NAME

       Catalyst::Action - Catalyst Action

SYNOPSIS

           <form action="[%c.uri_for(c.action)%]">

           $c->forward( $action->private_path );

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a Catalyst Action. You can access the object for the currently dispatched action
       via $c->action. See the Catalyst::Dispatcher for more information on how actions are dispatched. Actions
       are defined in Catalyst::Controller subclasses.

METHODS

   attributes
       The sub attributes that are set for this action, like Local, Path, Private and so on. This determines how
       the action is dispatched to.

   class
       Returns the name of the component where this action is defined.  Derived by calling the
       catalyst_component_name method on each component.

   code
       Returns a code reference to this action.

   dispatch( $c )
       Dispatch this action against a context.

   execute( $controller, $c, @args )
       Execute this action's coderef against a given controller with a given context and arguments

   match( $c )
       Check Args attribute, and makes sure number of args matches the setting.  Always returns true if Args is
       omitted.

   match_captures ($c, $captures)
       Can be implemented by action class and action role authors. If the method exists, then it will be called
       with the request context and an array reference of the captures for this action.

       Returning true from this method causes the chain match to continue, returning makes the chain not match
       (and alternate, less preferred chains will be attempted).

   compare
       Compares 2 actions based on the value of the "Args" attribute, with no "Args" having the highest
       precedence.

   namespace
       Returns the private namespace this action lives in.

   reverse
       Returns the private path for this action.

   private_path
       Returns absolute private path for this action. Unlike "reverse", the "private_path" of an action is
       always suitable for passing to "forward".

   name
       Returns the sub name of this action.

   number_of_args
       Returns the number of args this action expects. This is 0 if the action doesn't take any arguments and
       undef if it will take any number of arguments.

   number_of_captures
       Returns the number of captures this action expects for Chained actions.

   list_extra_info
       A HashRef of key-values that an action can provide to a debugging screen

   meta
       Provided by Moose.
