CatalystX::Declare::Keyword::Action - Declare Catalyst Actions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use CatalystX::Declare;

    controller MyApp::Web::Controller::Example {

        # chain base action with path part setting of ''
        # body-less actions don't do anything by themselves
        action base as '' under '/';

        # simple end-point action
        action controller_class is final under base {
            $ctx->response->body( 'controller: ' . ref $self );
        }

        # chain part actions can have arguments
        action str (Str $string) under base {

            $ctx->stash(chars => [split //, $string]);
        }

        # and end point actions too, of course
        action uc_chars (Int $count) under str is final {
    
            my $chars = $ctx->stash->{chars};
            ...
        }


        # you can use a shortcut for multiple actions with
        # a common base
        under base {

            # this is an endpoint after base
            action normal is final;

            # the final keyword can be used to be more 
            # visually explicit about end-points
            final action some_action { ... }
        }

        # of course you can also chain to external actions
        final action some_end under '/some/controller/some/action';
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This handler class provides the user with C<action>, C<final> and C<under> 
keywords. There are multiple ways to define actions to allow for greater
freedom of expression. While the parts of the action declaration itself do
not care about their order, their syntax is rather strict.

You can choose to separate syntax elements via C<,> if you think it is more
readable. The action declaration

    action foo is final under base;

is parsed in exactly the same way if you write it as

    action foo, is final, under base;

=head2 Basic Action Declaration

The simplest possible declaration is

    action foo;

This would define a chain-part action chained to nothing with the name C<foo>
and no arguments. Since it isn't followed by a block, the body of the action
will be empty.

You will automatically be provided with two variables: C<$self> is, as you
might expect, your controller instance. C<$ctx> will be the Catalyst context
object. Thus, the following code would stash the value returned by the 
C<get_item> method:

    action foo {
        $ctx->stash(item => $self->get_item);
    }

=head2 Setting a Path Part

As usual with Catalyst actions, the path part (the public name of this part of
the URI, if you're not familiar with the term yet) will default to the name of
the action itself (or more correctly: to whatever Catalyst defaults).

To change that, use the C<as> option:

    under something {
        action base      as '';             # <empty>
        action something as 'foo/bar';      # foo/bar
        action barely    as bareword;       # bareword
    }

=head2 Chaining Actions

Currently, L<CatalystX::Declare> is completely based on the concept of
L<chained actions|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained>. Every action you declare is
chained or private. You can specify the action you want to chain to with the 
C<under> option:

    action foo;                     # chained to nothing
    action foo under '/';           # also chained to /
    action foo under bar;           # chained to the local bar action
    action foo under '/bar/baz';    # chained to baz in /bar

C<under> is also provided as a grouping keyword. Every action inside the block
will be chained to the specified action:

    under base {
        action foo { ... }
        action bar { ... }
    }

You can also use the C<under> keyword for a single action. This is useful if
you want to highlight a single action with a significant diversion from what
is to be expected:

    action base under '/';

    under '/the/sink' is final action foo;

    final action bar under base;

    final action baz under base;

Instead of the C<under> option declaration, you can also use a more english
variant named C<chains to>. While C<under> might be nice and concise, some
people might prefer this if they confuse C<under> with the specification of
a public path part. The argument to C<chains to> is the same as to C<under>:

    action foo chains to bar;
    action foo under bar;

By default all actions are chain-parts, not end-points. If you want an action 
to be picked up as end-point and available via a public path, you have to say
so explicitely by  using the C<is final> option:

    action base under '/';
    action foo under base is final;   # /base/foo

You can also drop the C<is> part of the C<is final> option if you want:

    under base, final action foo { ... }

You can make end-points more visually distinct by using the C<final> keyword
instead of the option:

    action base under '/';
    final action foo under base;      # /base/foo

And of course, the C<final>, C<under> and C<action> keywords can be used in
combination whenever needed:

    action base as '' under '/';

    under base {

        final action list;          # /list

        action load;

        under load {

            final action view;      # /list/load/view
            final action edit;      # /list/load/edit
        }
    }

There is also one shorthand alternative for declaring chain targets. You can
specify an action after a C<E<lt>-> following the action name:

    action base under '/';
    final action foo <- base;       # /base/foo

=head2 Arguments

You can use signatures like you are use to from L<MooseX::Method::Signatures>
to declare action parameters. The number of arguments will be used during 
dispatching. Dispatching by type constraint is planned but not yet implemented.

The signature follows the action name:

    # /foo/*/*/*
    final action foo (Int $year, Int $month, Int $day);

If you are using the shorthand definition, the signature follows the chain 
target:

    # /foo/*
    final action foo <- base ($x) under '/' { ... }

Parameters may be specified on chain-parts and end-points:

    # /base/*/foo/*
    action base (Str $lang) under '/';
    final action page (Int $page_num) under base;

Named parameters will be populated with the values in the query parameters:

    # /view/17/?page=3
    final action view (Int $id, Int :$page = 1) under '/';

Your end-points can also take an unspecified amount of arguments by specifying
an array as a variable:

    # /find/some/deep/path/spec
    final action find (@path) under '/';

=head2 Validation

Currently, when the arguments do not fit the signature because of a L<Moose>
validation error, the response body will be set to C<Bad Request> and the
status to C<400>.

=head2 Actions and Method Modifiers

Method modifiers can not only be applied to methods, but also to actions. There
is no way yet to override the attributes of an already established action via
modifiers. However, you can modify the method underlying the action.

The following code is an example role modifying the consuming controller's
C<base> action:

    use CatalystX::Declare;

    controller_role MyApp::Web::ControllerRole::RichBase {

        before base (Object $ctx) {
            $ctx->stash(something => $ctx->model('Item'));
        }
    }

Note that you have to specify the C<$ctx> argument yourself, since you are 
modifying a method, not an action.

Any controller having a C<base> action (or method, for this purpose), can now
consume the C<RichBase> role declared above:

    use CatalystX::Declare;

    controller MyApp::Web::Controller::Foo
        with   MyApp::Web::Controller::RichBase {

        action base as '' under '/';

        action show, final under base { 
            $ctx->response->body(
                $ctx->stash->{something}->render,
            );
        }
    }

=head1 METHODS

These methods are implementation details. Unless you are extending or 
developing L<CatalystX::Declare>, you should not be concerned with them.

=head2 parse

    Object->parse (Object $ctx, Str :$modifier?, Int :$skipped_declarator = 0)

A hook that will be invoked by L<MooseX::Declare> when this instance is called 
to handle syntax. It will parse the action declaration, prepare attributes and 
add the actions to the controller.
