Configuration reference

Publish the configuration if you need to change the defaults:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=exert-config

return [
    'action_key' => 'action',
    'action_source' => 'query',
    'actions_path' => 'Http/Actions',
];

Setting	Default	Purpose
action_key	action	Request key holding the registered action name.
action_source	query	Read selection from query, body, or both.
actions_path	Http/Actions	Action generator directory relative to app/.

Selection settings

The key must start with an ASCII letter or underscore and contain only ASCII letters, numbers, and underscores. Dots and brackets are not supported in the key. Public action names may still contain dots or hyphens.

Invalid key or source configuration throws a LogicException during resolution. See Choosing an action for examples and source precedence.

Generator directory

actions_path is relative to the application's app/ directory:

'actions_path' => 'Domain/Actions',

make:action Orders/CancelOrder would then create app/Domain/Actions/Orders/CancelOrder.php, with namespace App\Domain\Actions\Orders in a standard application.

Use a non-empty relative directory made of valid namespace segments. Each segment must start with an ASCII letter or underscore, followed by ASCII letters, numbers, or underscores. Slash and backslash separators are accepted. Do not include an absolute path or .. segments. Invalid paths throw an InvalidArgumentException when the generator uses them.

The generator respects the application's root namespace. Changing this setting affects future generated files; it does not move existing actions or change controller mappings.

Cached configuration

The provider merges package defaults with your application configuration. After changing a cached configuration, clear or rebuild it as appropriate:

php artisan config:clear

For a deployment that uses cached configuration:

php artisan config:cache
