SYNOPSIS

# lib/MyApp/View/Download/XML.pm
package MyApp::View::Download::XML;
use base qw( Catalyst::View::Download::XML );
1;

# lib/MyApp/Controller/SomeController.pm
sub example_action_1 : Local {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;

    # supported content can be an xml document
    my $content = "<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<root>\n<text>Some Text\n</text>\n</root>";

    # supported content can also be a hashref which will converted into xml
    # using XMLout from L<XML::Simple>
    $content = {
        'root' => {
            'text' => 'Some Text'
        }
    };

    # To output your data just pass your content into the 'xml' key of the stash
    $c->stash->{'xml'} = $content;

    # Or into the body of the response for this action
    $c->response->body($content);

    # Finally forward processing to the XML View
    $c->forward('MyApp::View::Download::XML');
}

DESCRIPTION

Takes content and outputs the content as html text.

SUBROUTINES

process

This method will be called by Catalyst if it is asked to forward to a component without a specified action.

render

Allows others to use this view for much more fine-grained content generation.

XMLout

If a hashref is passed as content it will be converted using the XMLout function from the XML::Simple module. The following options are used to instantiate the XML::Simple object.

keeproot => 1

XMLDecl => "<?xml version='1.0' ?>"

CONFIG

stash_key

Determines the key in the stash this view will look for when attempting to retrieve content to process. If this key isn't found it will then look at $c->response->body for content.

$c->view('MyApp::View::Download::XML')->config->{'stash_key'} = 'content';
