NAME

Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API::StaticArguments - Provides controller level configuration arguments

VERSION

version 2.005001

DESCRIPTION

StaticArguments is a role that is composed by the controller to provide configuration parameters such as where to find specific elements in the request data and if to use JSON boolean types.

PUBLIC_ATTRIBUTES

create_requires create_allows update_requires update_allows

These attributes control requirements and limits to columns when creating or updating objects.

Each provides a number of handles:

    "get_${var}_column" => 'get'
    "set_${var}_column" => 'set'
    "delete_${var}_column" => 'delete'
    "insert_${var}_column" => 'insert'
    "count_${var}_column" => 'count'
    "all_${var}_columns" => 'elements'

prefetch_allows

prefetch_allows limits what relations may be prefetched when executing searches with joins. This is necessary to avoid denial of service attacks in form of queries which would return a large number of data and unwanted disclosure of data.

Like the synopsis in DBIC::API shows, you can declare a "template" of what is allowed (by using an '*'). Each element passed in, will be converted into a Data::DPath and added to the validator.

    prefetch_allows => [ 'cds', { cds => tracks }, { cds => producers } ] # to be explicit
    prefetch_allows => [ 'cds', { cds => '*' } ] # wildcard means the same thing
