DESCRIPTION

Base Reaction Controller class. Inherits from:

Catalyst::Controller =item Catalyst::Component::ACCEPT_CONTEXT =item Reaction::Object

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.
