NAME CatalystX::InjectComponent - Inject components into your Catalyst application VERSION version 0.025 SYNOPSIS package My::App; use Catalyst::Runtime '5.80'; use Moose; BEGIN { extends qw/Catalyst/ } ... after 'setup_components' => sub { my $class = shift; CatalystX::InjectComponent->inject( into => $class, component => 'MyModel' ); if ( $class->config->{ ... ) { CatalystX::InjectComponent->inject( into => $class, component => 'MyRootV2', as => 'Controller::Root' ); } else { CatalystX::InjectComponent->inject( into => $class, component => 'MyRootV1', as => 'Root' ); # Controller:: will be automatically prefixed } }; DESCRIPTION CatalystX::InjectComponent will inject Controller, Model, and View components into your Catalyst application at setup (run)time. It does this by creating a new package on-the-fly, having that package extend the given component, and then having Catalyst setup the new component (via "->setup_component") So, how do I use this thing? You should inject your components when appropriate, typically after "setup_compenents" runs If you're using the Moose version of Catalyst, then you can use the following technique: use Moose; BEGIN { extends qw/Catalyst/ } after 'setup_components' => sub { my $class = shift; CatalystX::InjectComponent->inject( into => $class, ... ) }; METHODS CatalystX::InjectComponent->inject( ... ) into The Catalyst package to inject into (e.g. My::App) component The component package to inject as An optional moniker to use as the package name for the derived component For example: ->inject( into => My::App, component => Other::App::Controller::Apple ) The above will create 'My::App::Controller::Other::App::Controller::Apple' ->inject( into => My::App, component => Other::App::Controller::Apple, as => Apple ) The above will create 'My::App::Controller::Apple' ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Inspired by Catalyst::Plugin::AutoCRUD AUTHOR Robert Krimen COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2012 by Robert Krimen.
