210 See L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro> for additional information.
214 Catalyst is a modern framework for making web applications without the
215 pain usually associated with this process. This document is a reference
216 to the main Catalyst application. If you are a new user, we suggest you
217 start with L<Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial> or L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro>.
219 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.
221 Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use
222 Catalyst" statement. Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the
223 plugin name, i.e., C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes
226 use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
228 If your plugin starts with a name other than C<Catalyst::Plugin::>, you can
229 fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:
233 +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
236 Special flags like C<-Debug> and C<-Engine> can also be specified as
237 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
239 use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
241 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because
242 they are loaded in the order in which they appear.
244 The following flags are supported:
248 Enables debug output. You can also force this setting from the system
249 environment with CATALYST_DEBUG or <MYAPP>_DEBUG. The environment
250 settings override the application, with <MYAPP>_DEBUG having the highest
253 This sets the log level to 'debug' and enables full debug output on the
254 error screen. If you only want the latter, see L<< $c->debug >>.
258 Forces Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the
259 C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:
261 use Catalyst qw/-Engine=CGI/;
265 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
267 use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/mst];
269 This can also be done in the shell environment by setting either the
270 C<CATALYST_HOME> environment variable or C<MYAPP_HOME>; where C<MYAPP>
271 is replaced with the uppercased name of your application, any "::" in
272 the name will be replaced with underscores, e.g. MyApp::Web should use
273 MYAPP_WEB_HOME. If both variables are set, the MYAPP_HOME one will be used.
275 If none of these are set, Catalyst will attempt to automatically detect the
276 home directory. If you are working in a development envirnoment, Catalyst
277 will try and find the directory containing either Makefile.PL, Build.PL or
278 dist.ini. If the application has been installed into the system (i.e.
279 you have done C<make install>), then Catalyst will use the path to your
280 application module, without the .pm extension (ie, /foo/MyApp if your
281 application was installed at /foo/MyApp.pm)
285 use Catalyst '-Log=warn,fatal,error';
287 Specifies a comma-delimited list of log levels.
291 Enables statistics collection and reporting.
293 use Catalyst qw/-Stats=1/;
295 You can also force this setting from the system environment with CATALYST_STATS
296 or <MYAPP>_STATS. The environment settings override the application, with
297 <MYAPP>_STATS having the highest priority.
299 Stats are also enabled if L<< debugging |/"-Debug" >> is enabled.
303 =head2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT REQUEST
307 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
308 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
312 Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the URI prefix
313 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:
315 # in Controller::Foo::Bar
316 $c->namespace; # returns 'foo/bar';
322 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Request> object, giving access to
323 information about the current client request (including parameters,
324 cookies, HTTP headers, etc.). See L<Catalyst::Request>.
326 =head2 REQUEST FLOW HANDLING
328 =head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
330 =head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
332 Forwards processing to another action, by its private name. If you give a
333 class name but no method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally
334 pass arguments in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in
335 C<@_> and C<< $c->req->args >>. Upon returning from the function,
336 C<< $c->req->args >> will be restored to the previous values.
338 Any data C<return>ed from the action forwarded to, will be returned by the
341 my $foodata = $c->forward('/foo');
342 $c->forward('index');
343 $c->forward(qw/Model::DBIC::Foo do_stuff/);
344 $c->forward('View::TT');
346 Note that L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >> implies
347 an C<< eval { } >> around the call (actually
348 L<< execute|/"$c->execute( $class, $coderef )" >> does), thus de-fatalizing
349 all 'dies' within the called action. If you want C<die> to propagate you
350 need to do something like:
353 die join "\n", @{ $c->error } if @{ $c->error };
355 Or make sure to always return true values from your actions and write
358 $c->forward('foo') || return;
360 Another note is that C<< $c->forward >> always returns a scalar because it
361 actually returns $c->state which operates in a scalar context.
362 Thus, something like:
366 in an action that is forwarded to is going to return a scalar,
367 i.e. how many items are in that array, which is probably not what you want.
368 If you need to return an array then return a reference to it,
371 $c->stash->{array} = \@array;
373 and access it from the stash.
375 Keep in mind that the C<end> method used is that of the caller action. So a C<$c-E<gt>detach> inside a forwarded action would run the C<end> method from the original action requested.
379 sub forward { my $c = shift; no warnings 'recursion'; $c->dispatcher->forward( $c, @_ ) }
381 =head2 $c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )
383 =head2 $c->detach( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
387 The same as L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>, but
388 doesn't return to the previous action when processing is finished.
390 When called with no arguments it escapes the processing chain entirely.
394 sub detach { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->detach( $c, @_ ) }
396 =head2 $c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
398 =head2 $c->visit( $class, $method, [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
400 Almost the same as L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>,
401 but does a full dispatch, instead of just calling the new C<$action> /
402 C<< $class->$method >>. This means that C<begin>, C<auto> and the method
403 you go to are called, just like a new request.
