[Catalyst] Re: Tweaking REST

[Greg McAlpin]

I would very much appreciate feedback on my approach to using my TT view with REST.  I'm just playing with the AdventREST example trying to understand the whole REST thing.
   
  I created a class (lib/AdventREST/MyREST.pm) for my controllers to inherit from.  This class inherits from Catalyst::Controller::REST.
   
  In MyREST.pm, I override the 'end' method to either use the RenderView ActionClass or the Serialize ActionClass:
   
  sub _renderview : ActionClass('RenderView') {}
  sub _serialize : ActionClass('Serialize') {}
   
  sub end : Private {
 my ($self, $c) = @_;
  
 if ( $self->want_renderview($c) ) {
  $c->forward('_renderview');
 }
 else {
  $c->forward('_serialize');
  }

  where the want_renderview() method can be written however you want to (using the Content-Type or file extension or whatever).

  Thanks.
   
  Greg
