Mojolicious::Controller - Controller Base Class
SYNOPSIS
use base 'Mojolicious::Controller';DESCRIPTION

METHODS
Mojolicious::Controller inherits all methods from MojoX::Dispatcher::Routes::Controller and implements the following new ones.
client
my $client = $c->client;A Mojo::Client prepared for the current environment.
my $tx = $c->client->get('http://mojolicious.org');
$c->client->post_form('http://kraih.com/login' => {user => 'mojo'});
$c->client->get('http://mojolicious.org' => sub {
my $client = shift;
$c->render_data($client->res->body);
})->start;For async processing you can use finish.
$c->client->async->get('http://mojolicious.org' => sub {
my $client = shift;
$c->render_data($client->res->body);
$c->finish;
})->start;finish
$c->finish;Gracefully end WebSocket connection.
on_finish
$c->on_finish(sub {...});Callback signaling that the transaction has been finished.
$c->on_finish(sub {
my $self = shift;
});on_message
$c = $c->on_message(sub {...});Receive messages via WebSocket, only works if there is currently a WebSocket connection in progress.
$c->on_message(sub {
my ($self, $message) = @_;
});redirect_to
$c = $c->redirect_to('named');
$c = $c->redirect_to('named', foo => 'bar');
$c = $c->redirect_to('/path');
$c = $c->redirect_to('http://127.0.0.1/foo/bar');Prepare a 302 redirect response.
render
$c->render;
$c->render(controller => 'foo', action => 'bar');
$c->render({controller => 'foo', action => 'bar'});
$c->render(text => 'Hello!');
$c->render(template => 'index');
$c->render(template => 'foo/index');
$c->render(template => 'index', format => 'html', handler => 'epl');
$c->render(handler => 'something');
$c->render('foo/bar');
$c->render('foo/bar', format => 'html');This is a wrapper around MojoX::Renderer exposing pretty much all functionality provided by it. It will set a default template to use based on the controller and action name or fall back to the route name. You can call it with a hash of options which can be preceded by an optional template name. Note that all render arguments get localized, so stash values won't be changed after the render call.
render_data
$c->render_data($bits);Render binary data, similar to render_text but data will not be encoded.
render_exception
$c->render_exception($e);Render the exception template exception.html.$handler. Will set the status code to 500 meaning Internal Server Error. Takes a Mojo::Exception object or error message and will fall back to rendering a static 500 page using MojoX::Renderer::Static.
render_inner
my $output = $c->render_inner;
my $output = $c->render_inner('content');
my $output = $c->render_inner(content => 'Hello world!');
my $output = $c->render_inner(content => sub { 'Hello world!' });Contains partial rendered templates, used for the renderers layout and extends features.
render_json
$c->render_json({foo => 'bar'});
$c->render_json([1, 2, -3]);Render a data structure as JSON.
render_not_found
$c->render_not_found;
$c->render_not_found($resource);Render the not found template not_found.html.$handler. Also sets the response status code to 404, will fall back to rendering a static 404 page using MojoX::Renderer::Static.
render_partial
my $output = $c->render_partial;
my $output = $c->render_partial(action => 'foo');Same as render but returns the rendered result.
render_static
$c->render_static('images/logo.png');
$c->render_static('../lib/MyApp.pm');Render a static file using MojoX::Dispatcher::Static relative to the public directory of your application.
render_text
$c->render_text('Hello World!');
$c->render_text('Hello World', layout => 'green');Render the given content as plain text, note that text will be encoded. See render_data for an alternative without encoding.
rendered
$c->rendered;Finalize response and run after_dispatch plugin hook. Note that this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
send_message
$c = $c->send_message('Hi there!');Send a message via WebSocket, only works if there is currently a WebSocket connection in progress.
url_for
my $url = $c->url_for;
my $url = $c->url_for(controller => 'bar', action => 'baz');
my $url = $c->url_for('named', controller => 'bar', action => 'baz');Generate a Mojo::URL for the current or a named route.
write
$c->write;
$c->write('Hello!');
$c->write(sub {...});
$c->write('Hello!', sub {...});Write dynamic content matching the corresponding Content-Length header chunk wise, the optional drain callback will be invoked once all data has been written to the kernel send buffer or equivalent.
$c->res->headers->content_length(6);
$c->write('Hel');
$c->write('lo!');Note that this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
write_chunk
$c->write_chunk;
$c->write_chunk('Hello!');
$c->write_chunk(sub {...});
$c->write_chunk('Hello!', sub {...});Write dynamic content chunk wise with the chunked Transfer-Encoding which doesn't require a Content-Length header, the optional drain callback will be invoked once all data has been written to the kernel send buffer or equivalent. An empty chunk marks the end of the stream.
$c->write_chunk('Hel');
$c->write_chunk('lo!');
$c->write_chunk('');Note that this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
