Catalyst Utilities.METHODS
appprefix($class)
MyApp::Foo becomes myapp_foo
class2appclass($class);
MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes MyApp My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes My::App
class2classprefix($class);
MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes MyApp::Controller My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes My::App::Controller
class2classsuffix($class);
MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes Controller::Foo::Bar
class2env($class);
Returns the environment name for class.
MyApp becomes MYAPP My::App becomes MY_APP
class2prefix( $class, $case );
Returns the uri prefix for a class. If case is false the prefix is converted to lowercase.
My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes foo/bar
class2tempdir( $class [, $create ] );
Returns a tempdir for a class. If create is true it will try to create the path.
My::App becomes /tmp/my/app My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes /tmp/my/app/c/foo/bar
home($class)
Returns home directory for given class.dist_indicator_file_list
Returns a list of files which can be tested to check if you're inside a CPAN distribution which is not yet installed.These are:
- Makefile.PL
- Build.PL
- dist.ini
- cpanfile
prefix($class, $name);
Returns a prefixed action.
MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar, yada becomes foo/bar/yada
request($uri)
Returns an HTTP::Request object for a uri.ensure_class_loaded($class_name, \%opts)
Loads the class unless it already has been loaded.If $opts{ignore_loaded} is true always tries the require whether the package already exists or not. Only pass this if you're either (a) sure you know the file exists on disk or (b) have code to catch the file not found exception that will result if it doesn't.
merge_hashes($hashref, $hashref)
Base code to recursively merge two hashes together with right-hand precedence.env_value($class, $key)
Checks for and returns an environment value. For instance, if $key is 'home', then this method will check for and return the first value it finds, looking at $ENV{MYAPP_HOME} and $ENV{CATALYST_HOME}.term_width
Try to guess terminal width to use with formatting of debug outputAll you need to get this work, is:
1) Install Term::Size::Any, or
2) Export $COLUMNS from your shell.
(Warning to bash users: 'echo $COLUMNS' may be showing you the bash variable, not $ENV{COLUMNS}. 'export COLUMNS=$COLUMNS' and you should see that 'env' now lists COLUMNS.)
As last resort, default value of 80 chars will be used.
Calling "term_width" with a true value will cause it to be recalculated; you can use this to cause it to get recalculated when your terminal is resized like this
$SIG{WINCH} = sub { Catalyst::Utils::term_width(1) };
resolve_namespace
Method which adds the namespace for plugins and actions.
__PACKAGE__->setup(qw(MyPlugin)); # will load Catalyst::Plugin::MyPlugin
build_middleware (@args)
Internal application that converts a single middleware definition (see ``psgi_middleware'' in Catalyst) into an actual instance of middleware.apply_registered_middleware ($psgi)
Given a $psgi reference, wrap all the ``registered_middlewares'' in Catalyst around it and return the wrapped version.This exists to deal with the fact Catalyst registered middleware can be either an object with a wrap method or a coderef.
inject_component
Used to add components at runtime:
into The Catalyst package to inject into (e.g. My::App) component The component package to inject traits (Optional) ArrayRef of L<Moose::Role>s that the componet should consume. as An optional moniker to use as the package name for the derived component
For example:
Catalyst::Utils::inject_component( into => My::App, component => Other::App::Controller::Apple ) The above will create 'My::App::Controller::Other::App::Controller::Apple' Catalyst::Utils::inject_component( into => My::App, component => Other::App::Controller::Apple, as => Apple ) The above will create 'My::App::Controller::Apple' Catalyst::Utils::inject_component( into => $myapp, component => 'MyRootV', as => 'Controller::Root' );
Will inject Controller, Model, and View components into your Catalyst application at setup (run)time. It does this by creating a new package on-the-fly, having that package extend the given component, and then having Catalyst setup the new component (via $app->setup_component).
NOTE: This is basically a core version of CatalystX::InjectComponent. If you were using that you can now use this safely instead. Going forward changes required to make this work will be synchronized with the core method.
NOTE: The 'traits' option is unique to the Catalyst::Utils version of this feature.
NOTE: These injected components really need to be a Catalyst::Component and a Moose based class.
PSGI Helpers
Utility functions to make it easier to work with PSGI applications under Catalystenv_at_path_prefix
Localize $env under the current controller path prefix:
package MyApp::Controller::User; use Catalyst::Utils; use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; sub name :Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; my $env = $c->Catalyst::Utils::env_at_path_prefix; }
Assuming you have a request like GET /user/name:
In the example case $env will have PATH_INFO of '/name' instead of '/user/name' and SCRIPT_NAME will now be '/user'.
env_at_action
Localize $env under the current action namespace.
package MyApp::Controller::User; use Catalyst::Utils; use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; sub name :Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; my $env = $c->Catalyst::Utils::env_at_action; }
Assuming you have a request like GET /user/name:
In the example case $env will have PATH_INFO of '/' instead of '/user/name' and SCRIPT_NAME will now be '/user/name'.
Alternatively, assuming you have a request like GET /user/name/foo:
In this example case $env will have PATH_INFO of '/foo' instead of '/user/name/foo' and SCRIPT_NAME will now be '/user/name'.
This is probably a common case where you want to mount a PSGI application under an action but let the Args fall through to the PSGI app.
env_at_request_uri
Localize $env under the current request URI:
package MyApp::Controller::User; use Catalyst::Utils; use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; sub name :Local Args(1) { my ($self, $c, $id) = @_; my $env = $c->Catalyst::Utils::env_at_request_uri }
Assuming you have a request like GET /user/name/hello:
In the example case $env will have PATH_INFO of '/' instead of '/user/name' and SCRIPT_NAME will now be '/user/name/hello'.
