Mojolicious Helpers outside of contollers

MayVortex has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Good Day!

package SUi;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious';
sub startup {
my $self = shift;
$self->helper('db' => sub { some stuff });
$self->routesr->any('/store')->to('ui#store')
}
[download]

package SUi::Ui;
use SUi::Ext;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';
sub store{
my ($self) = @_;

my $db = $self->db; //Works!
my $req = $self->req->param(); //Works!

my $ext = SUi::Ext->new();
$ext->test()
}
[download]

package SUi::Ext;
use Mojo::Base 'Mojolicious::Controller';
sub text{
my ($self) = @_;
my $db = $self->db; //Does't work!
my $db = $self->app->db; //Does't wotk
my $req = $self->req->param(); //Doen't work!
my $req = $self->app->req->param(); //Doen't work!
}

So... How to access helpers and other Mojolicious stuff from outside of controller? Thank you for help!

First the "jokes" Read more... (420 Bytes) Now back to the question :) `... my $ext = SUi::Ext->new();` [download] Why are you creating another controller instance inside a controller? Why aren't you passing any arguments to the constructor? https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Controller#ATTRIBUTES Lets see what the source tells us `$ perldoc -l Mojolicious ...\site\lib\Mojolicious.pm $ ack "con\S+\bnew" -in ...\site\lib\mojo* ... ...\site\lib\Mojolicious.pm 73: = $self->controller_class->new(app => $self, stash => $stash, t +x => $tx); 531: my $c = $app->build_controller(Mojo::Transaction::HTTP->new); 532: my $c = $app->build_controller(Mojolicious::Controller->new); 560: $app->dispatch(Mojolicious::Controller->new); 569: $app->handler(Mojolicious::Controller->new);` [download] Hmm `$self->controller_class->new(app => $self, stash => $stash, tx => $tx);` Maybe you simply want to subclass SUi::Ext, to make SUi::Ui a subclass of SUi::Ext, as in use Mojo::Base 'SUi::Ext';	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Now back to the question :)

Why are you creating another controller instance inside a controller? Why aren't you passing any arguments to the constructor?

https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Controller#ATTRIBUTES

Lets see what the source tells us

$ perldoc -l Mojolicious
...\site\lib\Mojolicious.pm

$ ack "con\S+\bnew" -in ...\site\lib\mojo*
...
...\site\lib\Mojolicious.pm
73:    = $self->controller_class->new(app => $self, stash => $stash, t
+x => $tx);
531:  my $c = $app->build_controller(Mojo::Transaction::HTTP->new);
532:  my $c = $app->build_controller(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
560:  $app->dispatch(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
569:  $app->handler(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
[download]

Hmm $self->controller_class->new(app => $self, stash => $stash, tx => $tx);

Maybe you simply want to subclass SUi::Ext, to make SUi::Ui a subclass of SUi::Ext, as in use Mojo::Base 'SUi::Ext';
