Question How to poll PlayerInput Component like the "Input Action C# class"?

I want to use the PlayerInput Component to query for input, but I can't figure out how to poll whether a certain action/button is pressed.

I don't want to use event callbacks, because it makes the code unnecessarily complex in my case. I want to continue to use the "Input Action C# class" that the Input System generates for me.

With the "Input Action C# class", I can write code like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. myActions.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>()

I want to do the same when using the PlayerInput Component. My question is, how can I use the "Input Action C# class" in conjunction with the PlayerInput Component?

My current approach looks like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class HeroInput : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [SerializeField] PlayerInput m_PlayerInput;
4.  
5.     InputAction m_Move;
6.     InputAction m_Slide;
7.  
8.     void Awake()
9.     {
10.         m_Move = m_PlayerInput.currentActionMap.FindAction("Move");
11.         m_Slide = m_PlayerInput.currentActionMap.FindAction("Slide");
12.     }
13.    
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.         if (Mathf.Abs(m_Move.ReadValue<Vector2>().x) > 0)
17.             ...
