Subject: [Catalyst] Find Action via Public Path.
Message-ID: <000001d36d86$37a853e0$4d02a8c0@home>

Hello,

Hope you're all well, =).

Do any of you know what the best way to find an action name, via a public path, may be?
I found $c->dispatcher->get_action_by_path($path) only works for private paths internal to our app.

So for example, if we have:
website.com/coolpage
...I've got the string "coolpage" and I want to call the associated action within my catalyst app.
I thought it would be more secure to use the string to look up a corresponding action name / subroutine, and then call that subroutine, rather than call a request for whatever happens to be in the string.

Any advice, appreciated.

Many thanks,

Yours,
Andrew M.

No one has replied yet, so I've taken to accomplishing the end result I was after using this:
http://wiki.catalystframework.org/wiki/wikicookbook/safedispatchusingpath

Basically...

 my $string="coolpage";
 $c->request->path($string);
 $c->dispatcher->prepare_action($c);
 $c->go($c->action, $c->request->args);
