hi all

In Ruby we can detect if the current form's request is a post or not.

def controller_action
  if request.post?
            # Process post data as the user has submitted the form.
  else
      # Display form
  end
end


Looking at Catalyst::Request
(
http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.71001/lib/Catalyst/Request.pm#$req-%3Eprotocol <http://search.cpan.org/%7Emramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.71001/lib/Catalyst/Request.pm#$req-%3Eprotocol >
),
I found $req->method. The description says, "Contains the request method
(GET, POST, HEAD, etc)."

So, in Catalyst, would it be sufficient for me to do something like:

Yes, as the docs say, that's what it is for :)

$c->req->method eq 'POST' will do what you want. You should not do any
processing on a GET request, though.  It is just bad practice.


Also from Catalyst::Request docs you have

$req->body_parameters ( or body_params ) for POST
$req->query_parameters for ( or query_params) GET

if you want to lump them together, just use $req->parameters or $req- >params (not $req->param which is a disrecommended CGI.pm compat method).
