Acc Create Action

Action Generator

Generate ADR-compliant Action classes for HTTP endpoints.

Action Characteristics

• Single Responsibility: One action = one HTTP endpoint
• Input Parsing: Collects and parses request input
• Domain Invocation: Calls UseCase/Handler
• Response Delegation: Passes result to Responder
• No Business Logic: Thin coordination layer
• Invokable: Single __invoke() method

Action Patterns by HTTP Method

GET (Read Single)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Presentation\Api\User\GetById;

use Application\User\UseCase\GetUserById\GetUserByIdQuery;
use Application\User\UseCase\GetUserById\GetUserByIdHandler;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

final readonly class GetUserByIdAction
{
    public function __construct(
        private GetUserByIdHandler $handler,
        private GetUserByIdResponder $responder,
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        $userId = $request->getAttribute('id');

        $query = new GetUserByIdQuery(userId: $userId);
        $result = $this->handler->handle($query);

        return $this->responder->respond($result);
    }
}

GET (List with Pagination)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Presentation\Api\User\ListAll;

use Application\User\UseCase\ListUsers\ListUsersQuery;
use Application\User\UseCase\ListUsers\ListUsersHandler;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

final readonly class ListUsersAction
{
    public function __construct(
        private ListUsersHandler $handler,
        private ListUsersResponder $responder,
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        $queryParams = $request->getQueryParams();

        $query = new ListUsersQuery(
            page: (int) ($queryParams['page'] ?? 1),
            perPage: (int) ($queryParams['per_page'] ?? 20),
            search: $queryParams['search'] ?? null,
        );

        $result = $this->handler->handle($query);

        return $this->responder->respond($result);
    }
}

POST (Create)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Presentation\Api\User\Create;

use Application\User\UseCase\CreateUser\CreateUserCommand;
use Application\User\UseCase\CreateUser\CreateUserHandler;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

final readonly class CreateUserAction
{
    public function __construct(
        private CreateUserHandler $handler,
        private CreateUserResponder $responder,
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        $body = (array) $request->getParsedBody();

        $command = new CreateUserCommand(
            email: $body['email'] ?? '',
            name: $body['name'] ?? '',
        );

        $result = $this->handler->handle($command);

        return $this->responder->respond($result);
    }
}

PUT/PATCH (Update)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Presentation\Api\User\Update;

use Application\User\UseCase\UpdateUser\UpdateUserCommand;
use Application\User\UseCase\UpdateUser\UpdateUserHandler;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

final readonly class UpdateUserAction
{
    public function __construct(
        private UpdateUserHandler $handler,
        private UpdateUserResponder $responder,
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        $userId = $request->getAttribute('id');
        $body = (array) $request->getParsedBody();

        $command = new UpdateUserCommand(
            userId: $userId,
            name: $body['name'] ?? null,
            email: $body['email'] ?? null,
        );

        $result = $this->handler->handle($command);

        return $this->responder->respond($result);
    }
}

DELETE

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Presentation\Api\User\Delete;

use Application\User\UseCase\DeleteUser\DeleteUserCommand;
use Application\User\UseCase\DeleteUser\DeleteUserHandler;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

final readonly class DeleteUserAction
{
    public function __construct(
        private DeleteUserHandler $handler,
        private DeleteUserResponder $responder,
    ) {
    }

    public function __invoke(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
    {
        $userId = $request->getAttribute('id');

        $command = new DeleteUserCommand(userId: $userId);
        $result = $this->handler->handle($command);

        return $this->responder->respond($result);
    }
}

File Placement

Generation Instructions

When asked to create an Action:

1. Identify HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
2. Determine input source (body, query params, route attributes)
3. Identify Command/Query DTO (what to pass to handler)
4. Generate Action class with proper namespace
5. Generate test with mocked dependencies
