Catalyst::Helper - Bootstrap a Catalyst application

See Catalyst::Manual::Intro

Bootstrap a Catalyst application. Autogenerates scripts

get_file

Slurp file from DATA.

mk_app

Create the main application skeleton.

mk_component

This method is called by create.pl to make new components for your application.

mk_dir

Surprisingly, this function makes a directory.

mk_file

writes content to a file.

next_test

render_file

Render and create a file from a template in DATA using Template Toolkit.

Helpers are classes that provide two methods.

    * mk_compclass - creates the Component class
    * mk_comptest  - creates the Component test

So when you call CWbin/create view MyView TT, create would try to execute Catalyst::Helper::View::TT->mk_compclass and Catalyst::Helper::View::TT->mk_comptest.

See Catalyst::Helper::View::TT and Catalyst::Helper::Model::CDBI for examples.

All helper classes should be under one of the following namespaces.

    Catalyst::Helper::Model::
    Catalyst::Helper::View::
    Catalyst::Helper::Controller::

The helpers will read author name from /etc/passwd by default. To override, please export the AUTHOR variable.
