Class::IntrospectionMethods::Catalog - manage catalogs from IntrospectionMethods

SYNOPSIS

Top

 No synopsis. Directly used by Class::IntrospectionMethods

DESCRIPTION

Top

This class handles slot catalogs for Class::IntrospectionMethods.

Exported functions

Top

set_method_info( target_class, method_name, info_ref )

Store construction info for method method_name of class target_class.

set_global_catalog (target_class, ...)

Store catalog informations. The first parameter is the class featuring the methods declared in the global catalog.

Following paramaters is a set of named paramaters (e.g. key => value):

name

Mandatory name for the global catalog

list

array ref containing the list of slot and catalog. E.g.:

 list => [
	   [qw/foo bar baz/] => foo_catalog,
	   [qw/a b z/]       => alpha_catalog,
	   my_object         => my_catalog
	 ],

isa

Optional hash ref declaring a containment for catalog. E.g:

  list => [ 'foo' => 'USER' ,
            'admin' => 'ROOT' ],
  isa  => { USER => 'ROOT' }

Then the 'ROOT' catalog will return 'foo', and the 'USER' catalog will return 'foo' and 'admin'.

help

Optional hash ref (slot_name => help). Store some help information for each slot.

set_global_catalog will construct:

Returns ( slot_name, sub_ref ). The sub_ref is to be installed in the target class.

When called as a class method, the subref will return the ClassCatalog object. When called as a target class method, the subref will return an ObjectCatalog object associated to the ClassCatalog object stored in the closure.

These 2 object have the same API. ObjectCatalog is used to contain catalog changes that may occur at run-time. ClassCatalog informations will not change.

ClassCatalog or ObjectCatalog methods

Top

catalog( slot_name )

Returns the catalogs names containing this slot (does not take into accounts the isa stuff)

Return either an array or an array ref depending on context.

slot ( catalog_name, ... )

Returns the slots contained in the catalogs passed as arguments. (takes into accounts the isa parameter)

all_slot()

Return a list of all slots (respecting the order defined in global_catalog).

all_catalog()

Returns a sorted list of all defined catalogs.

ObjectClass methods

Top

Unknown methods will be forwarded to associated ClassCatalog object.

change( slot_name, catalog_name )

Move the slot into catalog catalog_name.

reset( slot_name )

Put back slot in catalog as defined by global_catalog (and as stored in ClassCatalog).

ClassCatalog methods

Top

help ( slot_name )

Return the help info for slot_name that was given to set_global_catalog. Return an empty string if no help was provided. This help method is just a place holder, no fancy treatment is done.

info ( slot_name )

Returns construction informations of slot_name. This is handy for introspection of actual properties of slot slot_name.

The details are returned in an array that contains:
