CatalystX::Controller::ExtJS::Direct::API - API and router controller for Ext.Direct



NAME

CatalystX::Controller::ExtJS::Direct::API - API and router controller for Ext.Direct


VERSION

version 1.120000


ACTIONS

router

Every request to the API is going to hit this action, since the API's url will point to this action.

You can change the url to this action via the class configuration.

Example:

  package MyApp::Controller::API;
  __PACKAGE__->config( action => { router => { Path => 'callme' } } );
  1;

The router is now available at /api/callme.

index

This action is called when you access the namespace of the API. It will load api and return the JSON encoded API to the client. Since this class utilizes the Catalyst::Controller::REST manpage you can specify a content type in the request header and get the API encoded accordingly.


METHODS

api

Returns the API as a HashRef.

Example:

 {
    url => '/api/router',
    type => 'remote',
    actions => {
        Calc => {
            methods => [
                    { name => 'add', len => 2 },
                    { name => 'subtract', len => 0 }
                ]
        }
    }
  }

encoded_api

This method returns the JSON encoded API which is useful when you want to include the API in a JavaScript file.

Example:

  Ext.app.REMOTING_API = [% c.controller('API').encoded_api %];
  Ext.Direct.addProvider(Ext.app.REMOTING_API);
  
  Calc.add(1, 3, function(provider, response) {
    // process response
  });
