DESCRIPTION

Base Reaction Controller class, subclass of Catalyst::Controller.

ROLES CONSUMED

Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext

Reaction::UI::Controller::Role::RedirectTo

Please not that this functionality is now deprecated.

METHODS

push_viewport $vp_class, %args

Creates a new instance of the Reaction::UI::ViewPort class ($vp_class) using the rest of the arguments given (%args). Defaults of the action can be overridden by using the ViewPort key in the controller configuration. For example to override the default number of items in a CRUD list action:

__PACKAGE__->config( action => { list => { ViewPort => { per_page => 50 } }, } );

The ViewPort is added to the Reaction::UI::Window's FocusStack in the stash, and also returned to the calling code.

pop_viewport

pop_viewport_to $vp

Call "pop_viewport" in Reaction::UI::FocusStack or "pop_viewport_to" in Reaction::UI::FocusStack on the $c->stash->{focus_stack}.

redirect_to $c, $to, $captures, $args, $attrs

Construct a URI and redirect to it.

$to can be:

The name of an action in the current controller.

A Catalyst::Action instance.

An arrayref of controller name and the name of an action in that controller.

$captures and $args default to the current requests $captures and $args if not supplied.

make_context_closure

The purpose of this method is to prevent memory leaks. It weakens the context object, often denoted $c, and passes it as the first argument to the sub{} that is passed to the make_context_closure method. In other words,

make_context_closure returns sub { $sub_you_gave_it->($weak_c, @_)

To further expound up this useful construct consider code written before make_context_closure was created:

            

              
              
on_apply_callback =>
    sub {
      $self->after_search( $c, @_ );
    }
),
            
          

This could be rewritten as:

            

              
              
on_apply_callback => $self->make_context_closure(
    sub {
        my $weak_c = shift;
        $self->after_search( $weak_c, @_ );
    }
),
            
          

Or even more succintly:

            

              
              
on_apply_callback => $self->make_context_closure(
    sub {
        $self->after_search( @_ );
    }
),
