Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole - (DEPRECATED) Apply roles to action instances
version 0.17
package MyApp::Controller::Foo;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
sub bar : Local Does('Moo') { ... }
This module allows one to apply Moose::Roles to the "Catalyst::Action"s for different controller methods.
For that a "Does" attribute is provided. That attribute takes an argument, that determines the role, which is going to be applied. If that argument is prefixed with "+", it is assumed to be the full name of the role. If it's prefixed with "~", the name of your application followed by "::ActionRole::" is prepended. If it isn't prefixed with "+" or "~", the role name will be searched for in @INC according to the rules for role prefix searching.
It's possible to apply roles to all actions of a controller without specifying the "Does" keyword in every action definition:
package MyApp::Controller::Bar
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
__PACKAGE__->config(
action_roles => ['Foo', '~Bar'],
);
# Has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyApp::ActionRole::Bar applied.
#
# If MyApp::ActionRole::Foo exists and is loadable, it will take
# precedence over Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo.
#
# If MyApp::ActionRole::Bar exists and is loadable, it will be loaded,
# but even if it doesn't exist Catalyst::ActionRole::Bar will not be loaded.
sub moo : Local { ... }
Additionally, roles can be applied to selected actions without specifying "Does" using "action" in Catalyst::Controller and configured with "action_args" in Catalyst::Controller:
package MyApp::Controller::Baz;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
__PACKAGE__->config(
action_roles => [qw( Foo )],
action => {
some_action => { Does => [qw( ~Bar )] },
another_action => { Does => [qw( +MyActionRole::Baz )] },
},
action_args => {
another_action => { customarg => 'arg1' },
}
);
# has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyApp::ActionRole::Bar applied
sub some_action : Local { ... }
# has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyActionRole::Baz applied
# and associated action class would get additional arguments passed
sub another_action : Local { ... }
This class attribute stores an array reference of role prefixes to search for role names in if they aren't prefixed with "+" or "~". It defaults to "[ 'Catalyst::ActionRole::' ]". See "role prefix searching".
This attribute stores an array reference of role names that will be applied to every action of this controller. It can be set by passing a "action_roles" argument to the constructor. The same expansions as for "Does" will be performed.
Gathers the list of roles to apply to an action with the given %action_args.
As of version 5.90013, Catalyst has merged this functionality into the core Catalyst::Controller. You should no longer use it for new development and we recommend switching to the core controller as soon as practical.
Roles specified with no prefix are looked up under a set of role prefixes. The first prefix is always "MyApp::ActionRole::" (with "MyApp" replaced as appropriate for your application); the following prefixes are taken from the "_action_role_prefix" attribute.