405 In addition both C<< $c->action >> and C<< $c->namespace >> are localized.
406 This means, for example, that C<< $c->action >> methods such as
407 L<name|Catalyst::Action/name>, L<class|Catalyst::Action/class> and
408 L<reverse|Catalyst::Action/reverse> return information for the visited action
409 when they are invoked within the visited action. This is different from the
410 behavior of L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>, which
411 continues to use the $c->action object from the caller action even when
412 invoked from the callee.
414 C<< $c->stash >> is kept unchanged.
416 In effect, L<< visit|/"$c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >>
417 allows you to "wrap" another action, just as it would have been called by
418 dispatching from a URL, while the analogous
419 L<< go|/"$c->go( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >> allows you to
420 transfer control to another action as if it had been reached directly from a URL.
424 sub visit { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->visit( $c, @_ ) }
426 =head2 $c->go( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
428 =head2 $c->go( $class, $method, [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )
430 The relationship between C<go> and
431 L<< visit|/"$c->visit( $action [, \@captures, \@arguments ] )" >> is the same as
432 the relationship between
433 L<< forward|/"$c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )" >> and
434 L<< detach|/"$c->detach( $action [, \@arguments ] )" >>. Like C<< $c->visit >>,
435 C<< $c->go >> will perform a full dispatch on the specified action or method,
436 with localized C<< $c->action >> and C<< $c->namespace >>. Like C<detach>,
437 C<go> escapes the processing of the current request chain on completion, and
438 does not return to its caller.
440 @arguments are arguments to the final destination of $action. @captures are
441 arguments to the intermediate steps, if any, on the way to the final sub of
446 sub go { my $c = shift; $c->dispatcher->go( $c, @_ ) }
452 Returns the current L<Catalyst::Response> object, see there for details.
456 Returns a hashref to the stash, which may be used to store data and pass
457 it between components during a request. You can also set hash keys by
458 passing arguments. The stash is automatically sent to the view. The
459 stash is cleared at the end of a request; it cannot be used for
460 persistent storage (for this you must use a session; see
461 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Session> for a complete system integrated with
464 $c->stash->{foo} = $bar;
465 $c->stash( { moose => 'majestic', qux => 0 } );
466 $c->stash( bar => 1, gorch => 2 ); # equivalent to passing a hashref
468 # stash is automatically passed to the view for use in a template
469 $c->forward( 'MyApp::View::TT' );
473 around stash => sub {
476 my $stash = $orig->($c);
478 my $new_stash = @_ > 1 ? {@_} : $_[0];
479 croak('stash takes a hash or hashref') unless ref $new_stash;
480 foreach my $key ( keys %$new_stash ) {
481 $stash->{$key} = $new_stash->{$key};
491 =head2 $c->error($error, ...)
493 =head2 $c->error($arrayref)
495 Returns an arrayref containing error messages. If Catalyst encounters an
496 error while processing a request, it stores the error in $c->error. This
497 method should only be used to store fatal error messages.
499 my @error = @{ $c->error };
503 $c->error('Something bad happened');
510 my $error = ref $_[0] eq 'ARRAY' ? $_[0] : [@_];
511 croak @$error unless ref $c;
512 push @{ $c->{error} }, @$error;
514 elsif ( defined $_[0] ) { $c->{error} = undef }
515 return $c->{error} || [];
521 Contains the return value of the last executed action.
522 Note that << $c->state >> operates in a scalar context which means that all
523 values it returns are scalar.
525 =head2 $c->clear_errors
527 Clear errors. You probably don't want to clear the errors unless you are
528 implementing a custom error screen.
530 This is equivalent to running

886 =head2 CLASS DATA AND HELPER CLASSES
890 Returns or takes a hashref containing the application's configuration.
892 __PACKAGE__->config( { db => 'dsn:SQLite:foo.db' } );
894 You can also use a C<YAML>, C<XML> or L<Config::General> config file
895 like C<myapp.conf> in your applications home directory. See
896 L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader>.
898 =head3 Cascading configuration
900 The config method is present on all Catalyst components, and configuration
901 will be merged when an application is started. Configuration loaded with
902 L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader> takes precedence over other configuration,
903 followed by configuration in your top level C<MyApp> class. These two
904 configurations are merged, and then configuration data whose hash key matches a
905 component name is merged with configuration for that component.
907 The configuration for a component is then passed to the C<new> method when a
908 component is constructed.
