Hi all,
We're trying to make our REST API a bit more friendly, We have a base class
for our REST API which inherits from Catalyst::Controller::REST. Our various
REST classes which inherit from this and each class can identify the query
parameters it accepts. So we thought it would be nice to put this into the
base class:
sub doc : Regex('/doc$') {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
$c->stash->{params} = $c->forward('allowed_query_params');
}
And from there, every REST url could have /doc/ added to the end to show which
query parameters it accepts.
It doesn't work. $self is *always* a PIPs::C::API::V1::Franchise instance, no
matter which URL is called. This appears to be because of this:
[26 Feb 2009 15:07:40,509] [Catalyst.Dispatcher] [DEBUG] Loaded Private
actions:
.-----------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------.
| Private | Class | Method
|
+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------+
...
| /api/v1/franchise/doc | PIPs::C::Api::V1::Franchise | doc
|
So the very first instance of the "doc" method dispatches through Franchise,
even if the controller for a given URL would be API::V1::Warning or something
like that.
How can I work around this? LocalRegex doesn't work, obviously, and chained
actions don't seem appropriate because, due to the nature of our app, we never
know how many path parts will be between '/api/v1/' and '/doc/'.
What am I missing? :)
Cheers,
Ovid
