I would very much appreciate feedback on my approach to using my TT
view with REST. I'm just playing with the AdventREST example
trying to understand the whole REST thing.
I created a class (lib/AdventREST/MyREST.pm) for my controllers to
inherit from. This class inherits from Catalyst::Controller::REST.
In MyREST.pm, I override the 'end' method to either use the
RenderView ActionClass or the Serialize ActionClass:
sub _renderview : ActionClass('RenderView') {}
sub _serialize : ActionClass('Serialize') {}
sub end : Private {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
if ( $self->want_renderview($c) ) {
$c->forward('_renderview');
}
else {
$c->forward('_serialize');
}
where the want_renderview() method can be written however you want
to (using the Content-Type or file extension or whatever).
That looks totally reasonable to me. What we are talking about it
basically codifying that as a Serialization type, so that people can
pass various content-types through to a given view.
