NAME

Catalyst::ControllerRole::CatchErrors - custom error handling in your controller.

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp::Controller::Root;
use Moose;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller' }
with 'Catalyst::ControllerRole::CatchErrors';

sub catch_errors : Private {
    my ($self, $c, @errors) = @_;
    # stuff
}

DESCRIPTION If an action throws an error the default behaviour of Catalyst is to render a default error page and set the response code to 500. One usecase where this is problematic is if you have a REST Controller using Catalyst::Action::REST. If you apply the Catalyst::ControllerRole::CatchErrors role to your controller you can provide a catch_errors action that receives an array of all errors that occurred during the request and do with them whatever you want. You can even rethrow the error. Catalyst::ControllerRole::CatchErrors passes a copy of the errors to your method and clears the original ones before calling catch_errors.
