// Controller is the base controller for the high level controllers instances.
//
// This base controller is used as an alternative way of building
// APIs, the controller can register all type of http methods.
//
// Keep note that controllers are bit slow
// because of the reflection use however it's as fast as possible because
// it does preparation before the serve-time handler but still
// remains slower than the low-level handlers
// such as `Handle, Get, Post, Put, Delete, Connect, Head, Trace, Patch`.
//
//
// All fields that are tagged with iris:"persistence"` or binded
// are being persistence and kept the same between the different requests.
//
// An Example Controller can be:
//
// type IndexController struct {
// Controller
// }
//
// func (c *IndexController) Get() {
// c.Tmpl = "index.html"
// c.Data["title"] = "Index page"
// c.Data["message"] = "Hello world!"
// }
//
// Usage: app.Controller("/", new(IndexController))
//
//
// Another example with bind:
//
// type UserController struct {
// mvc.Controller
//
// DB *DB
// CreatedAt time.Time
// }
//
// // Get serves using the User controller when HTTP Method is "GET".
// func (c *UserController) Get() {
// c.Tmpl = "user/index.html"
// c.Data["title"] = "User Page"
// c.Data["username"] = "kataras " + c.Params.Get("userid")
// c.Data["connstring"] = c.DB.Connstring
// c.Data["uptime"] = time.Now().Sub(c.CreatedAt).Seconds()
// }
//
// Usage: app.Controller("/user/{id:int}", new(UserController), db, time.Now())
//
// Look `core/router/APIBuilder#Controller` method too.
