Catalyst::Middleware::Stash - The Catalyst stash - in middleware
We've moved the Catalyst stash to middleware. Please don't use this directly since it is likely to move off the Catalyst namespace into a stand alone distribution
We store a coderef under the PSGI_KEY which can be dereferenced with key values or nothing to access the underlying hashref.
PSGI_KEY
Anything placed into the stash will be available in the stash of any 'mounted' Catalyst applications. A mounted Catalyst application may set the stash and 'pass back' information to the parent application. Non Catalyst applications may use this middleware to access and set stash values.
Please note I highly recommend having a stronger interface than a stash key between applications.
For more information the current test case t/middleware-stash.t is the best documentation.
This class defines the following subroutines.
Returns the hash key where we store the stash. You should not assume the string value here will never change! Also, its better to use "get_stash" or "stash".
Expect: $psgi_env.
Exportable subroutine.
Get the stash out of the $env.
$env
Expects: An object that does env and arguments
env
Given an object with a method env get or set stash values, either as a method or via hashref modification. This stash is automatically reset for each request (it is not persistent or shared across connected clients. Stash key / value are stored in memory.
use Plack::Request; use Catalyst::Middleware::Stash 'stash'; my $app = sub { my $env = shift; my $req = Plack::Request->new($env); my $stashed = $req->stash->{in_the_stash}; # Assume the stash was previously populated. return [200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], ["I found $stashed in the stash!"]]; };
If the stash does not yet exist, an exception is thrown.
This class defines the following methods.
