466 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
467 | |
468 | This handler class provides the user with C<action>, C<final> and C<under> |
469 | keywords. There are multiple ways to define actions to allow for greater |
470 | freedom of expression. While the parts of the action declaration itself do |
471 | not care about their order, their syntax is rather strict. |
472 | |
473 | You can choose to separate syntax elements via C<,> if you think it is more |
474 | readable. The action declaration |
475 | |
476 | action foo is final under base; |
477 | |
478 | is parsed in exactly the same way if you write it as |
479 | |
480 | action foo, is final, under base; |
481 | |
482 | =head2 Basic Action Declaration |
483 | |
484 | The simplest possible declaration is |
485 | |
486 | action foo; |
487 | |
6e2492a4 |
488 | This would define a chain-part action chained to nothing with the name C<foo> |
856ac9a7 |
489 | and no arguments. Since it isn't followed by a block, the body of the action |
490 | will be empty. |
491 | |
492 | You will automatically be provided with two variables: C<$self> is, as you |
493 | might expect, your controller instance. C<$ctx> will be the Catalyst context |
494 | object. Thus, the following code would stash the value returned by the |
495 | C<get_item> method: |
496 | |
497 | action foo { |
498 | $ctx->stash(item => $self->get_item); |
499 | } |
500 | |

501 | =head2 Why $ctx instead of $c |
502 | |
503 | Some might ask why the context object is called C<$ctx> instead of the usual |
504 | C<$c>. The reason is simple: It's an opinionated best practice, since C<$ctx> |
505 | stands out more. |
506 | |
856ac9a7 |
507 | =head2 Setting a Path Part |
508 | |
509 | As usual with Catalyst actions, the path part (the public name of this part of |
510 | the URI, if you're not familiar with the term yet) will default to the name of |
511 | the action itself (or more correctly: to whatever Catalyst defaults). |
512 | |
513 | To change that, use the C<as> option: |
514 | |
6e2492a4 |
515 | under something { |
516 | action base as ''; # <empty> |
517 | action something as 'foo/bar'; # foo/bar |
518 | action barely as bareword; # bareword |
519 | } |
856ac9a7 |
520 | |
521 | =head2 Chaining Actions |
522 | |
523 | Currently, L<CatalystX::Declare> is completely based on the concept of |
524 | L<chained actions|Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained>. Every action you declare is |
6e2492a4 |
525 | chained or private. You can specify the action you want to chain to with the |
526 | C<under> option: |
856ac9a7 |
527 | |
6e2492a4 |
528 | action foo; # chained to nothing |
856ac9a7 |
529 | action foo under '/'; # also chained to / |
530 | action foo under bar; # chained to the local bar action |
531 | action foo under '/bar/baz'; # chained to baz in /bar |
532 | |
533 | C<under> is also provided as a grouping keyword. Every action inside the block |
534 | will be chained to the specified action: |
535 | |
536 | under base { |
537 | action foo { ... } |
538 | action bar { ... } |
539 | } |
540 | |
541 | You can also use the C<under> keyword for a single action. This is useful if |
542 | you want to highlight a single action with a significant diversion from what |
543 | is to be expected: |
544 | |
6e2492a4 |
545 | action base under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
546 | |
547 | under '/the/sink' is final action foo; |
548 | |
549 | final action bar under base; |
550 | |
551 | final action baz under base; |
552 | |
553 | Instead of the C<under> option declaration, you can also use a more english |
554 | variant named C<chains to>. While C<under> might be nice and concise, some |
555 | people might prefer this if they confuse C<under> with the specification of |
556 | a public path part. The argument to C<chains to> is the same as to C<under>: |
557 | |
558 | action foo chains to bar; |
559 | action foo under bar; |
560 | |
561 | By default all actions are chain-parts, not end-points. If you want an action |
562 | to be picked up as end-point and available via a public path, you have to say |
563 | so explicitely by using the C<is final> option: |
564 | |
6e2492a4 |
565 | action base under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
566 | action foo under base is final; # /base/foo |
567 | |
568 | You can also drop the C<is> part of the C<is final> option if you want: |
569 | |
570 | under base, final action foo { ... } |
571 | |
572 | You can make end-points more visually distinct by using the C<final> keyword |
573 | instead of the option: |
574 | |
6e2492a4 |
575 | action base under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
576 | final action foo under base; # /base/foo |
577 | |
578 | And of course, the C<final>, C<under> and C<action> keywords can be used in |
