Catalyst::TraitFor::ReUsertContributed PerCatalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST(3)NAMECatalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST - A role to apply to
Catalyst::Request giving it REST methods and attributes.
SYNOPSIS
if ( $c->request->accepts('application/json') ) {
...
}
my $types = $c->request->accepted_content_types();
DESCRIPTION
This is a Moose::Role applied to Catalyst::Request that adds a few
methods to the request object to facilitate writing REST-y code.
Currently, these methods are all related to the content types accepted
by the client.
METHODS
data
If the request went through the Deserializer action, this method
will return the deserialized data structure.
accepted_content_types
Returns an array reference of content types accepted by the client.
The list of types is created by looking at the following sources:
· Content-type header
If this exists, this will always be the first type in the
list.
· content-type parameter
If the request is a GET request and there is a "content-
type" parameter in the query string, this will come before
any types in the Accept header.
· Accept header
This will be parsed and the types found will be ordered by
the relative quality specified for each type.
If a type appears in more than one of these places, it is ordered
based on where it is first found.
preferred_content_type
This returns the first content type found. It is shorthand for:
$request->accepted_content_types->[0]
accepts($type)
Given a content type, this returns true if the type is accepted.
Note that this does not do any wildcard expansion of types.
