b2ddf6d7 13=head1 DESCRIPTION
14
43c58153 15This class represents a Catalyst Action. You can access the object for the
b2ddf6d7 16currently dispatched action via $c->action. See the L<Catalyst::Dispatcher>
17for more information on how actions are dispatched. Actions are defined in
18L<Catalyst::Controller> subclasses.

fbcc39ad 207=head1 METHODS
208
b5ecfcf0 209=head2 attributes
fbcc39ad 210
4ab87e27 211The sub attributes that are set for this action, like Local, Path, Private
b2ddf6d7 212and so on. This determines how the action is dispatched to.
4ab87e27 213
b5ecfcf0 214=head2 class
b96f127f 215
4d38cb07 216Returns the name of the component where this action is defined.
f9818250 217Derived by calling the L<catalyst_component_name|Catalyst::Component/catalyst_component_name>
fb0c5b21 218method on each component.
4ab87e27 219
b5ecfcf0 220=head2 code
11bd4e3e 221
b2ddf6d7 222Returns a code reference to this action.
4ab87e27 223
b8f669f3 224=head2 dispatch( $c )
4ab87e27 225
18a9655c 226Dispatch this action against a context.
fbcc39ad 227
b8f669f3 228=head2 execute( $controller, $c, @args )
229
230Execute this action's coderef against a given controller with a given
231context and arguments
232
649fd1fa 233=head2 match( $c )
4ab87e27 234
649fd1fa 235Check Args attribute, and makes sure number of args matches the setting.
b2ddf6d7 236Always returns true if Args is omitted.
4082e678 237
760d121e 238=head2 match_captures ($c, $captures)
239
240Can be implemented by action class and action role authors. If the method
241exists, then it will be called with the request context and an array reference
242of the captures for this action.
243
244Returning true from this method causes the chain match to continue, returning
245makes the chain not match (and alternate, less preferred chains will be attempted).
246
6f0b85d2 247=head2 resolve_type_constraint
248
249Trys to find a type constraint if you have on on a type constrained method.
760d121e 250
91955398 251=head2 compare
252
cbe555e8 253Compares 2 actions based on the value of the C<Args> attribute, with no C<Args>
254having the highest precedence.
91955398 255
b5ecfcf0 256=head2 namespace
fbcc39ad 257
4ab87e27 258Returns the private namespace this action lives in.
259
b5ecfcf0 260=head2 reverse
6b239949 261
4ab87e27 262Returns the private path for this action.
263
009b5b23 264=head2 private_path
265
266Returns absolute private path for this action. Unlike C<reverse>, the
267C<private_path> of an action is always suitable for passing to C<forward>.
268
b5ecfcf0 269=head2 name
fbcc39ad 270
18a9655c 271Returns the sub name of this action.
4ab87e27 272
0cff119a 273=head2 number_of_args
274
d4e8996f 275Returns the number of args this action expects. This is 0 if the action doesn't
276take any arguments and undef if it will take any number of arguments.
277
278=head2 normalized_arg_number
279
280For the purposes of comparison we normalize 'number_of_args' so that if it is
281undef we mean ~0 (as many args are we can think of).
0cff119a 282
283=head2 number_of_captures
284
285Returns the number of captures this action expects for L<Chained|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained> actions.
286
3c0da3ec 287=head2 list_extra_info
288
ffca3e96 289A HashRef of key-values that an action can provide to a debugging screen
3c0da3ec 290
342d2169 291=head2 scheme
292
293Any defined scheme for the action
