A simple Action class for PHP.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require ninthspace/action
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

An Action class is just a way of encapsulating repeatable or reusable code, which is usually defined or extracted from other classes to improve readability or testability.

To use this package simply extend it:

```
class MyAction extends \Ninthspace\Action
{
}
```

Doing so will give you two additional methods:

- `handle` which is a method you should write to perform the action, and,
- `authorise` which is an optional method you can write that returns if the action is authorised (by the user, for example)

**Note:** You can use `authorize` if you prefer the alternative spelling.

If you create `authorise` and it fails, a `\Ninthspace\Action\Exceptions\AuthorisationException` will be raised.

**Note:** If you want a different authorisation exception to be raised you can override it in your Action, thus:

```
class MyAction extends \Ninthspace\Action
{
    public $authorisationException = \Illuminate\Auth\Access\AuthorizationException::class
}
```

To invoke an action call its `run` method:

```
class MyAction extends \Ninthspace\Action
{
    public function handle()
    {
        return 'done';
    }
}

(new MyAction())->run() // returns "done";
```

You can pass arguments into the `run` method and then update the `handle` function definition accordingly.
