Detailed Description

This class represents a Cutelyst Action.

It encapsulates a Controller method that was defined with C_ATTR macro, it's usually automatically created by Cutelyst::Controller using it's introspections information, this class allows Cutelyst to call a Controller method.

You can access the object for the currently dispatched action via c->action(). See the Cutelyst::Dispatcher for more information on how actions are dispatched.

Member Function Documentation

◆ attribute()

QString Action::attribute ( const QString & name,
const QString & defaultValue = {} ) const

Returns the value attribute by it's name, if not found dafault value is returned.

Attributes can be defined using the C_ATTR macro on Controller's method declaration.

◆ className()

QString Action::className ( ) const

Returns the name of the component where this action is defined

◆ controller()

Controller * Action::controller ( ) const

Returns the controller where this action is defined

◆ dispatch()

bool Cutelyst::Action::dispatch ( Context * c)
inline

Dispatch this action against a context

◆ doExecute()

bool Action::doExecute ( Context * c)
overrideprotectedvirtual

◆ match()

bool Action::match ( int numberOfArgs) const
virtualnoexcept

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

Definition at line 98 of file action.cpp.

References Action(), and numberOfArgs().

◆ matchCaptures()

bool Action::matchCaptures ( int numberOfCaptures) const
virtualnoexcept

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.

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

References Action(), and numberOfCaptures().

◆ modifiers()

Component::Modifiers Action::modifiers ( ) const
overridevirtual

Reimplement to return custom Modifiers, default is None

Reimplemented from Cutelyst::Component.

Definition at line 22 of file action.cpp.

◆ ns()

QString Action::ns ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the private namespace this action lives in.

Definition at line 118 of file action.cpp.

◆ numberOfArgs()

qint8 Action::numberOfArgs ( ) const
virtualnoexcept

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.

◆ numberOfCaptures()

qint8 Action::numberOfCaptures ( ) const
