NAME

Padre::Plugin::Catalyst - Catalyst helper interface for Padre

VERSION

version 0.13

SYNOPSIS

cpan install Padre::Plugin::Catalyst;

Then use it via Padre, The Perl IDE.

DESCRIPTION

As all Padre plugins, after installation you need to enable it via "Plugins->Plugin Manager".

Once you enable it, you should see a 'Catalyst Dev Server' panel on the bottom of your screen (probably next to your 'output' tab). This panel lets you start/stop your application's development server, and also set the auto-restart option for the server to reload itself whenever you change your application's modules or configuration files.

You'll also get a brand new menu (Plugins->Catalyst) with the following options:

'New Catalyst Application'

This options lets you create a new Catalyst application.

'Create new...'

The Catalyst helper lets you automatically create stub classes for your application's MVC components. With this menu option not only can you select your component's name but also its type. For instance, if you select "create new view" and have the Catalyst::Helper::View::TT module installed on your system, the "TT" type will be available for you).

Of course, the available components are:

  • 'Model'

  • 'View'

  • 'Controller'

'Start Web Server'

This option will automatically spawn your application's development web server. Once it's started, it will ask to open your default web browser to view your application running.

The server output should appear in your "Catalyst Dev Server" panel.

'Stop Web Server'

This option will stop the development web server for you.

'Catalyst Online References'

This menu option contains a series of external reference links on Catalyst. Clicking on each of them will point your default web browser to their websites.

'Update Application Scripts'

This option lets you update your application's scripts, upgrading it to a new version of Catalyst (if available)

'About'

Shows a nice about box with this module's name and version, as well as your installed Catalyst version.
