# Catalyst::Action::RenderView(3pm)

Sensible default end action.

## NAME

Catalyst::Action::RenderView - Sensible default end action.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {}
```

## DESCRIPTION

This action implements a sensible default end action, which will forward to the first available view, unless `"$c->res->status"` is a 3xx code (redirection, not modified, etc.), 204 (no content), or `"$c->res->body"` has already been set. It also allows you to pass `"dump_info=1"` to the url in order to force a debug screen, while in debug mode.

If you have more than one view, you can specify which one to use with the `"default_view"` config setting and the `"current_view"` and `"current_view_instance"` stash keys (see Catalyst's `"$c->view($name)"` method -- this module simply calls `"$c->view"` with no argument).

## METHODS

### end

The default `"end"` action. You can override this as required in your application class; normal inheritance applies.

## INTERNAL METHODS

### execute

Dispatches control to superclasses, then forwards to the default View.

See "METHODS/action" in Catalyst::Action.

## SCRUBBING OUTPUT

When you force debug with dump\_info=1, RenderView is capable of removing classes from the objects in your stash. By default it will replace any DBIx::Class ResultSource objects with the class name, which cleans up the debug output considerably, but you can change what gets scrubbed by setting a list of classes in `$c`-\>config-\>{'Action::RenderView'}-\>{ignore\_classes}. For instance:

```
    $c->config->{'Action::RenderView'}->{ignore_classes} = [];
```

To disable the functionality. You can also set config-\>{'Action::RenderView'}-\>{scrubber\_func} to change what it does with the classes. For instance, this will undef it instead of putting in the class name:

```
    $c->config->{'Action::RenderView'}->{scrubber_func} = sub { undef $_ };
```

### Deprecation notice

This plugin used to be configured by setting `"$c->config->{debug}"`. That configuration key is still supported in this release, but is deprecated, please use the ` 'Action::RenderView' ` namespace as shown above for configuration in new code.

## EXTENDING

To add something to an `"end"` action that is called before rendering, simply place it in the `"end"` method:

```
    sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
        # do stuff here; the RenderView action is called afterwards
    }
```

To add things to an `"end"` action that are called *after* rendering, you can set it up like this:

```
    sub render : ActionClass('RenderView') { }
    sub end : Private {
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
        $c->forward('render');
        # do stuff here
    }
```
