That's exactly what I would like to see. I got the first book
(thanks!)
and would buy such a cookbook immediately.
Seconded... and, like one of the previous posters, I've just emailed
(proposals@) O'Reilly (.com) making a case for Catalyst Cookbook/Best
Practices.
Thanks for that. The next book is only going to happen if a proper
publisher ponies up a proper advance, contract and co.
There is need for discussion though. i had a look at the source for
Catalyst::Model::File the other day, and while what it does is
pretty easy to understand, I don't really understand why moose is in
there for example. So what I'm saying is things like "common idioms
you'll see in catalyst model and controller code".
Moose is in there for InstancePerContext, so that you can do:
$c->model('File')->cd('foo/bar');
$c->model('File'')->slurp('file.txt');
to access the contents of $configured_root_dir/foo/bar/file.txt.
I could have written the ACCEPT_CONTEXT sub myself, but DRY and all
that.
