NAME

Catalyst::Utils - The Catalyst Utils

SYNOPSIS

See Catalyst.

DESCRIPTION

Catalyst Utilities.

METHODS

appprefix($class)

    MyApp::Foo becomes myapp_foo

class2appclass($class);

    MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes MyApp
    My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes My::App

class2classprefix($class);

    MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes MyApp::Controller
    My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes My::App::Controller

class2classsuffix($class);

    MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes Controller::Foo::Bar

class2env($class);

Returns the environment name for class.

    MyApp becomes MYAPP
    My::App becomes MY_APP

class2prefix( $class, $case );

Returns the uri prefix for a class. If case is false the prefix is converted to lowercase.

    My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes foo/bar

class2tempdir( $class [, $create ] );

Returns a tempdir for a class. If create is true it will try to create the path.

    My::App becomes /tmp/my/app
    My::App::Controller::Foo::Bar becomes /tmp/my/app/c/foo/bar

home($class)

Returns home directory for given class.

dist_indicator_file_list

Returns a list of files which can be tested to check if you're inside a CPAN distribution which is not yet installed.

These are:

Makefile.PL
Build.PL
dist.ini
cpanfile

prefix($class, $name);

Returns a prefixed action.

    MyApp::Controller::Foo::Bar, yada becomes foo/bar/yada

request($uri)

Returns an HTTP::Request object for a uri.

ensure_class_loaded($class_name, \%opts)

Loads the class unless it already has been loaded.

If $opts{ignore_loaded} is true always tries the require whether the package already exists or not. Only pass this if you're either (a) sure you know the file exists on disk or (b) have code to catch the file not found exception that will result if it doesn't.

merge_hashes($hashref, $hashref)

Base code to recursively merge two hashes together with right-hand precedence.

env_value($class, $key)

Checks for and returns an environment value. For instance, if $key is 'home', then this method will check for and return the first value it finds, looking at $ENV{MYAPP_HOME} and $ENV{CATALYST_HOME}.

term_width

Try to guess terminal width to use with formatting of debug output

All you need to get this work, is:

1) Install Term::Size::Any, or

2) Export $COLUMNS from your shell.

(Warning to bash users: 'echo $COLUMNS' may be showing you the bash variable, not $ENV{COLUMNS}. 'export COLUMNS=$COLUMNS' and you should see that 'env' now lists COLUMNS.)

As last resort, default value of 80 chars will be used.

resolve_namespace

Method which adds the namespace for plugins and actions.

  __PACKAGE__->setup(qw(MyPlugin));

  # will load Catalyst::Plugin::MyPlugin

build_middleware (@args)

Internal application that converts a single middleware definition (see "psgi_middleware" in Catalyst) into an actual instance of middleware.

apply_registered_middleware ($psgi)

Given a $psgi reference, wrap all the "registered_middlewares" in Catalyst around it and return the wrapped version.

This exists to deal with the fact Catalyst registered middleware can be either an object with a wrap method or a coderef.
