Froody::Dispatch - Easily call Froody Methods
use Froody::Dispatch;
my $dispatcher = Froody::Dispatch->new();
my $response = $dispatcher->call( "foo.bar.baz",
fred => "wilma"
);
or, as a client:
$client = Froody::Dispatch->new;
# uses reflection to load methods from the server
$client->add_endpoint( "uri" );
# look mah, no arguments!
$rsp = $invoker->invoke($client, 'service.wibble');
# ok, take some arguments then.
$rsp = $invoker->invoke($client, 'service.devide', divisor => 1, dividend => 2);
# alternatively, args can be passed as a hashref:
$args = { devisor => 1, devidend => 2 };
$rsp = $invoker->invoke($client, 'service.devide', $args);
This class handles dispatching Froody Methods. It's used both from within the servers where you don't want to have to worry about the little details and as a client.
Create a new instance of the dispatcher
Parses a list of files, urls, modules, method filter expressions, and paths.
What you're able to do:
-MModule::Name (or just Module::Name) - request that that module is registered.
-Ipath will inject that path into %INC
filename will extract all module names from within the path
foo.bar.baz will be interpreted as a filter expression.
Returns a hashref of include paths, modules, urls, and filters
Configures the dispatcher. Takes { filters => [], modules => [], urls => [], includes => [] } and ensures that the dispatcher only contains methods that are present in either the modules list or the urls list, and only if those modules match one or more of the filters in the filters list. If the filters list is empty, then all methods will be registered.
Adds an implementation's methods to this dispatcher.
Parses arguments with parse_cli, and then calls config with the arguments. This is intended to be used for parsing command line options, and directly creating configuration details
Returns a dispatch object, and the parsed options.
DEPRECATED: This is harmful -- you end up with random methods in your namespaces
The first time this method is called it creates a default repository by trawling through all loaded modues and checking which are subclasses of Froody::Implementation.
If you're running this in a mod_perl handler you might want to consider calling this method at compile time to preload all the classes.
See config
Calls $method with $invoker. If $invoker or $method are not
instances of Froody::Invoker and Froody::Method respectively then
this method will attempt to discover them in the registered list of endpoints
and the method repository.
Returns a Froody::Response object.
Registers all methods from a remote repository within this one.
TODO: add regex filtering of methods.
Load method and errortype specifications from a named endpoint
Retrieve a method
Causes a dispatch to a froody method to happen. At a minimum you need to pass in a method name:
my $response = Froody::Dispatch->new->dispatch( method => "foo.bar.bob" );
You can also pass in parameters:
my $response = Froody::Dispatch->new->dispatch(
method => "foo.bar.bob",
param => { wibble => "wobble" },
);
Which repository this class uses and how errors are reported depends on the methods defined below.
Call a method (optionally with arguments) and return a Froody::Response::Terse response, as described in Froody::DataFormats. This is a thin wrapper for the ->dispatch() method.
Provides a list of Froody::Method objects. Optionally, the methods are filtered
by a list of filter patterns. If Froody::Method::config was called with
a list of filters, the methods will be pre-filtered by that list. If you wish
to override the configured filters, call this method with undef, or use
the repository methods directly.
Get/set the repository that we're calling methods on. If this is set to undef (as it is by default) then we will use the default repository (see above.)
Get/set chained accessor that sets the style of errors that this should use. By
default this is response, which causes all errors to be converted into valid
responses. The other option is throw which turns all errors into
Froody::Error objects which are then immediatly thrown.
None known.
