NAME
CatalystX::Controller::ExtJS::Direct::API - API and router controller for Ext.Direct
VERSION
version 2.1.2
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Controller::API;
use Moose;
extends 'CatalystX::Controller::ExtJS::Direct::API';
1;
<script type="text/javascript" src="/api/src?namespace=MyApp.Direct"></script>
<script>Ext.Direct.addProvider(Ext.app.REMOTING_API);</script>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.
src
Provides the API as JavaScript. Include this action in your web application as shown in the "SYNOPSIS". To set the namespace for the API, pass a namespace query parameter:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/api/src?namespace=MyApp.Direct"></script>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 Catalyst::Controller::REST 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
