This is the same layout I have for my chained actions, and I went
through the same "huh?" phase as well.
You seem to be on the right track so far. Here is a quick copy / paste
/ hack job of my layout adapted to your examples. Won't go in to too
much detail since I am busy at work, so let me know if this needs
clarified further.
In Foo::Controller::Admin (left off "Form" attrib in examples, just
showing the chain layout)...
# Not chained, responds to /admin
sub index : Private { ... }
# Not chained, responds to /admin/add
sub sub add : Local { ... }
# Captures a book id in the chain for use by further chained actions
# You would validate the id, grab it from the model, and put it in
# the stash here
sub get_book : PathPart('admin') Chained CaptureArgs(1)
{
my ( $self, $c, $id) = @_;
...
}
# Chain endpoint for viewing book, responds to /admin/99
sub view : PathPart('') Chained('get_book') Args(0) { ... }
# Chain endpoint for editing book, responds to /admin/99/edit
sub edit : Chained('get_book') Args(0) { ... }
# Chain endpoint for deleting book, responds to /admin/99/delete
sub delete : Chained('get_book') Args(0) { ... }
Hope that helps!

Hey guys, this very well may be due purely to my lack of experience in this
matter, but I'm having trouble getting chained actions working the way I
WANT them to work and I'm suspicious the way I want them to work is not the
way they're intended to work.
Here's the situation: I want the application to have public paths like
these:
/admin List of all existing "books" you can look at
/admin/add Form (FormBuilder) for adding a new book
/admin/99 Detailed output of data on book 99
/admin/99/edit Form (FormBuilder) for editing book 99 data
/admin/99/delete Form for confirming deletion of book 99
Looking at the Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained documentation, it's not
obvious (to me, anyway) how I should go about this.
The way I see it, /admin should be handled by a:
package Foo::Controller::Admin;
sub index : private {...}
and /admin/add should be handled by a:
sub add : Local Form {...}
So, how exactly would someone suggest I set up the chained handlers for the
other paths? I had something like this:
sub detail :PathPart('admin') Chained('/') Args(1) {...}
And that worked for the /admin/99 path, but nothing I can muster up seems
to match the /admin/99/{edit,delete} paths.
Any thoughts from those more experienced than me?