912 MyApp->config({ 'Model::Foo' => { bar => 'baz', overrides => 'me' } });
913 MyApp::Model::Foo->config({ quux => 'frob', overrides => 'this' });
915 will mean that C<MyApp::Model::Foo> receives the following data when
918 MyApp::Model::Foo->new({
924 It's common practice to use a Moose attribute
925 on the receiving component to access the config value.
927 package MyApp::Model::Foo;
931 # this attr will receive 'baz' at construction time
937 You can then get the value 'baz' by calling $c->model('Foo')->bar
938 (or $self->bar inside code in the model).
940 B<NOTE:> you MUST NOT call C<< $self->config >> or C<< __PACKAGE__->config >>
941 as a way of reading config within your code, as this B<will not> give you the
942 correctly merged config back. You B<MUST> take the config values supplied to
943 the constructor and use those instead.
947 around config => sub {
951 croak('Setting config after setup has been run is not allowed.')
952 if ( @_ and $c->setup_finished );
959 Returns the logging object instance. Unless it is already set, Catalyst
960 sets this up with a L<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class,
961 set the logger with the C<< __PACKAGE__->log >> method prior to calling
962 C<< __PACKAGE__->setup >>.
964 __PACKAGE__->log( MyLogger->new );
969 $c->log->info( 'Now logging with my own logger!' );
971 Your log class should implement the methods described in
977 Returns 1 if debug mode is enabled, 0 otherwise.
979 You can enable debug mode in several ways:
983 =item By calling myapp_server.pl with the -d flag
985 =item With the environment variables MYAPP_DEBUG, or CATALYST_DEBUG
987 =item The -Debug option in your MyApp.pm
989 =item By declaring C<sub debug { 1 }> in your MyApp.pm.
993 The first three also set the log level to 'debug'.
995 Calling C<< $c->debug(1) >> has no effect.
1001 =head2 $c->dispatcher
1003 Returns the dispatcher instance. See L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>.
1007 Returns the engine instance. See L<Catalyst::Engine>.
1010 =head2 UTILITY METHODS
1012 =head2 $c->path_to(@path)
1014 Merges C<@path> with C<< $c->config->{home} >> and returns a
1015 L<Path::Class::Dir> object. Note you can usually use this object as
1016 a filename, but sometimes you will have to explicitly stringify it
1017 yourself by calling the C<< ->stringify >> method.

1270 Constructs an absolute L<URI> object based on the application root, the
1271 provided path, and the additional arguments and query parameters provided.
1272 When used as a string, provides a textual URI. If you need more flexibility
1273 than this (i.e. the option to provide relative URIs etc.) see
1274 L<Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI>.
1276 If no arguments are provided, the URI for the current action is returned.
1277 To return the current action and also provide @args, use
1278 C<< $c->uri_for( $c->action, @args ) >>.
1280 If the first argument is a string, it is taken as a public URI path relative
1281 to C<< $c->namespace >> (if it doesn't begin with a forward slash) or
1282 relative to the application root (if it does). It is then merged with
1283 C<< $c->request->base >>; any C<@args> are appended as additional path
1284 components; and any C<%query_values> are appended as C<?foo=bar> parameters.
1286 If the first argument is a L<Catalyst::Action> it represents an action which
1287 will have its path resolved using C<< $c->dispatcher->uri_for_action >>. The
1288 optional C<\@captures> argument (an arrayref) allows passing the captured
1289 variables that are needed to fill in the paths of Chained and Regex actions;
1290 once the path is resolved, C<uri_for> continues as though a path was
1291 provided, appending any arguments or parameters and creating an absolute
1294 The captures for the current request can be found in
1295 C<< $c->request->captures >>, and actions can be resolved using

1297 path, use C<< $c->uri_for_action >> instead.

1554 helper scripts to generate <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AController%3A%3A&mode=all">controllers</a>,
1555 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AModel%3A%3A&mode=all">models</a>, and
1556 <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/search?query=Catalyst%3A%3AView%3A%3A&mode=all">views</a>;
1557 they can save you a lot of work.</p>
1558 <pre><code>script/${prefix}_create.pl --help</code></pre>
1559 <p>Also, be sure to check out the vast and growing
1560 collection of <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Catalyst">plugins for Catalyst on CPAN</a>;
1561 you are likely to find what you need there.
1565 <p>Catalyst has a very active community. Here are the main places to
1566 get in touch with us.</p>

2871 =head2 $c->use_stats
2873 Returns 1 when L<< stats collection|/"-Stats" >> is enabled.
2875 Note that this is a static method, not an accessor and should be overridden
2876 by declaring C<sub use_stats { 1 }> in your MyApp.pm, not by calling C<< $c->use_stats(1) >>.
2883 =head2 $c->write( $data )
2885 Writes $data to the output stream. When using this method directly, you
2886 will need to manually set the C<Content-Length> header to the length of

2903 messages in template systems.
