package Catalyst::View; use Moose; extends qw/Catalyst::Component/; =head1 NAME Catalyst::View - Catalyst View base class =head1 SYNOPSIS package Catalyst::View::Homebrew; use base qw/Catalyst::View/; sub process { # template processing goes here. } =head1 DESCRIPTION This is the Catalyst View base class. It's meant to be used as a base class by Catalyst views. As a convention, views are expected to read template names from $c->stash->{template}, and put the output into $c->res->body. Some views default to render a template named after the dispatched action's private name. (See L.) =head1 METHODS Implements the same methods as other Catalyst components, see L =head2 process gives an error message about direct use. =cut sub process { Catalyst::Exception->throw( message => ( ref $_[0] || $_[0] ). " directly inherits from Catalyst::View. You need to\n". " inherit from a subclass like Catalyst::View::TT instead.\n" ); } =head1 AUTHORS Catalyst Contributors, see =head1 COPYRIGHT This library is free software.
