Features
--------

[](#features)

- Include the content of a file (can use dot syntax)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP version >= 7.4.0
- Composer installed

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- [1. Install the package](#1-install-the-package)
- [2. Add the setup code](#2-add-the-setup-code)

### 1. Install the package

[](#1-install-the-package)

In your root folder, run this command:

```
composer require folded/action
```

### 2. Add the setup code

[](#2-add-the-setup-code)

As soon as possible, include this code:

```

setActionFolderPath(__DIR__  . "/actions");
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

- [1. Call an action](#1-call-an-action)
- [2. Call an action by dot syntax](#2-call-an-action-by-dot-syntax)
- [3. Pass parameters to the called action](#3-pass-parameters-to-the-called-action)

### 1. Call an action

[](#1-call-an-action)

In this example, we will "call" (understand, including the content of the file) a file by its path.

```
use function Folded\callAction;

callAction("home/index");
```

Which assumes your "action" file is located at `actions/home/index.php`.

### 2. Call an action by dot syntax

[](#2-call-an-action-by-dot-syntax)

In this example, we will call an action by dot syntax. This is equivalent to swapping `/` for `.`.

```
use function Folded\callAction;

callAction("home.index");
```

Which assumes your "action" file is located at `actions/home/index.php`.

### 3. Pass parameters to the called action

[](#3-pass-parameters-to-the-called-action)

In this example, we will pass parameters to `callAction` to use them in the called action.

```
use function Folded\callAction;

callAction("home.index", [
  "name" => "John",
]);
```

In your view located at `actions/home/index.php` you can use the `$name` parameter:

```
echo "Welcome, $name";
```
