Run an action from name stored in DB

[pravnkay]

I have my action classes' names stored in DB with full namespace.
Can I run them using this package?

Example,

<?php

namespace Modules\Auth\Actions\Password;

class ResetPassword

is stored in DB as

Model: ActionStep
Column: StepClass

Modules\Auth\Actions\Password\ResetPassword

in string format and currently I run them using,

app($action_step['step_class'], [
	'payload' => $this->payload
]);

where i receive the $payload in the constructor and process it then. Hope my intention is clear.

Hi @pravnkay .
I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand your question.

[pravnkay]

Ok, let me try to explain more this time.
Lets assume,

1. ActionClass means the class which uses the AsAction trait.

Now, lets take the example from your docs here

I have an ActionClass

namespace App\Authentication\Actions;

use Lorisleiva\Actions\Concerns\AsAction;

class UpdateUserPassword
{
    use AsAction;

    public function handle(User $user, string $newPassword)
    {
        $user->password = Hash::make($newPassword);
        $user->save();
    }
}

Now, I have this above fully name-spaced class name stored in my DB like,

App\Authentication\Actions\UpdateUserPassword

which I retrieve as a string. Lets say I have it stored in variable $className

Now, can I call this ActionClass using the name of the class and also pass parameters.

---

If it is a non ActionClass, the below code works and it calls the __construct method of the class.

app($className, [
    'payload' => $this->payload
]);

If it is an ActionClass like above, its not calling the handle function. I need to create a __construct method and from there I need to call handle method

Is there a way to do maybe like,

$className::run($payload)

Hope I am I clear this time.

Ok, while writing the above reply only I thought of the last line. and I tried it and it works.
So, if the fully name-spaced class-name is in a variable ($className) as a string, you can actually do,

$className::run($payload)

Thanks for being active & responding promptly!

Try to run as job, so you can use dispatch method.
Sorry im not on Pc right now, but you can try to run like this.

dispatch(app($className, [
    'payload' => $this->payload
]));
