NAME

Reaction::UI::Controller::Root - Base component for the Root Controller

SYNOPSIS

  package MyApp::Controller::Root;
  use base 'Reaction::UI::Controller::Root';

  __PACKAGE__->config(
    view_name => 'Site',
    window_title => 'Reaction Test App',
    namespace => ''
  );

  # Create UI elements:
  $c->stash->{focus_stack}->push_viewport('Reaction::UI::ViewPort');

  # Access the window title in a template:
  [% window.title %]

DESCRIPTION

Using this module as a base component for your Catalyst Root Controller provides automatic creation of a Reaction::UI::Window object containing an empty Reaction::UI::FocusStack for your UI elements. The stack is also resolved and rendered for you in the end action.

At the begin of each request, a Reaction::UI::Window object is created using the configured "view_name", "content_type" and "window_title". These thus should be directly changed on the stashed window object at runtime, if needed.

METHODS
