I have a number of chained actions that use an end() method that generates a
json response in a view.
Another developer added an action to support a POST, and at the end of the
action they call $c->visit on a few actions to build up a response -- I
assume to avoid making a few extra ajax requests. $c->visit does a full
dispatch so auto and end methods are called for each visit, plus for the
original action. But, because of the chained actions, $c->visit makes
running the requests very simple.
Yes, normally the POST would be followed by a redirect, but this POST is a
file upload in an iframe an a json response is desired. But, doing this
partial re-dispatch has also come with GET requests.
Any tricks to do a $c->visit type of call but w/o doing a full dispatch,
that is, without calling the auto and end actions?
I suppose I could do something like this, but it's not very pretty.
for my $action_name ( @action_names_to_run ) {
local $c->req->{method} = 'GET';
local $c->request->{arguments} = [];
local $c->request->{captures} = [ $item_id ];
my $action = $c->controller->action_for( $action_name );
$action = $c->dispatcher->expand_action($action);
local $c->{action} = $action;
$action->dispatch( $c );
}
