[Catalyst] Catalyst::Controller::REST and Serializer/Deserializer

[Francisco Obispo]

This is what I usually do:

1) install Catalyst::View::JSON

2) Add the view to your app: ./script/myapp_create.pl view JSON JSON

3) in the .conf file add:

<View::JSON>
  allow_callback 0
  expose_stash data
</View::JSON>

4) in the controller:

If the whole controller (.pm) will return JSON data, just add this to the end:


sub end : Private {
  my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
  if ( $c->stash->{data} ) {
    $c->forward('View::JSON');
    return 1;
  }

  return;
}


if you want to selectively send it in a method:


sub hello : Local {
  my ($self,$c) = @_;

  my $data={ hello => 'world!'};

  $c->stash->{data} = $data;
  $c->forward('View::JSON');

  return 1;

};


Hope this helps
