## NAME

Catalyst::View::Petal - Petal View Class

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # use the helper
    create.pl view Petal Petal
    # lib/MyApp/View/Petal.pm
    package MyApp::View::Petal;
    use base 'Catalyst::View::Petal';

## DESCRIPTION

This is the `"Petal"` view class. Your subclass should inherit from this class.

### METHODS

- process

  Renders the template specified in `"$c->stash->{template}"` or `"$c->request->match"`. Template variables are set up from the contents of `"$c->stash"`, augmented with `"base"` set to `"$c->req->base"`, `"c"` to `$c` and `"name"` to `"$c->config->{name}"`.  Output is stored in `"$c->response->body"`.

- config

  This allows your view subclass to pass additional settings to the Petal config hash.
