Catalyst::Action(3)

NAME
Catalyst::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
