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.

4ab87e27 201
fbcc39ad 202=head1 METHODS
203
b5ecfcf0 204=head2 attributes
fbcc39ad 205
4ab87e27 206The sub attributes that are set for this action, like Local, Path, Private
b2ddf6d7 207and so on. This determines how the action is dispatched to.
4ab87e27 208
b5ecfcf0 209=head2 class
b96f127f 210
4d38cb07 211Returns the name of the component where this action is defined.
f9818250 212Derived by calling the L<catalyst_component_name|Catalyst::Component/catalyst_component_name>
fb0c5b21 213method on each component.
4ab87e27 214
b5ecfcf0 215=head2 code
11bd4e3e 216
b2ddf6d7 217Returns a code reference to this action.
4ab87e27 218
b8f669f3 219=head2 dispatch( $c )
4ab87e27 220
18a9655c 221Dispatch this action against a context.
fbcc39ad 222
b8f669f3 223=head2 execute( $controller, $c, @args )
224
225Execute this action's coderef against a given controller with a given
226context and arguments
227
649fd1fa 228=head2 match( $c )
4ab87e27 229
649fd1fa 230Check Args attribute, and makes sure number of args matches the setting.
b2ddf6d7 231Always returns true if Args is omitted.
4082e678 232
760d121e 233=head2 match_captures ($c, $captures)
234
235Can be implemented by action class and action role authors. If the method
236exists, then it will be called with the request context and an array reference
237of the captures for this action.
238
239Returning true from this method causes the chain match to continue, returning
240makes the chain not match (and alternate, less preferred chains will be attempted).
241
242
91955398 243=head2 compare
244
cbe555e8 245Compares 2 actions based on the value of the C<Args> attribute, with no C<Args>
246having the highest precedence.
91955398 247
b5ecfcf0 248=head2 namespace
fbcc39ad 249
4ab87e27 250Returns the private namespace this action lives in.
251
b5ecfcf0 252=head2 reverse
6b239949 253
4ab87e27 254Returns the private path for this action.
255
009b5b23 256=head2 private_path
257
258Returns absolute private path for this action. Unlike C<reverse>, the
259C<private_path> of an action is always suitable for passing to C<forward>.
260
b5ecfcf0 261=head2 name
fbcc39ad 262
18a9655c 263Returns the sub name of this action.
4ab87e27 264
0cff119a 265=head2 number_of_args
266
d4e8996f 267Returns the number of args this action expects. This is 0 if the action doesn't
268take any arguments and undef if it will take any number of arguments.
269
270=head2 normalized_arg_number
271
272For the purposes of comparison we normalize 'number_of_args' so that if it is
273undef we mean ~0 (as many args are we can think of).
0cff119a 274
275=head2 number_of_captures
276
277Returns the number of captures this action expects for L<Chained|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained> actions.
278
3c0da3ec 279=head2 list_extra_info
280
ffca3e96 281A HashRef of key-values that an action can provide to a debugging screen
3c0da3ec 282
342d2169 283=head2 scheme
284
285Any defined scheme for the action
286
