Module Controller API

class ModuleController

The ModuleController class is an abstract controller class. Subclass ModuleController to create a module controller.

ModuleController is intended to have a subset of the functionality of other Splunk controllers. Module controllers have the following limitations:

• Module controller methods do not have access to decorators such as @route.
• By design, module controllers can only handle GET requests, not POST.
• Module controllers cannot return generators.
