Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST - A role to apply to Catalyst::Request giving it REST methods and

       See Catalyst::Action::REST for authors.

       This is a Moose::Role applied to Catalyst::Request that adds a few methods to the request object to
       facilitate writing REST-y code.  Currently, these methods are all related to the content types accepted
       by the client and the content type sent in the request.

       You may distribute this code under the same terms as Perl itself.

       data
           If  the  request  went through the Deserializer action, this method will return the deserialized data
           structure.

       accepted_content_types
           Returns an array reference of content types accepted by the client.

           The list of types is created by looking at the following sources:

           •       Content-type header

                   If this exists, this will always be the first type in the list.

           •       content-type parameter

                   If the request is a GET request and there is a "content-type" parameter in the query  string,
                   this will come before any types in the Accept header.

           •       Accept header

                   This will be parsed and the types found will be ordered by the relative quality specified for
                   each type.

           If a type appears in more than one of these places, it is ordered based on where it is first found.

       preferred_content_type
           This returns the first content type found. It is shorthand for:

             $request->accepted_content_types->[0]

       accepts($type)
           Given a content type, this returns true if the type is accepted.

           Note that this does not do any wildcard expansion of types.
