hi all
In Ruby we can detect if the current form's request is a post or not.
def controller_action
if request.post?
# Process post data as the user has submitted the form.
else
# Display form
end
end
Looking at Catalyst::Request
(http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.71001/lib/Catalyst/Request.pm#$req-%3Eprotocol),
I found $req->method. The description says, "Contains the request method
(GET, POST, HEAD, etc)."
So, in Catalyst, would it be sufficient for me to do something like:
sub controller_action : Path('registration')
{
if (($c->request->method eq 'POST') or ($c->request->method eq 'GET'))
{
# Process post data as the user has submitted the form.
}
else
{
# Display form
}
return 1;
}
Comments? Thanks
