[Pas-dev] Proposal: Generate Simple Execute Methods

[Kyle R . B. <mo...@vo...>]

package Com::Domain::Site::Login;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Org::Bgw::Pas::Page;
our @ISA = qw( Org::Bgw::Pas::Page );

Com::Domain::Site::Basket->installExecuteSwitch(
  'param' => 'action',
	'map'   => {
    'default' => 'showLoginForm',
    'login'   => 'handleUserLoggingIn',
    'logout'  => 'handleUserLoggingOut',
	}
);
# that code would then create your execute method for you. The method looks like
# this:
# sub execute
# {
#   my($self) = @_;
#   unless( defined( $self->query->param('action') ) ) { 
#     return $self->showLoginForm;
#   }
#  return $self->handleUserLoggingIn  if 'login'  eq $self->query->param('action') ;
#  return $self->handleUserLoggingOut if 'logout' eq $self->query->param('action') ;
# }
#
# 'action' could have been any parameter that your HTML pages pass to
# the page object to switch it's behavior (this is a commonly used technique
# when you want the page to act differently based on an input parameter).

# now you don't even need an execute method, these methods will just
# get called when the corresponding action is encountered!
sub showLoginForm
{
  my($self) = @_;
	return $self->forward_request('loginForm.psp');
}

sub handleUserLoggingIn
{
  my($self) = @_;
	# do whatever it means to log in on your site...
	return $self->response->set_redirect('/pas/Main');
}

sub handleUserLoggingOut
{
  my($self) = @_;
	# do whatever it means to log out on your site...
	return $self->forward_request('loggedOut.psp');
}
