207 This documents the Maypole request object. For user documentation, see
214 Returns the L<Maypole::Config> object
218 My::App->setup($data_source, $user, $password, \%attr);
220 Initialise the maypole application and model classes. Your application should
221 call this after setting configuration via L<"config">
225 You should not call this directly, but you may wish to override this to
227 application-specific initialisation.
231 Get/set the Maypole::View object
235 sub My::App::debug {1}
237 Returns the debugging flag. Override this in your application class to
238 enable/disable debugging.
240 =head2 INSTANCE METHODS
242 =head3 parse_location
244 Turns the backend request (e.g. Apache::MVC, Maypole, CGI) into a
246 request. It does this by setting the C<path>, and invoking C<parse_path>
250 You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new
256 Returns the request path
260 Parses the request path and sets the C<args>, C<action> and C<table>
265 The table part of the Maypole request path
269 The action part of the Maypole request path
273 A list of remaining parts of the request path after table and action
279 Turns post data and query string paramaters into a hash of C<params>.
281 You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new
287 Returns a hash of request parameters. The source of the parameters may
289 depending on the Maypole backend, but they are usually populated from
291 query string and POST data.
293 B<Note:> Where muliple values of a parameter were supplied, the
296 will be an array reference.
298 =head3 get_template_root
300 Implimentation-specific path to template root.
302 You should only need to define this method if you are writing a new
304 backend. Otherwise, see L<Maypole::Config/"template_root">
308 Returns a Maypole::Constant to indicate whether the request is valid.
310 The default implimentation checks that C<$r-E<gt>table> is publicly
312 and that the model class is configured to handle the C<$r-E<gt>action>
316 Returns a Maypole::Constant to indicate whether the user is
320 The default implimentation returns C<OK>
324 Returns the perl package name that will serve as the model for the
325 request. It corresponds to the request C<table> attribute.
327 =head3 additional_data
329 Called before the model processes the request, this method gives you a
331 to do some processing for each request, for example, manipulating
336 Get/set a list of model objects. The objects will be accessible in the
340 If the first item in C<$r-E<gt>args> can be C<retrieve()>d by the model
342 it will be removed from C<args> and the retrieved object will be added
344 C<objects> list. See L<Maypole::Model> for more information.
348 $r->template_args->{foo} = 'bar';
350 Get/set a hash of template variables.
354 Get/set the template to be used by the view. By default, it returns
359 This method is called if any exceptions are raised during the
362 model/view processing. It should accept the exception as a parameter and
364 a Maypole::Constant to indicate whether the request should continue to
370 Get/set a request error
374 Get/set the response output. This is usually populated by the view
376 can skip view processing by setting the C<output>.
378 =head3 document_encoding
380 Get/set the output encoding. Default: utf-8.
384 Get/set the output content type. Default: text/html
388 Sends the output and additional headers to the user.
