    • macros Added onlyFromCollection and exceptFromCollection macros for Arrays (#553)

    • actions Added new Actions API (#549)

      Usage

      Example 1
      // Set new action entries.create
      actions()->set('entries.create', function($id, $data) {
        return entries()->create($id, $data);
      });
      
      // Get action entries.create
      actions()->get('entries.create')('hello-world', []);
      
      Example 2
      // Set new action entries.update
      actions()->set('entries.update', function($id, $data) {
        if (entries()->update($id, $data)) {
          logger()->info("Content {$id} successfully updated");
          cache()->delete($id);
        } else {
          logger()->error("Content {$id} was not updated");
        }
      });
      
      // Get action entries.update
      actions()->get('entries.update')('hello-world', []);
      
      Example 3
      // Set new action entries.create
      actions()->set('entries.create', function($id, $data) {
        if(registry()->get('database') == 'MySQL') {
          // ... create new entry in the MySQL database.
        } else {
          return entries()->create($id, $data);
        }
      });
      
      // Get action entries.create
      actions()->get('entries.create')('blog/post-1', []);
      actions()->get('entries.create')('blog/post-2', []);
      actions()->get('entries.create')('blog/post-3', []);
