NAME

       Catalyst::Dispatcher - The Catalyst Dispatcher

SYNOPSIS

       See Catalyst.

DESCRIPTION

       This is the class that maps public urls to actions in your Catalyst application based on
       the attributes you set.

METHODS

   new
       Construct a new dispatcher.

   $self->preload_dispatch_types
       An arrayref of pre-loaded dispatchtype classes

       Entries are considered to be available as "Catalyst::DispatchType::CLASS" To use a custom
       class outside the regular "Catalyst" namespace, prefix it with a "+", like so:

           +My::Dispatch::Type

   $self->postload_dispatch_types
       An arrayref of post-loaded dispatchtype classes

       Entries are considered to be available as "Catalyst::DispatchType::CLASS" To use a custom
       class outside the regular "Catalyst" namespace, prefix it with a "+", like so:

           +My::Dispatch::Type

   $self->dispatch($c)
       Delegate the dispatch to the action that matched the url, or return a message about
       unknown resource

   $self->visit( $c, $command [, \@arguments ] )
       Documented in Catalyst

   $self->go( $c, $command [, \@arguments ] )
       Documented in Catalyst

   $self->forward( $c, $command [, \@arguments ] )
       Documented in Catalyst

   $self->detach( $c, $command [, \@arguments ] )
       Documented in Catalyst

   $self->prepare_action($c)
       Find an dispatch type that matches $c->req->path, and set args from it.

   $self->get_action( $action_name, $namespace )
       returns a named action from a given namespace.  $action_name may be a relative path on
       that $namespace such as

           $self->get_action('../bar', 'foo/baz');

       In which case we look for the action at 'foo/bar'.

   $self->get_action_by_path( $path );
       Returns the named action by its full private path.

       This method performs some normalization on $path so that if it includes '..' it will do
       the right thing (for example if $path is '/foo/../bar' that is normalized to '/bar'.

   $self->get_actions( $c, $action, $namespace )
   $self->get_containers( $namespace )
       Return all the action containers for a given namespace, inclusive

   $self->uri_for_action($action, \@captures)
       Takes a Catalyst::Action object and action parameters and returns a URI part such that if
       $c->req->path were this URI part, this action would be dispatched to with
       $c->req->captures set to the supplied arrayref.

       If the action object is not available for external dispatch or the dispatcher cannot
       determine an appropriate URI, this method will return undef.

   expand_action
       expand an action into a full representation of the dispatch.  mostly useful for chained,
       other actions will just return a single action.

   $self->register( $c, $action )
       Make sure all required dispatch types for this action are loaded, then pass the action to
       our dispatch types so they can register it if required.  Also, set up the tree with the
       action containers.

   $self->setup_actions( $class, $context )
       Loads all of the pre-load dispatch types, registers their actions and then loads all of
       the post-load dispatch types, and iterates over the tree of actions, displaying the debug
       information if appropriate.

   $self->dispatch_type( $type )
       Get the DispatchType object of the relevant type, i.e. passing $type of "Chained" would
       return a Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained object (assuming of course it's being used.)
