Cataly...t::REST(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Catalyst::Request::REST — bestie, it's a REST-y subclass of Catalyst::Request ✨

(Yes, it lives in section 3pm of the Perl manual. We love a documented queen 👑)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

     if ( $c->request->accepts('application/json') ) {
         ...
     }

     my $types = $c->request->accepted_content_types();

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: it's a subclass of Catalyst::Request that slaps the Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST role onto your request class. That trait adds a couple of methods to the request object so you can write your REST-y code without suffering 😌💅

Big sis energy note though — this class is only here for backwards compatibility with apps that already subclass this class. If you're writing new code? New code should use Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST directly. No cap, that's the move 🫶

Also, Catalyst::Action::REST and Catalyst::Controller::REST will arrange for the request trait to be applied if needed — so they've got you, they handle it ✨
