Hi all,
I need to create a Model class that returns an object that is mostly build
during component initialization time, but also has access to the current
request. The API will look like this:
sub my_action {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
my $formfu = $c->model('FormFu');
my $book_form = $formfu->form('book');
# do stuff with $book_form
}
The main $formfu object is built during app initialization time - it reads
configuration files, builds a bunch of forms and does onther expensive tasks.
When $c->model('FormFu') is invoked, I want to add to $formfu information about
any query parameters from the current request before returning it, so that I
can use it with the forms that are accessed afterwards. I tried something like
the following:
package Catalyst::Model::FormFu;
use parent 'Catalyst::Model';
sub COMPONENT {
# get configuration options for this component,
# build and cache all forms,
# and put them into $self
}
sub ACCEPT_CONTEXT {
# get query parameters, add them to $self
# and return it
}
sub form {
# get the requsted form from the cache,
# add info about the current query and return it
}
However, if there is a 'COMPONENT' or 'new' sub, 'ACCEPT_CONTEXT' never gets
called.
What is the right way to address this problem?
Cheers,
--
Peter
