interface ActionInterface in Drupal 8

Provides an interface for an Action plugin.

@todo WARNING: The action API is going to receive some additions before release. The following additions are likely to happen:

• The way configuration is handled and configuration forms are built is likely to change in order for the plugin to be of use for Rules.
• Actions are going to become context-aware in https://www.drupal.org/node/2011038, what will deprecated the 'type' annotation.
• Instead of action implementations saving entities, support for marking required context as to be saved by the execution manager will be added as part of https://www.drupal.org/node/2347017.
• Actions will receive a data processing API that allows for token replacements to happen outside of the action plugin implementations, see https://www.drupal.org/node/2347023.
