#pod =head1 SYNOPSIS
#pod
#pod package MyApp::Controller::Foo;

#pod use Moose;
#pod use namespace::autoclean;
#pod
#pod BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
#pod
#pod sub bar : Local Does('Moo') { ... }

#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod This module allows one to apply L<Moose::Role>s to the C<Catalyst::Action>s for
#pod different controller methods.
#pod
#pod For that a C<Does> attribute is provided. That attribute takes an argument,
#pod that determines the role, which is going to be applied. If that argument is
#pod prefixed with C<+>, it is assumed to be the full name of the role. If it's
#pod prefixed with C<~>, the name of your application followed by
#pod C<::ActionRole::> is prepended. If it isn't prefixed with C<+> or C<~>,
#pod the role name will be searched for in C<@INC> according to the rules for
#pod L<role prefix searching|/ROLE PREFIX SEARCHING>.
#pod
#pod It's possible to apply roles to B<all> actions of a controller without
#pod specifying the C<Does> keyword in every action definition:
#pod
#pod package MyApp::Controller::Bar
#pod
#pod use Moose;
#pod use namespace::autoclean;
#pod
#pod BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
#pod
#pod __PACKAGE__->config(
#pod action_roles => ['Foo', '~Bar'],
#pod );
#pod
#pod # Has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyApp::ActionRole::Bar applied.
#pod #
#pod # If MyApp::ActionRole::Foo exists and is loadable, it will take
#pod # precedence over Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo.
#pod #
#pod # If MyApp::ActionRole::Bar exists and is loadable, it will be loaded,
#pod # but even if it doesn't exist Catalyst::ActionRole::Bar will not be loaded.
#pod sub moo : Local { ... }
#pod
#pod Additionally, roles can be applied to selected actions without specifying
#pod C<Does> using L<Catalyst::Controller/action> and configured with
#pod L<Catalyst::Controller/action_args>:

=head1 NAME
Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole - (DEPRECATED) Apply roles to action instances
=head1 VERSION
version 0.17
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Controller::Foo;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
sub bar : Local Does('Moo') { ... }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows one to apply L<Moose::Role>s to the C<Catalyst::Action>s for
different controller methods.
For that a C<Does> attribute is provided. That attribute takes an argument,
that determines the role, which is going to be applied. If that argument is
prefixed with C<+>, it is assumed to be the full name of the role. If it's
prefixed with C<~>, the name of your application followed by
C<::ActionRole::> is prepended. If it isn't prefixed with C<+> or C<~>,
the role name will be searched for in C<@INC> according to the rules for
L<role prefix searching|/ROLE PREFIX SEARCHING>.
It's possible to apply roles to B<all> actions of a controller without
specifying the C<Does> keyword in every action definition:
package MyApp::Controller::Bar
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
__PACKAGE__->config(
action_roles => ['Foo', '~Bar'],
);
# Has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyApp::ActionRole::Bar applied.
#
# If MyApp::ActionRole::Foo exists and is loadable, it will take
# precedence over Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo.
#
# If MyApp::ActionRole::Bar exists and is loadable, it will be loaded,
# but even if it doesn't exist Catalyst::ActionRole::Bar will not be loaded.
sub moo : Local { ... }
Additionally, roles can be applied to selected actions without specifying
C<Does> using L<Catalyst::Controller/action> and configured with
L<Catalyst::Controller/action_args>:
package MyApp::Controller::Baz;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole' }
__PACKAGE__->config(
action_roles => [qw( Foo )],
action => {
some_action => { Does => [qw( ~Bar )] },
another_action => { Does => [qw( +MyActionRole::Baz )] },
},
action_args => {
another_action => { customarg => 'arg1' },
}
);
# has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyApp::ActionRole::Bar applied
sub some_action : Local { ... }
# has Catalyst::ActionRole::Foo and MyActionRole::Baz applied
# and associated action class would get additional arguments passed
sub another_action : Local { ... }
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
=head2 _action_role_prefix
This class attribute stores an array reference of role prefixes to search for
role names in if they aren't prefixed with C<+> or C<~>. It defaults to
C<[ 'Catalyst::ActionRole::' ]>. See L</role prefix searching>.
=head2 _action_roles
This attribute stores an array reference of role names that will be applied to
every action of this controller. It can be set by passing a C<action_roles>
argument to the constructor. The same expansions as for C<Does> will be
performed.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 gather_action_roles(\%action_args)
Gathers the list of roles to apply to an action with the given C<%action_args>.
=head1 DEPRECATION NOTICE
As of version C<5.90013>, L<Catalyst> has merged this functionality into the
core L<Catalyst::Controller>. You should no longer use it for new development
and we recommend switching to the core controller as soon as practical.
=head1 ROLE PREFIX SEARCHING
Roles specified with no prefix are looked up under a set of role prefixes. The
first prefix is always C<MyApp::ActionRole::> (with C<MyApp> replaced as
appropriate for your application); the following prefixes are taken from the
C<_action_role_prefix> attribute.
