+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 '';
+
+ # 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 = $ctx->stash->{chars};
+ ...
+ }
+
+
+ # you can use a shortcut for multiple actions with
+ # a common base
+ under base {
+
+ # this is an endpoint after base
+ action normal is final;
+
+ # the final keyword can be used to be more
+ # visually explicit about end-points
+ final action some_action { ... }
+ }
+
+ # of course you can also chain to external actions
+ final action some_end under '/some/controller/some/action';
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This handler class provides the user with C<action>, C<final> and C<under>
+keywords. There are multiple ways to define actions to allow for greater
+freedom of expression. While the parts of the action declaration itself do
+not care about their order, their syntax is rather strict.
+
+You can choose to separate syntax elements via C<,> if you think it is more
+readable. The action declaration
+
+ action foo is final under base;
+
+is parsed in exactly the same way if you write it as
+
+ action foo, is final, under base;
+
+=head2 Basic Action Declaration
+
+The simplest possible declaration is
+
+ action foo;
+
+This would define a chain-part action chained to C</> with the name C<foo>
+and no arguments. Since it isn't followed by a block, the body of the action
+will be empty.
+
+You will automatically be provided with two variables: C<$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:
+
+ 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 to something. No base specification means you chain to the root. You
+can specify the action you want to chain to with the C<under> option:
+
+ action foo; # chained to /
+ 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 '/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;
+ 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;
+ 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 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;
+ 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) { ... }
+
+Parameters may be specified on chain-parts and end-points:
+
+ # /base/*/foo/*
+ action base (Str $lang);
+ 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);
+
+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);
+
+=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 '';
+
+ action show, final under base {
+ $ctx->response->body(
+ $ctx->stash->{something}->render,
+ );
+ }
+ }
