NAME

Catalyst::Action::Deserialize - Deserialize Data in a Request

SYNOPSIS

     package Foo::Controller::Bar;
 
     __PACKAGE__->config(
         'default'   => 'text/x-yaml',
         'stash_key' => 'rest',
         'map'       => {
             'text/x-yaml'        => 'YAML',
             'text/x-data-dumper' => [ 'Data::Serializer', 'Data::Dumper' ],
         },
     );
 
     sub begin :ActionClass('Deserialize') {}
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This action will deserialize HTTP POST, PUT, and OPTIONS requests. It assumes that the body of the HTTP Request is a serialized object. The serializer is selected by introspecting the requests content-type header.

The specifics of deserializing each content-type is implemented as a plugin to Catalyst::Action::Deserialize. You can see a list of currently implemented plugins in Catalyst::Controller::REST.

The results of your Deserializing will wind up in $c->req->data. This is done through the magic of Catalyst::Request::REST.

While it is common for this Action to be called globally as a "begin" method, there is nothing stopping you from using it on a single routine:

    sub foo :Local :Action('Deserialize') {}
 
 

Will work just fine.

When you use this module, the request class will be changed to Catalyst::Request::REST.

SEE ALSO

You likely want to look at Catalyst::Controller::REST, which implements a sensible set of defaults for a controller doing REST.
