NAME

Sys::Async::Virt::Connection::Factory - Class for instantiation of connection objects

VERSION

v0.1.7

SYNOPSIS

use v5.26;
use Future::AsyncAwait;

use Sys::Async::Virt::Connection::Factory;

my $factory = Sys::Async::Virt::Connection::Factory->new(
   drivers => [
          { transport => '', class => 'Local', host => 0 },
          { transport => 'unix', class => 'Local', host => 0 },
   ]
);
my $conn = $factory->create_connection( 'qemu+unix:///system' );

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a central entrypoint to instantiate connections to LibVirt servers for configured means of transport.

VARIABLES

@default_drivers

push @Sys::Async::Virt::Connection::Factory::default_drivers,
  { transport => 'tls', class => 'TCP' };

List of drivers to be used when no drivers have been provided to the factory's new constructor.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Accepts the following named parameters:

• drivers

  An array mapping URLs to driver classes. Each array entry is a hash with the following keys:

  • transport

    An empty string if no transport is specified; the part after the '+' in the URL protocol (i.e. ssh in qemu+ssh://).

  • host

    A boolean indicating if a host value is allowed (undef), prohibited (0) or required (1).

  • class

    The (shortened) name of the driver class: Values not starting with a +, will have Sys::Async::Virt::Connection:: prepended; those which are starting with a + will have it removed.

    E.g. Local will resolve to Sys::Async::Virt::Connection::Local and +YourPackage::Local resolves to YourPackage::Local.

  The default value maps the following transports: '', unix.

METHODS

create_connection

my $conn = $factory->create_connection( $url );

Instantiates the connection driver configured to service the given $url.
