NAME

Jifty::Action::Record::Execute - Simple abstract based for record actions

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use warnings;

package MyApp::Action::StartEncabulator;
use base qw/ MyApp::Action::ExecuteEncabulator /;

use Jifty::Param::Schema;
use Jifty::Action schema {
    param cardinal_grammeter_mode =>
        type is 'text',
        valid_values are qw/
            magneto-reluctance
            capacitive-duractance
            sinusoidal-depleneration
        /,
        is mandatory,
        ;
}; 

sub take_action {
    my $self = shift;

    my $mode = $self->argument_value('cardinal_grammeter_mode');
    $self->record->start($mode);

    $self->result->success('Deluxe Encabulator has started!');
}

# Later in your templates:
my $encabulator = MyApp::Model::Encabulator->new;
$encabulator->load($id);

my $startup = Jifty->web->new_action( 
    class  => 'StartEncabulator',
    record => $encabulator,
);

Jifty->web->form->start;

Jifty->web->out( $startup->form_field('cardinal_grammeter_mode') );

Jifty->web->form->submit(
    label  => _('Start'),
    submit => $startup,
);

Jifty->web->form->end;

DESCRIPTION

This action class is a good generic basis for creating custom action classes. It expects a record object to be associated and is (in this way) very similar to Jifty::Action::Record::Delete.

You can use Jifty::Param::Schema to add additional form fields to the action and such.

METHODS

arguments

This is customized so that it expects the record argument of all Jifty::Action::Record actions, but also allows for overrides using Jifty::Param::Schema.

take_action

This overrides the definition in Jifty::Action::Record so that it does absolutely nothing rather than complain. You will probably want to implement your own version that actually does something.
