NAME

Catalyst::Action::REST - Automated REST Method Dispatching

SYNOPSIS

sub foo :Local :ActionClass('REST') {}

sub foo_GET { 
  ... do something for GET requests ...
}

sub foo_PUT { 
  ... do somethign for PUT requests ...
}

DESCRIPTION

This Action handles doing automatic method dispatching for REST requests. It takes a normal Catalyst action, and changes the dispatch to append an underscore and method name.

For example, in the synopsis above, calling GET on "/foo" would result in the foo_GET method being dispatched.

If a method is requested that is not implemented, this action will return a status 405 (Method Not Found). It will populate the "Allow" header with the list of implemented request methods.

It is likely that you really want to look at Catalyst::Controller::REST.

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.

Catalyst::Action::Serialize, Catalyst::Action::Deserialize
