NAME¶
Catalyst::DispatchType - DispatchType Base Class
SYNOPSIS¶
See Catalyst.
DESCRIPTION¶
This is an abstract base class for Dispatch Types.
From a code perspective, dispatch types are used to find which actions to call
for a given request URL. Website authors will typically work with them via
subroutine names attributes; a description of dispatch at the attribute/URL
level is given in Catalyst::Manual::Intro.
METHODS¶
$self->list($c)¶
abstract method, to be implemented by dispatchtypes. Called to display info in
debug log.
$self->match( $c, $path )¶
abstract method, to be implemented by dispatchtypes. Returns true if the
dispatch type matches the given path
$self->register( $c, $action )¶
abstract method, to be implemented by dispatchtypes. Takes a context object and
a Catalyst::Action object.
Should return true if it registers something, or false otherwise.
$self->uri_for_action( $action, \@captures )¶
abstract method, to be implemented by dispatchtypes. Takes a Catalyst::Action
object and an arrayref of captures, and should return either a URI part which
if placed in $c->req->path would cause $self->match to match this
action and set $c->req->captures to the supplied arrayref, or undef if
unable to do so.
$self->expand_action¶
Default fallback, returns nothing. See Catalyst::Dispatcher for more info about
expand_action.
