NAME

Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::Methods - Add enumerated methods for HTTP requests

VERSION

version v0.5.2

SYNOPSIS

In the Catalyst class

__PACKAGE__->config(
  request_class_traits => [
      'Methods'
  ]
);

In any code that uses a Catalyst::Request, e.g.

if ($c->request->is_post) {
    ...
}

DESCRIPTION

This trait adds enumerated methods from RFC 7231 and RFC 5789 for checking the HTTP request method.

Using these methods is a less error-prone alternative to checking a case-sensitive string with the method name.

In other words, you can use

$c->request->is_get

instead of

$c->request->method eq "GET"

The methods are implemented as lazy read-only attributes.

METHODS

is_get

The request method is GET.

is_head

The request method is HEAD.

is_post

The request method is POST.

is_put

The request method is PUT.

is_delete

The request method is DELETE.

is_connect

The request method is CONNECT.

is_options

The request method is OPTIONS.

is_trace

The request method is TRACE.

is_patch

The request method is PATCH.

is_unrecognized_method

The request method is not recognized.

SUPPORT FOR OLDER PERL VERSIONS

This module requires Perl v5.14 or later.

Future releases may only support Perl versions released in the last ten years.
