NAME

Catalyst::Base - Catalyst Base Class

SYNOPSIS

See Catalyst

DESCRIPTION

Catalyst Base Class

This is the base class for all Catalyst components. It also handles dispatch of actions for controllers.

METHODS

$class->new($app, @args)

Proxies through to NEXT::new and stashes the application instance as $self->{application}.

$self->action_for('name')

Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name in this component.

$self->action_namespace($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 "foo/bar") or can be overriden from the "namespace" config key.

$self->path_prefix($c)

Returns the default path prefix for :Local, :LocalRegex and relative :Path actions in this component. Defaults to the action_namespace or can be overriden from the "path" config key.

$self->register_actions($c)

Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates Catalyst::Action objects (using $self->create_action) for them and registers them with $c->dispatcher.

$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.

Primarily designed for the use of register_actions.
