=head1 DESCRIPTION
A view module to help in the convenience of downloading data into many
supportable formats.
=head1 SUBROUTINES
=head2 process
This method will be called by Catalyst if it is asked to forward to a component
without a specified action.
=head2 render
Allows others to use this view for much more fine-grained content generation.
=head1 CONFIG
=over
=item stash_key
Determines the key in the stash this view will look for when attempting to
retrieve the type of format to process. If this key isn't found it will search
for a Content-Type header for the format. Further if neither are found a
default format will be applied.
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'stash_key'} = 'content_type';
=item default
Determines which Content-Type to use by default. Default: 'text/plain'
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config('default' => 'text/plain');
=item content_type
A hash ref of hash refs. Each key in content_type is Content-Type that is
handled by this view.
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'content_type'}{'text/csv'} = {
outfile_ext => 'csv',
module => 'My::Module'
};
The Content-Type key refers to it's own hash of parameters to determine the
actions thie view should take for that Content-Type.
'outfile_ext' - The extenstion of the file that will downloaded.
'module' - The name of the module that will handle data output. If there is
a plus symbol '+' at the beginning of the module name, this will indicate that
the module is either a MyApp::View module or a Catalyst::View module and
the appropriate namespace will be added to the beginning of the module name.
# Module Loaded: Catalyst::View::Download::CSV
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')
->config
->{'content_type'}{'text/csv'}{'module'} = '+Download::CSV';
# Module Loaded: My::Module::CSV
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')
->config
->{'content_type'}{'text/csv'}{'module'} = 'My::Module::CSV';
=back
=head1 Content-Type Module Requirements
Any module set as 'the' module for a certain Content-Type needs to have a
subroutine named 'render' that returns the content to output with the
following parameters handled.
=over
=item $c
The catalyst $c variable
=item $template
In case a template file is needed for the module. This view will pass
$c->stash->{template} as this value.
=item $args
A list of arguments the module will use to process the data into content.
This view will pass $c->stash as this value.
=back
=head1 INCLUDED CONTENT TYPES
=head2 text/csv
Catalyst::View::Download has the following default configuration for this
Content-Type.
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'content_type'}{'text/csv'} = {
outfile_ext => 'csv',
module => '+Download::CSV'
};
See L<Catalyst::View::Download::CSV> for more details.
=head2 text/html
Catalyst::View::Download has the following default configuration for this
Content-Type.
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'content_type'}{'text/html'} = {
outfile_ext => 'html',
module => '+Download::HTML'
};
See L<Catalyst::View::Download::HTML> for more details.
=head2 text/plain
Catalyst::View::Download has the following default configuration for this
Content-Type.
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'default'} = 'text/plain';
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'content_type'}{'text/plain'} = {
outfile_ext => 'txt',
module => '+Download::Plain'
};
See L<Catalyst::View::Download::Plain> for more details.
=head2 text/xml
Catalyst::View::Download has the following default configuration for this
Content-Type.
$c->view('MyApp::View::Download')->config->{'content_type'}{'text/xml'} = {
outfile_ext => 'xml',
module => '+Download::XML'
};
