# Jifty::Action::Record::Create(3pm)

Automagic creation action

## NAME

Jifty::Action::Record::Create - Automagic creation action

## DESCRIPTION

This class is used as the base class for Jifty::Actions that are merely creating Jifty::Record objects.  To use it, subclass it and override the `"record_class"` method to return the name of the Jifty::Record subclass that this action creates.

## METHODS

### arguments

Set the default value in each of the fields to whatever the default of the column is in the model

### take\_action

Overrides the virtual `"take_action"` method on Jifty::Action to call the appropriate `"Jifty::Record"`'s `"create"` method when the action is run, thus creating a new object in the database.

The `"id"` of the new row is returned in the `"id"` content of the Jifty::Result for the action.  You can use this in conjunction with request mapping in order to give later parts of the request access to the `"id"`.

### create\_record

This method actually performs the call to `"record->create"`. It receives as arguments the parameter hash and should return the message for the user, indicating success or failure.

### report\_success

Sets the "message" in Jifty::Result to default success message, "Created". Override this if you want to report some other more user-friendly result.

### possible\_columns

Create actions do not provide fields for columns marked as `"private"` or `"protected"`.

### \_extra\_validator\_args

Passes `"for => 'create'"` to validators.

### \_extra\_canonicalizer\_args

Passes `"for => 'create'"` to canonicalizers.

### \_extra\_autocompleter\_args

Passes `"for => 'create'"` to autocompleters.
