title: Controllers
|
|
summary: Controllers form the backbone of your SilverStripe application. They handle routing URLs to your templates.
|
|
introduction: In this guide you will learn how to define a Controller class and how they fit into the SilverStripe response and request cycle.
|
|
|
|
The [api:Controller] class handles the responsibility of delivering the correct outgoing [api:SS_HTTPResponse] for a
|
|
given incoming [api:SS_HTTPRequest]. A request is along the lines of a user requesting the homepage and contains
|
|
information like the URL, any parameters and where they've come from. The response on the other hand is the actual
|
|
content of the homepage and the HTTP information we want to give back to the user.
|
|
|
|
Controllers are the main handlers for functionality like interactive forms, rendering the correct templates and
|
|
performing and navigating around the permission checks on the users actions.
