=head1 NAME

Reaction::UI::Controller::Root - Base component for the Root Controller

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package MyApp::Controller::Root;
  use base 'Reaction::UI::Controller::Root';

  __PACKAGE__->config(
    view_name => 'Site',
    window_title => 'Reaction Test App',
    namespace => ''
  );

  # Create UI elements:
  $c->stash->{focus_stack}->push_viewport('Reaction::UI::ViewPort');

  # Access the window title in a template:
  [% window.title %]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Using this module as a base component for your L<Catalyst> Root
Controller provides automatic creation of a L<Reaction::UI::Window>
object containing an empty L<Reaction::UI::FocusStack> for your UI
elements. The stack is also resolved and rendered for you in the
C<end> action.

At the C<begin> of each request, a L<Reaction::UI::Window> object is
created using the configured L</view_name>, L</content_type> and
L</window_title>. These thus should be directly changed on the stashed
window object at runtime, if needed.
