DESCRIPTION

    If you use this Moose::Role with a controller it can be intergrated into the OpusVL::AppKit.

    You can just do: 
        use Moose;
        with 'OpusVL::AppKit::RolesFor::Controller::GUI';

    Give your Controller a name within the GUI:
        __PACKAGE__->config( appkit_name => 'Some Name' );

    To make use of the additional features you will have to use one of the following
    action method attributes:

        NavigationHome
            This tells the GUI this action is the 'Home' action for this controller.

        NavigationName
            Tells the GUI this action is a navigation item and what its name should be.

        PortletName
            Tells the GUI this action is a portlet action, so calling is only garented to fill
            out the 'portlet' stash key.

        AppKitForm
            Behaves like FormConfig option in FormFu Controller, except it loads form from the 
            ShareDir of namespace passed in 'appkit_myclass'
            
        SearchName
            Tells the GUI this action is a search action and what its name should be
