Catalyst::Action(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Catalyst::Action(3)NAMECatalyst::Action - Catalyst Action
SYNOPSIS
<form action="[%c.uri_for(c.action)%]">
$c->forward( $action->private_path );
DESCRIPTION
This class represents a Catalyst Action. You can access the object for
the currently dispatched action via $c->action. See the
Catalyst::Dispatcher for more information on how actions are
dispatched. Actions are defined in Catalyst::Controller subclasses.
METHODS
attributes
The sub attributes that are set for this action, like Local, Path,
Private and so on. This determines how the action is dispatched to.
class
Returns the name of the component where this action is defined.
Derived by calling the Catalyst::Component/catalyst_component_name
method on each component.
code
Returns a code reference to this action.
dispatch( $c )
Dispatch this action against a context.
execute( $controller, $c, @args )
Execute this action's coderef against a given controller with a given
context and arguments
match( $c )
Check Args attribute, and makes sure number of args matches the
setting. Always returns true if Args is omitted.
compare
Compares 2 actions based on the value of the "Args" attribute, with no
"Args" having the highest precedence.
namespace
Returns the private namespace this action lives in.
reverse
Returns the private path for this action.
private_path
Returns absolute private path for this action. Unlike "reverse", the
"private_path" of an action is always suitable for passing to
"forward".
name
Returns the sub name of this action.
number_of_args
Returns the number of args this action expects. This is 0 if the action
doesn't take any arguments and undef if it will take any number of
arguments.
number_of_captures
Returns the number of captures this action expects for Chained actions.
meta
Provided by Moose.
OPTIONAL METHODS
match_captures
Can be implemented by action class and action role authors. If the
method exists, then it will be called with the request context and an
array reference of the captures for this action.
Returning true from this method causes the chain match to continue,
returning makes the chain not match (and alternate, less preferred
chains will be attempted).
