=head1 NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::CurrentComponents - Declare current components more easily.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Use the plugin in your application class:

    package MyApp;
    use Catalyst 'CurrentComponents';

    # Optional configuration
    MyApp->config(
      'Plugin::CurrentComponents' => {
        model_instance_from_return => 1,
        view_instance_from_return => 1,
      },
    );

    MyApp->setup;

Then you can use it in your controllers:

    package MyApp::Controller::Example;

    use base 'Catalyst::Controller';

    sub current_model_instance {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      return $c->model("Form::Login", user_database => $c->model('Users'));
    }

    sub myaction :Local {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      my $c->model; # Isa 'MyApp::Model::Form::Login', or whatever that returns;
    }

    sub set_model :Local {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      $c->current_model_instance($c->model('Foo')); # $c->model ISA 'MyApp::Model::Foo
    }

    sub set_view :Local {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      $c->current_view_instance($c->view('Bar')); # $c->view ISA 'MyApp::View::Bar
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin gives you an alternative to setting the current_view|model(_instance)
via a controller method or via context helper methods.  You may find this a
more readable approach than setting it via the stash.

You may also enable a global option to set the current_model_instance or the
current_view_instance via the return value of an action.  See L</CONFIGURATION>

Please Seee documention about Views and Models in L<Catalyst>.

=head1 METHODS

This plugin adds the following methods to your context.

=head2 current_model

Sets $c->stash->{current_model} if an argument is passed.  Always returns the
current value of this stash key.  Expects the string name of a model.

=head2 current_model_instance

Sets $c->stash->{current_model_instance} if an argument is passed.  Always returns the
current value of this stash key.  Expects either the instance of an already created
model or can accept arguments that can be validly submitted to $c->model.

=head2 current_view

Sets $c->stash->{current_view} if an argument is passed.  Always returns the
current value of this stash key.  Expects the string new of a view.

=head2 current_view_instance

Sets $c->stash->{current_view_instance} if an argument is passed.  Always returns the
current value of this stash key.  Expects either the instance of an already created
view or can accept arguments that can be validly submitted to $c->view.

=head2 build_view

=head2 build_model

Builds the view or model and makes it the current instance.

=head1 CONTROLLER METHODS

This plugin will inspect the current controller for the following methods

=head2 current_model

=head2 current_model_instance

Same as the context methods, but lets you set this at a controller level.  Useful
for base classes or roles.  Example:


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This plugin supports configuration under the "Plugin::CurrentComponents" key.
For example:

    MyApp->config(
      'Plugin::CurrentComponents' => {
        model_instance_from_return => 1,
        view_instance_from_return => 1,
      },
    );

=head2 model_instance_from_return

Allows one to set the current_model_instance from the return value of a matched
action.  Please note this is an experimental option which is off by default.
The return value must be a defined, blessed objected that ISA L<Catalyst::Model>
for this to work.  Example:

    sub set_model_by_return :Chained(/) CaptureArgs(0) {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      return $c->model('CurrentModel'); # $c->model ISA 'MyApp::Model::CurrentModel'
    }

=head2 view_instance_from_return

Allows one to set the current_view_instance from the return value of a matched
action.  Please note this is an experimental option which is off by default.
The return value must be a defined, blessed objected that ISA L<Catalyst::View>
for this to work.  Example:

    sub set_view_by_return :Chained(/) CaptureArgs(0) {
      my ($self, $c) = @_;
      return $c->view('CurrentView'); # $c->view  ISA 'MyApp::View::CurrentView'
    }

=head2 model_instance_from_state

Often you want to set your current model instance to 'any type of object'.  The
configuration L</model_instance_from_return> expects the object to be something
in the 'MyApp::Model' namespace.  If this is not the case you can use this option.

    sub set_model_from_resultset :Chained CaptureArgs(1) {
      my ($self, $c, $id) = @_;
      return $c->model("Schema::User")->find($id);
    }

In this case the object returned is probably a 'MyApp::Schema::Result::User' so
the option L</model_instance_from_return> would not have worked.
