAFETY
2304 Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading C<mpm_worker>,
2305 C<mpm_winnt>, and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows. We
2306 believe the Catalyst core to be thread-safe.
2308 If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
2309 modules you are using must also be thread-safe. Some modules, most notably
2310 L<DBD::SQLite>, are not thread-safe.
