could someone please explain me how actions works in silverstripe 4?
I have controller like this:
<?php
use SilverStripe\Control\HTTPRequest;
class ShopHolderPageController extends PageController
{
private static $allowed_actions = [
'add-shop'
];
private static $url_handlers = [
'add-shop' => 'shopForm'
];
protected function init()
{
parent::init();
}
public function shopForm(HTTPRequest $request)
{
return 'test';
}
}
When i launch it in browser i got this:
Debug (line 261 of RequestHandler.php): Testing 'add-shop' with 'add-shop' on ShopHolderPageController
Debug (line 271 of RequestHandler.php): Rule 'add-shop' matched to action 'shopForm' on ShopHolderPageController. Latest request params: array ( )
Debug (line 261 of RequestHandler.php): Testing '$Action//$ID/$OtherID' with '' on SilverStripe\ErrorPage\ErrorPageController
Debug (line 271 of RequestHandler.php): Rule '$Action//$ID/$OtherID' matched to action 'handleAction' on SilverStripe\ErrorPage\ErrorPageController. Latest request params: array ( 'Action' => NULL, 'ID' => NULL, 'OtherID' => NULL, )
Debug (line 185 of RequestHandler.php): Action not set; using default action method name 'index'
Debug (line 234 of Controller.php): Request handler returned HTTPResponse object to ShopHolderPageController controller;returning it without modification.
I don't understand why after RequestHandler matches rule 'add-shop' with action 'shopForm' controller didn't execute 'shopForm' action. Instead of execute found action it called errorPageController...
It looks like:
I thought that it works like: 'alias' for the action should be added to $allowed_actions and then it should be mapped in $url_handlers to action method
But it works like: 'alias' for the action should be mapped in $url_handlers to the action method and then action method should be added to $allowed_actions
so basically for the code:
use SilverStripe\Control\HTTPRequest;
class ShopHolderPageController extends PageController
{
private static $allowed_actions = [
'shopForm'
];
private static $url_handlers = [
'add-shop' => 'shopForm',
'edit-shop/$ID' => 'shopForm'
];
protected function init()
{
parent::init();
}
public function shopForm(HTTPRequest $request)
{
var_dump($request->param('ID'));
return 'test';
}
}
We have: for localhost/shops/add-shop?debug_request=1
Debug (line 261 of RequestHandler.php): Testing 'add-shop' with 'add-shop' on ShopHolderPageController
Debug (line 271 of RequestHandler.php): Rule 'add-shop' matched to action 'shopForm' on ShopHolderPageController. Latest request params: array ( )
NULL test
and for localhost/shops/edit-shop/12?debug_request=1
Debug (line 261 of RequestHandler.php): Testing 'add-shop' with 'edit-shop/12' on ShopHolderPageController
Debug (line 261 of RequestHandler.php): Testing 'edit-shop/$ID' with 'edit-shop/12' on ShopHolderPageController
Debug (line 271 of RequestHandler.php): Rule 'edit-shop/$ID' matched to action 'shopForm' on ShopHolderPageController. Latest request params: array ( 'ID' => '12', )
string(2) "12" test
