[Catalyst] KISS - Base Subroutines.

[Andrew]

Thanks for your suggestion, Tony, =).

In your example, is HelpUtils a .pm file?
And if so, where in the Catalyst folder structure would it be placed?
Would I need to create a folder called Role?

  Put a subroutine in a separate place, where it can be accessed / called, by
  whatever controllers need to use it? 
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
  Why not put all your subroutines in a Role  and consume the role in your main application class. 

  Package Role::HelpUtils; 
  use Moose::Role; 

  sub redirect_to_action { 
          my ($c, $controller, $action, @params) =@_; 
          $c->response->redirect($c->uri_for($c->controller($controller)->action_for($action), @params)); 
          $c->detach; 
  } 

  1; 

  In your main app class, simply use the role 
  package MyApp; 
  use Moose; 
  use Catalyst::Runtime ; 
  with 'Role::HelpUtils'; 

  You can then access the subroutines using  e.g $c->redirect_to_action() 



  Thanks

  Okay, no worries, I've done it now.

  Created a folder called CommonUse to exist alongside Controller, View, and
  Model folders, and hold perl modules that are commonly used, =).

  Create a file in the folder.

  Put my subroutine in the file.

  Then in the controller I want to find the subroutine, where it normally
  says:
  BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller' }
  ...I switch it to say:
  BEGIN { extends 'MyApp::CommonUse::File' }
  ....where MyApp is the name of my app, and File is the name of the perl
  module file I created in the CommonUse folder.
  Then that controller can call the subroutine, and everything seems to work,
  =).

  I read online, you could also put subrountines inside of Myapp.pm within the
  lib folder, and all controllers could access it. I did try that, however, I
  couldn't get it working, so any pointers on that appreciated.

  Yours,
  Andrew.

  Is there a keep it simple stupid answer to the following question:

  Put a subroutine in a separate place, where it can be accessed / called, by
  whatever controllers need to use it?
