Overview

The Omni Kit Actions Core extension is a framework for creating, registering, and discovering actions.

Actions

Actions are programmable objects that can encapsulate anything which occurs in a fire and forget manner.

• They can be created, registered, discovered, and executed from any extension in C++, Python, or a mix.

• They can be created with associated metadata to aid in their discoverability and/or display in a UI.

• They can be invoked/executed in a single call (although they can accept arbitrary parameters).

• They are not stateful (although their end result may not manifest immediately).

• They do not support undo/redo functionality.

Action Registry

The Action Registry maintains a collection of all registered actions and allows any extension to:

• Register new actions.

• Deregister existing actions.

• Discover registered actions.