579 | combination whenever needed: |
580 | |
6e2492a4 |
581 | action base as '' under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
582 | |
583 | under base { |
584 | |
585 | final action list; # /list |
586 | |
587 | action load; |
588 | |
589 | under load { |
590 | |
591 | final action view; # /list/load/view |
592 | final action edit; # /list/load/edit |
593 | } |
594 | } |
595 | |
596 | There is also one shorthand alternative for declaring chain targets. You can |
597 | specify an action after a C<E<lt>-> following the action name: |
598 | |
6e2492a4 |
599 | action base under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
600 | final action foo <- base; # /base/foo |
601 | |
602 | =head2 Arguments |
603 | |
604 | You can use signatures like you are use to from L<MooseX::Method::Signatures> |
ed4a2203 |
605 | to declare action parameters. The number of positinoal arguments will be used |
606 | during dispatching as well as their types. |
856ac9a7 |
607 | |
608 | The signature follows the action name: |
609 | |
610 | # /foo/*/*/* |
611 | final action foo (Int $year, Int $month, Int $day); |
612 | |
613 | If you are using the shorthand definition, the signature follows the chain |
614 | target: |
615 | |
616 | # /foo/* |
6e2492a4 |
617 | final action foo <- base ($x) under '/' { ... } |
856ac9a7 |
618 | |
619 | Parameters may be specified on chain-parts and end-points: |
620 | |
621 | # /base/*/foo/* |
6e2492a4 |
622 | action base (Str $lang) under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
623 | final action page (Int $page_num) under base; |
624 | |
625 | Named parameters will be populated with the values in the query parameters: |
626 | |
627 | # /view/17/?page=3 |
6e2492a4 |
628 | final action view (Int $id, Int :$page = 1) under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
629 | |
630 | Your end-points can also take an unspecified amount of arguments by specifying |
631 | an array as a variable: |
632 | |
633 | # /find/some/deep/path/spec |
6e2492a4 |
634 | final action find (@path) under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
635 | |
5fb5cef1 |
636 | =head2 Validation |
637 | |
ed4a2203 |
638 | The signatures are now validated during dispatching-time, and an action with |
639 | a non-matching signature (number of positional arguments and their types) will |
640 | not be dispatched to. This means that |
641 | |
642 | action base under '/' as ''; |
643 | |
644 | under base { |
645 | |
ed4a2203 |
646 | final as double, action double_integer (Int $x) { |
647 | $ctx->response->body( $x * 2 ); |
648 | } |
aee1c364 |
649 | |
650 | final as double, action double_string (Str $x) { |
651 | $ctx->response->body( $x x 2 ); |
652 | } |
ed4a2203 |
653 | } |
654 | |
655 | will return C<foofoo> when called as C</double/foo> and C<46> when called as |
656 | C</double/23>. |

658 | =head2 Actions and Method Modifiers |
659 | |
660 | Method modifiers can not only be applied to methods, but also to actions. There |
661 | is no way yet to override the attributes of an already established action via |
662 | modifiers. However, you can modify the method underlying the action. |
663 | |
664 | The following code is an example role modifying the consuming controller's |
665 | C<base> action: |
666 | |
667 | use CatalystX::Declare; |
668 | |
205323ac |
669 | controller_role MyApp::Web::ControllerRole::RichBase { |
856ac9a7 |
670 | |
671 | before base (Object $ctx) { |
672 | $ctx->stash(something => $ctx->model('Item')); |
673 | } |
674 | } |
675 | |
676 | Note that you have to specify the C<$ctx> argument yourself, since you are |
677 | modifying a method, not an action. |
678 | |
679 | Any controller having a C<base> action (or method, for this purpose), can now |
680 | consume the C<RichBase> role declared above: |
681 | |
682 | use CatalystX::Declare; |
683 | |
684 | controller MyApp::Web::Controller::Foo |
685 | with MyApp::Web::Controller::RichBase { |
686 | |
6e2492a4 |
687 | action base as '' under '/'; |
856ac9a7 |
688 | |
689 | action show, final under base { |
690 | $ctx->response->body( |
691 | $ctx->stash->{something}->render, |
692 | ); |
693 | } |
694 | } |
695 | |
2bb54af3 |
696 | =head2 Action Classes |
697 | |
698 | B<This option is even more experimental> |
699 | |
700 | You might want to create an action with a different class than the usual |
701 | L<Catalyst::Action>. A usual suspect here is L<Catalyst::Action::RenderView>. |
702 | You can use the C<isa> option (did I mention it's experimental?) to specify |
703 | what class to use: |
704 | |
705 | controller MyApp::Web::Controller::Root { |
706 | |
707 | $CLASS->config(namespace => ''); |
708 | |
709 | action end isa RenderView; |
710 | } |
711 | |
712 | The loaded class will be L<Moose>ified, so we are able to apply essential |
713 | roles. |
