Catalyst::View::Component::SubInclude::HTTP - HTTP plugin for C::V::Component::SubInclude

In your view class:

    package MyApp::View::TT;
    use Moose;

    extends 'Catalyst::View::TT';
    with 'Catalyst::View::Component::SubInclude';

    __PACKAGE__->config(
        subinclude_plugin => 'HTTP::GET',
        subinclude => {
            'HTTP::GET' => {
                class => 'HTTP',
                http_method => 'GET',
                ua_timeout => '10',
                uri_map => {
                    '/my/' => 'http://localhost:5000/',
                },
            },
            'HTTP::POST' => {
                class => 'HTTP',
                http_method => 'POST',
                ua_timeout => '10',
                uri_map => {
                    '/foo/' => 'http://www.foo.com/',
                },
            },
        },
    );

Then, somewhere in your templates:

    [% subinclude('/my/widget') %]
    ...
    [% subinclude_using('HTTP::POST', '/foo/path', { foo => 1 }) %]

Catalyst::View::Component::SubInclude::HTTP does HTTP requests (currently using LWP::UserAgent) and uses the responses to render subinclude contents.

The configuration is passed in the subinclude key based on your plugin name which can be arbitrary.

class

Required just in case your plugin name differs from HTTP.

http_method

Accepts GET and POST as values. The default one is GET.

user_agent

This lazily builds a LWP::UserAgent obj, however you can pass a different user agent obj that implements the required API.

ua_timeout

User Agent's timeout config param. Defaults to 10 seconds.

uri_map

This expects a HashRef in order to map paths to different URLs.

base_url

Used only if uri_map is undef and defaults to $c->request->base.

Note that $path should be the relative path.
