.IX Title "Catalyst::Controller 3"

.SH "NAME"
Catalyst::Controller \- Catalyst Controller base class

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Controllers are where the actions in the Catalyst framework
reside. Each action is represented by a function with an attribute to
identify what kind of action it is. See the Catalyst::Dispatcher
for more info about how Catalyst dispatches to actions.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION"
Like any other Catalyst::Component, controllers have a config hash,
accessible through \f(CW$self\fR\->config from the controller actions.  Some
settings are in use by the Catalyst framework:
.Sh "namespace"
.IX Subsection "namespace"
This specifies the internal namespace the controller should be bound
to. By default the controller is bound to the \s-1URI\s0 version of the
controller name. For instance controller 'MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar'
will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
.Sh "path"
.IX Subsection "path"
Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .Sh "\s-1BUILDARGS\s0 ($app, @args)"
.el .Sh "\s-1BUILDARGS\s0 ($app, \f(CW@args\fP)"
.IX Subsection "BUILDARGS ($app, @args)"
From Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute, stashes the application
instance as \f(CW$self\fR\->_application.
.Sh "$self\->action_for('name')"
.IX Subsection "$self->action_for('name')"
Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name
in this component.
.Sh "$self\->action_namespace($c)"
.IX Subsection "$self->action_namespace($c)"
Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
to a value from the controller name (for
e.g. MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes \*(L"foo/bar\*(R") or can be
overridden from the \*(L"namespace\*(R" config key.
.Sh "$self\->path_prefix($c)"
.IX Subsection "$self->path_prefix($c)"
Returns the default path prefix for :PathPrefix, :Local, :LocalRegex and
relative :Path actions in this component. Defaults to the action_namespace or
can be overridden from the \*(L"path\*(R" config key.
.Sh "$self\->register_actions($c)"
.IX Subsection "$self->register_actions($c)"
Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates
Catalyst::Action objects (using \f(CW$self\fR\->create_action) for them and
registers them with \f(CW$c\fR\->dispatcher.
.Sh "$self\->\fIget_action_methods()\fP"
.IX Subsection "$self->get_action_methods()"
Returns a list of Moose::Meta::Method objects, doing the
MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role::Meta::Method role, which are the set of
action methods for this package.
.ie n .Sh "$self\->register_action_methods($c, @methods)"
.el .Sh "$self\->register_action_methods($c, \f(CW@methods\fP)"
.IX Subsection "$self->register_action_methods($c, @methods)"
Creates action objects for a set of action methods using \f(CW\*(C` create_action \*(C'\fR,
and registers them with the dispatcher.
.Sh "$self\->create_action(%args)"
.IX Subsection "$self->create_action(%args)"
Called with a hash of data to be use for construction of a new
Catalyst::Action (or appropriate sub/alternative class) object.
.Sh "$self\->_application"
.IX Subsection "$self->_application"
.Sh "$self\->_app"
.IX Subsection "$self->_app"
Returns the application instance stored by \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR
