NAME

Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex - Regex DispatchType

SYNOPSIS

See Catalyst::DispatchType.

DESCRIPTION

Dispatch type managing path-matching behaviour using regexes. For more information on dispatch types, see:

• Catalyst::Manual::Intro for how they affect application authors

• Catalyst::DispatchType for implementation information.

METHODS

$self->list($c)

Output a table of all regex actions, and their private equivalent.

$self->match( $c, $path )

Checks path against every compiled regex, and offers the action for any regex which matches a chance to match the request. If it succeeds, sets action, match and captures on $c->req and returns 1. If not, returns 0 without altering $c.

$self->register( $c, $action )

Registers one or more regex actions for an action object. Also registers them as literal paths.

Returns 1 if any regexps were registered.

$self->register_regex($c, $re, $action)

Register an individual regex on the action. Usually called from the register method.

$self->uri_for_action($action, $captures)

returns a URI for this action if it can find a regex attributes that contains the correct number of () captures. Note that this may function incorrectly in the case of nested captures - if your regex does (...(..))..(..) you'll need to pass the first and third captures only.
