NAME¶
Catalyst::Action::REST::ForBrowsers - Automated REST Method Dispatching that
Accommodates Browsers
SYNOPSIS¶
sub foo :Local :ActionClass('REST::ForBrowsers') {
... do setup for HTTP method specific handlers ...
}
sub foo_GET : Private {
... do something for GET requests ...
}
sub foo_GET_html : Private {
... do something for GET requests from browsers ...
}
sub foo_PUT : Private {
... do something for PUT requests ...
}
DESCRIPTION¶
This class subclasses Catalyst::Action::REST to add an additional dispatching
hook. If the request is a GET request
and the request looks like it
comes from a browser, it tries to dispatch to a "GET_html" method
before trying to the "GET" method instead. All other HTTP methods
are dispatched in the same way.
For example, in the synopsis above, calling GET on "/foo" from a
browser will end up calling the "foo_GET_html" method. If the
request is
not from a browser, it will call "foo_GET".
See Catalyst::Action::REST for more details on dispatching details.
METHODS¶
- dispatch
- This method overrides the default dispatch mechanism to the re-dispatching
mechanism described above.
SEE ALSO¶
You likely want to look at Catalyst::Controller::REST, which implements a
sensible set of defaults for a controller doing REST.
This class automatically adds the Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST::ForBrowsers
role to your request class.
