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 506
b8f669f3 507=head2 execute( $controller, $c, @args )
508
509Execute this action's coderef against a given controller with a given
510context and arguments
511
649fd1fa 512=head2 match( $c )
4ab87e27 513
649fd1fa 514Check Args attribute, and makes sure number of args matches the setting.
b2ddf6d7 515Always returns true if Args is omitted.
4082e678 516
760d121e 517=head2 match_captures ($c, $captures)
518
519Can be implemented by action class and action role authors. If the method
520exists, then it will be called with the request context and an array reference
521of the captures for this action.
522
523Returning true from this method causes the chain match to continue, returning
524makes the chain not match (and alternate, less preferred chains will be attempted).
525
ec4d7259 526=head2 match_captures_constraints ($c, \@captures);
527
528Does the \@captures given match any constraints (if any constraints exist). Returns
529true if you ask but there are no constraints.
530
c1192f1e 531=head2 match_args($c, $args)
532
75ce30d0 533Does the Args match or not?
c1192f1e 534
6f0b85d2 535=head2 resolve_type_constraint
536
79fb8f95 537Tries to find a type constraint if you have on on a type constrained method.
760d121e 538
91955398 539=head2 compare
540
cbe555e8 541Compares 2 actions based on the value of the C<Args> attribute, with no C<Args>
542having the highest precedence.
91955398 543
763d179f 544=head2 equals
62864794 545
546 if( $action->equal($other_action) ) { ... }
547
548Returns true if the two actions are equal.
549
b5ecfcf0 550=head2 namespace
fbcc39ad 551
4ab87e27 552Returns the private namespace this action lives in.
553
b5ecfcf0 554=head2 reverse
6b239949 555
4ab87e27 556Returns the private path for this action.
557
009b5b23 558=head2 private_path
559
560Returns absolute private path for this action. Unlike C<reverse>, the
561C<private_path> of an action is always suitable for passing to C<forward>.
562
b5ecfcf0 563=head2 name
fbcc39ad 564
18a9655c 565Returns the sub name of this action.
4ab87e27 566
0cff119a 567=head2 number_of_args
568
d4e8996f 569Returns the number of args this action expects. This is 0 if the action doesn't
570take any arguments and undef if it will take any number of arguments.
571
572=head2 normalized_arg_number
573
5dd46e24 574The number of arguments (starting with zero) that the current action defines, or
575undefined if there is not defined number of args (which is later treated as, "
576as many arguments as you like").
577
578=head2 comparable_arg_number
579
d4e8996f 580For the purposes of comparison we normalize 'number_of_args' so that if it is
581undef we mean ~0 (as many args are we can think of).
0cff119a 582
583=head2 number_of_captures
584
585Returns the number of captures this action expects for L<Chained|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained> actions.
586
3c0da3ec 587=head2 list_extra_info
588
ffca3e96 589A HashRef of key-values that an action can provide to a debugging screen
3c0da3ec 590
342d2169 591=head2 scheme
592
593Any defined scheme for the action
