NAME
Catalyst::View::REST::Data::Serializer - Data::Serializer View Class
SYNOPSIS
# lib/MyApp/View/REST.pm
package MyApp::View::REST;
use base 'Catalyst::View::REST::Data::Serializer';
1;
$c->forward('MyApp::View::REST');DESCRIPTION
This is the Data::Serializer view class. It can be used to use any number of Serialization methods (YAML, Storable, Data::Dumper) to implement a REST view. It also supports optional compression, encryption, and a host of other useful goodies.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Any of the options you can pass to Data::Serializer you can put into $c->config->{'serializer'}, and have them passed on to it. If you don't pass any options, the following are used:
serializer => 'Data::Dumper',
digester => 'SHA1',
cipher => 'Blowfish',
secret => undef,
portable => '1',
compress => '0',
serializer_token => '1',
options => {},They are the same as the Data::Serializer defaults. The two additional options are:
astext
Setting this to a true value will allow you to pass the "astext=1" param to any request processed by this View. The results will be the contents of $c->stash passed through to Data::Dumper, as opposed to your Serialized object.
This should be turned off in production environments concerned about security. It's great for debugging, though!
raw
Setting this to a true value will cause Data::Serializer to call the "raw" version of the regular serialize function (raw_serialize). The effect is the same as just using the underlying Serializer directly.
OVERLOADED METHODS
process
Serializes $c->stash to $c->response->output. If you pass "astext=1" as a param, and the $c->config->{'serializer'}->{'astext'} option is true, then it will return the output of the stash via Data::Dumper.
