See Catalyst::Manual::Intro

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

Slurp file from DATA.

mk_app

Create the main application skeleton.

mk_component

This method is called by create.pl to make new components for your application.

mk_dir

Surprisingly, this function makes a directory.

mk_file

next_test

HELPERS

Helpers are classes that provide two methods.

* mk_compclass - creates the Component class
* mk_comptest  - creates the Component test

So when you call bin/create view MyView TT, create would try to execute Catalyst::Helper::View::TT->mk_compclass and Catalyst::Helper::View::TT->mk_comptest.

See Catalyst::Helper::View::TT and Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC for examples.

All helper classes should be under one of the following namespaces.

Catalyst::Helper::Model::
Catalyst::Helper::View::
Catalyst::Helper::Controller::

NOTE

The helpers will read author name from /etc/passwd by default. To override, please export the AUTHOR variable.
