NAME

Sub::Contract::Pool - A pool of all subroutine contracts

SYNOPSIS

use Sub::Contract::Pool qw(get_contract_pool);

my $pool = get_contract_pool();

# disable all contracts in package My::Test
foreach my $contract ($pool->find_contracts_matching("My::Test::.*")) {
    $contract->disable;
}

# or simply
$pool->disable_contracts_matching("My::Test::.*");

DESCRIPTION

Every subroutine contract created with Sub::Contract is automatically added to a common pool of contracts.

Contracts are instances of Sub::Contract.

You can query this pool to retrieve contracts based on the qualified name of the contractors (ie package name + subroutine name). You can then modify, recompile, enable and disable contracts that you fetch from the pool, at any time during runtime.

Sub::Contract::Pool uses a singleton pattern, giving you access to the common contract pool.

API

my $pool = get_contract_pool();

Return the contract pool.

$pool->list_all_contracts

Return all contracts registered in the pool.

$pool->has_contract($fully_qualified_name)

Return true if the subroutine identified by $fully_qualified_name has a contract.

$pool->find_contract($fully_qualified_name)

Return the contract of the subroutine identified by $fully_qualified_name or undef if this subroutine does not exist or has no contract. Example:

my $c = get_contract_pool->find_contract("Foo::Bar::yaph") ||
    die "couldn't find contract";
$c->clear_cache;    

$pool->find_contracts_matching($regexp)

Find all the contracts registered in the pool and whose contractor's fully qualified names matches the pattern /^$regexp$/. Example:

foreach my $c (get_contract_pool->find_contract("Foo::Bar::*")) {
    $c->clear_cache;
}

$pool->enable_all_contracts

Enable all the contracts registered in the pool.

$pool->disable_all_contracts

Disable all the contracts registered in the pool.

$pool->enable_contracts_matching($regexp)

Enable all the contracts registered in the pool whose contractor's fully qualified names matches the pattern /^$regexp$/.

$pool->disable_contracts_matching($regexp)

Disable all the contracts registered in the pool whose contractor's fully qualified names matches the pattern /^$regexp$/.
