NAME

Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API::REST - Provides a REST interface to DBIx::Class

VERSION

version 2.006002

DESCRIPTION

Provides a REST style API interface to the functionality described in Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.

By default provides the following endpoints:

$base (operates on lists of objects and accepts GET, PUT, POST and DELETE)
$base/[identifier] (operates on a single object and accepts GET, PUT, POST and DELETE)

Where $base is the URI described by "setup", the chain root of the controller and the request type will determine the Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API method to forward.

PROTECTED_METHODS

setup

Chained: override PathPart: override CaptureArgs: 0

As described in "setup" in Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API, this action is the chain root of the controller but has no pathpart or chain parent defined by default.

These must be defined in order for the controller to function.

The neatest way is normally to define these using the controller's config.

  __PACKAGE__->config
    ( action => { setup => { PathPart => 'track', Chained => '/api/rest/rest_base' } },
	...
  );
