Action

Before developing any relatively large product using a framework, I would recommend deeply exploring its capabilities.

Today, we’ll talk about actions — but not the ones that are “hardcoded” into our controllers. Instead, we’ll look at actions that can be reused across different controllers by registering them through the controller’s actions() method:

public function actions()
{
	$actions = parent::actions();
	
	$actions['aj-avatar-upload'] = [
		'class' => 'commonactionuserAjaxAvatarUploadAction',
	];
	$actions['aj-avatar-delete'] = [
		'class' => 'commonactionuserAjaxAvatarDeleteAction',
	];
	
	return $actions;
}

You’ll encounter such "actions" early on, when looking at the configuration file where the error action is defined:

'errorHandler' => [
	'errorAction' => 'site/error',
],