2907 sub version { return $Catalyst::VERSION }
2909 =head1 CONFIGURATION
2911 There are a number of 'base' config variables which can be set:
2917 C<default_model> - The default model picked if you say C<< $c->model >>. See L<< /$c->model($name) >>.
2921 C<default_view> - The default view to be rendered or returned when C<< $c->view >> is called. See L<< /$c->view($name) >>.
2925 C<disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback> - Turns
2926 off the deprecated component resolution functionality so
2927 that if any of the component methods (e.g. C<< $c->controller('Foo') >>)
2928 are called then regex search will not be attempted on string values and
2929 instead C<undef> will be returned.
2933 C<home> - The application home directory. In an uninstalled application,
2934 this is the top level application directory. In an installed application,
2935 this will be the directory containing C<< MyApp.pm >>.
2939 C<ignore_frontend_proxy> - See L</PROXY SUPPORT>
2943 C<name> - The name of the application in debug messages and the debug and
2948 C<parse_on_demand> - The request body (for example file uploads) will not be parsed
2949 until it is accessed. This allows you to (for example) check authentication (and reject
2950 the upload) before actually recieving all the data. See L</ON-DEMAND PARSER>
2954 C<root> - The root directory for templates. Usually this is just a
2955 subdirectory of the home directory, but you can set it to change the
2956 templates to a different directory.
2960 C<search_extra> - Array reference passed to Module::Pluggable to for additional
2961 namespaces from which components will be loaded (and constructed and stored in
2962 C<< $c->components >>).
2966 C<show_internal_actions> - If true, causes internal actions such as C<< _DISPATCH >>
2967 to be shown in hit debug tables in the test server.
2971 C<use_request_uri_for_path> - Controlls if the C<REQUEST_URI> or C<PATH_INFO> environment
2972 variable should be used for determining the request path. See L<Catalyst::Engine::CGI/PATH DECODING>
2973 for more information.
2977 C<using_frontend_proxy> - See L</PROXY SUPPORT>.
2981 =head1 INTERNAL ACTIONS
2983 Catalyst uses internal actions like C<_DISPATCH>, C<_BEGIN>, C<_AUTO>,
2984 C<_ACTION>, and C<_END>. These are by default not shown in the private
2985 action table, but you can make them visible with a config parameter.
2987 MyApp->config(show_internal_actions => 1);
2989 =head1 ON-DEMAND PARSER
2991 The request body is usually parsed at the beginning of a request,
2992 but if you want to handle input yourself, you can enable on-demand
2993 parsing with a config parameter.
2995 MyApp->config(parse_on_demand => 1);
2997 =head1 PROXY SUPPORT
2999 Many production servers operate using the common double-server approach,
3000 with a lightweight frontend web server passing requests to a larger
3001 backend server. An application running on the backend server must deal
3002 with two problems: the remote user always appears to be C<127.0.0.1> and
3003 the server's hostname will appear to be C<localhost> regardless of the
3004 virtual host that the user connected through.
3006 Catalyst will automatically detect this situation when you are running
3007 the frontend and backend servers on the same machine. The following
3008 changes are made to the request.
3010 $c->req->address is set to the user's real IP address, as read from
3011 the HTTP X-Forwarded-For header.
3013 The host value for $c->req->base and $c->req->uri is set to the real
3014 host, as read from the HTTP X-Forwarded-Host header.
3016 Additionally, you may be running your backend application on an insecure
3017 connection (port 80) while your frontend proxy is running under SSL. If there
3018 is a discrepancy in the ports, use the HTTP header C<X-Forwarded-Port> to
3019 tell Catalyst what port the frontend listens on. This will allow all URIs to
3020 be created properly.
3022 In the case of passing in:
3024 X-Forwarded-Port: 443
3026 All calls to C<uri_for> will result in an https link, as is expected.
3028 Obviously, your web server must support these headers for this to work.
3030 In a more complex server farm environment where you may have your
3031 frontend proxy server(s) on different machines, you will need to set a
3032 configuration option to tell Catalyst to read the proxied data from the
3035 MyApp->config(using_frontend_proxy => 1);
3037 If you do not wish to use the proxy support at all, you may set:
3039 MyApp->config(ignore_frontend_proxy => 1);
3041 =head1 THREAD SAFETY
3043 Catalyst has been tested under Apache 2's threading C<mpm_worker>,
3044 C<mpm_winnt>, and the standalone forking HTTP server on Windows. We
3045 believe the Catalyst core to be thread-safe.
3047 If you plan to operate in a threaded environment, remember that all other
3048 modules you are using must also be thread-safe. Some modules, most notably
3049 L<DBD::SQLite>, are not thread-safe.
