NAME
Bread::Board::Container - A container for services and other containers
VERSION
version 0.37
SYNOPSIS
use Bread::Board;
my $c = container MCP => as {
container Users => as {
service flynn => ...;
service bradley => ...;
service dillinger => ...;
};
container Programs => as {
container Rebels => as {
service tron => ...;
service yori => ...;
alias flynn => '/Users/flynn';
};
# nested container
container Slaves => as {
service sark => ...;
service crom => ...;
};
};
};
# OR directly...
my $guardians => Bread::Board::Container->new( name => 'Guardians' );
$guardians->add_service(
Bread::Board::ConstructorInjection->new(
name => 'dumont',
...,
)
);
$c->get_sub_container('Programs')->add_sub_container($guardians);
DESCRIPTION
This class implements the container for Bread::Board: a container is a thing that contains services and
other containers. Each container and service has a name, so you end up with a tree of named nodes, just
like files and directories in a filesystem: each item can be referenced using a path (see
Bread::Board::Traversable for the details).
ATTRIBUTES
"name"
Read/write string, required. Every container needs a name, by which it can be referenced when fetching
it.
"services"
Hashref, constrained by "Bread::Board::Container::ServiceList", mapping names to services directly
contained in this container. Every service added here will have its "parent" set to this container.
You can pass an arrayref of services instead of a hashref, the keys will be the names of the services.
You should probably use "add_service" and "get_service" to manipulate this attribute, instead of
modifying it directly.
"sub_containers"
Hashref, constrained by "Bread::Board::Container::SubContainerList", mapping names to containers directly
contained in this container. Every container added here will have its "parent" set to this container.
You can pass an arrayref of containers instead of a hashref, the keys will be the names of the
containers.
You should probably use "add_sub_container" and "get_sub_container" to manipulate this attribute, instead
of modifying it directly.
Containers added here can either be normal Bread::Board::Container or
Bread::Board::Container::Parameterized.
METHODS
"add_service"
$container->add_service($service);
Adds a service into the "services" map, using its name as the key.
"get_service"
my $service = $container->get_service($name);
Returns a service by name, or "undef" if there's no such service in the "services" map.
"has_service"
if ($container->has_service($name)) { ... }
Returns true if a service with the given name name exists in the "services" map, false otherwise.
"has_services"
if ($container->has_services) { ... }
Returns true if the "services" map contains any services, false if it's empty.
"get_service_list"
my @service_names = $container->get_service_list();
Returns the names off all services present in the "services" map.
"add_sub_container"
$container->add_sub_container($container);
Adds a container into the "sub_containers" map, using its name as the key.
"get_sub_container"
my $container = $container->get_sub_container($name);
Returns a container by name, or "undef" if there's no such container in the "sub_containers" map.
"has_sub_container"
if ($container->has_sub_container($name)) { ... }
Returns true if a container with the given name name exists in the "sub_containers" map, false otherwise.
"has_sub_containers"
if ($container->has_sub_containers) { ... }
Returns true if the "sub_containers" map contains any contains, false if it's empty.
"get_sub_container_list"
my @container_names = $container->get_sub_container_list();
Returns the names off all containers present in the "sub_containers" map.
"add_type_mapping_for"
$containers->add_type_mapping_for( $type_name, $service );
Adds a mapping from a Moose type to a service: whenever we try to "resolve" that type, we'll use that
service to instantiate it.
"get_type_mapping_for"
my $service = $container->get_type_mapping_for( $type_name );
Returns the service to use to instantiate the given type name.
Important: if a mapping for the exact type can't be found, but a mapping for a subtype of it can, you'll
get the latter instead:
package Superclass { use Moose };
package Subclass { use Moose; exends 'Superclass' };
$c->add_type_mapping_for(
'Subclass',
Bread::Board::ConstructorInjection->new(name=>'sc',class=>'Subclass'),
);
my $o = $c->get_type_mapping_for('Superclass')->get;
$o is an instance of "Subclass". If there are more than one sub-type mapped, you get a random one. This
is probably a bad idea.
"has_type_mapping_for"
if ($container->has_type_mapping_for( $type_name )) { ... }
Returns true if we have a service defined to instantiate the given type name, but see the note on
"get_type_mapping_for" about subtype mapping.
"resolve"
my $object = $container->resolve(service=>$service_name);
my $object = $container->resolve(service=>$service_name,parameters=>\%p);
When given a service name, this method will fetch the service, then call "get" on it, optionally passing
the given parameters.
my $object = $container->resolve(type=>$type);
my $object = $container->resolve(type=>$type,parameters=>\%p);
When given a type name, this method will use "get_type_mapping_for" to get the service, then call "get"
on it, optionally passing the given parameters. If the instance is not of the expected type, the method
will die.
