TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory - Figures out which SourceHandler objects to use for a given Source

CONTENTS #NAME

TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory - Figures out which SourceHandler objects to use for a given Source

#VERSION

Version 3.50

#SYNOPSIS
use TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory;
my $factory = TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory->new({ %config });
my $iterator  = $factory->make_iterator( $filename );
#DESCRIPTION

This is a factory class that takes a TAP::Parser::Source and runs it through all the registered TAP::Parser::SourceHandlers to see which one should handle the source.

If you're a plugin author, you'll be interested in how to "register_handler"s, how "detect_source" works.

#METHODS #Class Methods #new

Creates a new factory class:

my $sf = TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory->new( $config );

$config is optional. If given, sets "config" and calls "load_handlers".

#register_handler

Registers a new TAP::Parser::SourceHandler with this factory.

__PACKAGE__->register_handler( $handler_class );
#handlers

List of handlers that have been registered.

#Instance Methods #config
my $cfg = $sf->config;
$sf->config({ Perl => { %config } });

Chaining getter/setter for the configuration of the available source handlers. This is a hashref keyed on handler class whose values contain config to be passed onto the handlers during detection & creation. Class names may be fully qualified or abbreviated, eg:

# these are equivalent
$sf->config({ 'TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::Perl' => { %config } });
$sf->config({ 'Perl' => { %config } });
#load_handlers
$sf->load_handlers;

Loads the handler classes defined in "config". For example, given a config:

$sf->config({
  MySourceHandler => { some => 'config' },
});

load_handlers will attempt to load the MySourceHandler class by looking in @INC for it in this order:

TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::MySourceHandler
MySourceHandler

croaks on error.

#make_iterator
my $iterator = $src_factory->make_iterator( $source );

Given a TAP::Parser::Source, finds the most suitable TAP::Parser::SourceHandler to use to create a TAP::Parser::Iterator (see "detect_source"). Dies on error.

#detect_source

Given a TAP::Parser::Source, detects what kind of source it is and returns one TAP::Parser::SourceHandler (the most confident one). Dies on error.

The detection algorithm works something like this:

for (@registered_handlers) {
  # ask them how confident they are about handling this source
  $confidence{$handler} = $handler->can_handle( $source )
}
# choose the most confident handler

Ties are handled by choosing the first handler.

#SUBCLASSING

Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.

#Example

If we've done things right, you'll probably want to write a new source, rather than sub-classing this (see TAP::Parser::SourceHandler for that).

But in case you find the need to...

package MyIteratorFactory;

use strict;

use base 'TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory';

# override source detection algorithm
sub detect_source {
  my ($self, $raw_source_ref, $meta) = @_;
  # do detective work, using $meta and whatever else...
}
