# Jifty::View(3pm)

Base class for view modules

## NAME

Jifty::View - Base class for view modules

## DESCRIPTION

This is the base class for Jifty::View::Declare and Jifty::View::Mason::Handler, which are the two view plugins shipped with Jifty. Other view plugins can be built by extending this class.

## METHODS

### auto\_send\_headers

Doesn't send headers if this is a subrequest (according to the current Jifty::Request).

### out\_method

The default output method.  Sets the content-type to `"text/html;` `charset=utf-8"` unless a content type has already been set, and then sends a header if need be.
