63 Controllers are where the actions in the Catalyst framework
64 reside. Each action is represented by a function with an attribute to
65 identify what kind of action it is. See the L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>
66 for more info about how Catalyst dispatches to actions.

400 Like any other L<Catalyst::Component>, controllers have a config hash,
401 accessible through $self->config from the controller actions. Some
402 settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
406 This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
407 to. By default the controller is bound to the URI version of the
408 controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
409 will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
410 of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
414 Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
418 =head2 BUILDARGS ($app, @args)
420 From L<Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute>, stashes the application
421 instance as $self->_application.
423 =head2 $self->action_for('name')
425 Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name
428 =head2 $self->action_namespace($c)
430 Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
431 to a value from the controller name (for
432 e.g. MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes "foo/bar") or can be
433 overridden from the "namespace" config key.
436 =head2 $self->path_prefix($c)
438 Returns the default path prefix for :PathPrefix, :Local, :LocalRegex and
439 relative :Path actions in this component. Defaults to the action_namespace or
440 can be overridden from the "path" config key.
442 =head2 $self->register_actions($c)
444 Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates
445 Catalyst::Action objects (using $self->create_action) for them and
446 registers them with $c->dispatcher.
448 =head2 $self->get_action_methods()
450 Returns a list of L<Moose::Meta::Method> objects, doing the
451 L<MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role::Meta::Method> role, which are the set of
452 action methods for this package.
454 =head2 $self->register_action_methods($c, @methods)
456 Creates action objects for a set of action methods using C< create_action >,
457 and registers them with the dispatcher.
459 =head2 $self->create_action(%args)
461 Called with a hash of data to be use for construction of a new
462 Catalyst::Action (or appropriate sub/alternative class) object.
464 =head2 $self->_application
468 Returns the application instance stored by C<new()>
