NAME

Aion::Pleroma - container of aeons

SYNOPSIS

use Aion::Pleroma;

my $pleroma = Aion::Pleroma->new;

$pleroma->get('user') # -> undef
$pleroma->resolve('user') # @-> user is'nt eon!

DESCRIPTION

Implements the dependency container pattern.

An eon is created when requesting from a container via the get or resolve method, or via the eon aspect as a lazy default. Laziness can be canceled via the lazy aspect.

The container can be obtained using Aion->pleroma.

The configuration for creating eons is obtained from the PLEROMA config and the annotation file (created by the Aion::Annotation package). The annotation file can be replaced via the INI config.

CONFIG

Module settings that can be set in .env:

  • AION_PLEROMA_INI – annotation file. Defaults to etc/annotation/eon.ann.

  • AION_PLEROMA_AUTOWARE – load modules automatically, even if they are not specified in the configuration. Default is 1.

EONS FROM CONFIG

You can add the aion.eon key to etc/*.yml with a description of additional eons. This allows you to assemble eons declaratively: specify constructor arguments (named or ordered), call methods after creation, and pass references to other eons via @.

Let us describe the classes of eons.

File lib/Ex/Eon/Astronomer.pm:

package Ex::Eon::Astronomer;
use strict; use warnings;

sub new { my ($class, $name, $telescope) = @_; bless { name => $name, telescope => $telescope, seen => [] }, $class }
sub name      { $_[0]{name} }
sub telescope { $_[0]{telescope} }
sub seen      { $_[0]{seen} }
sub observe   { my ($self, $body) = @_; push @{ $self->{seen} }, $body; $body }

1;

File lib/Ex/Eon/Planet.pm:

package Ex::Eon::Planet;
use common::sense;
use Aion;

has name       => (is => 'ro');
has moons      => (is => 'ro', default => 0);
has discoverer => (is => 'ro');

1;

Now the configuration of the eons. The eon-scientist Ex::Eon::Galileo has arguments specified in order (arguments is an array), after creation the observe method is called with a link to another eon (@Ex::Eon::Saturn). For planets, arguments is a hash, and the discoverer argument refers (@) to the scientist's eon.

File etc/aion/eon.yml:

aion:
  eon:
    Ex::Eon::Galileo:
      class: 'Ex::Eon::Astronomer'
      arguments: [ 'Galileo Galilei', 'refracting telescope' ]
      calls:
        - [observe, '@Ex::Eon::Saturn']
    Ex::Eon::Jupiter:
      class: 'Ex::Eon::Planet'
      arguments:
        name: 'Jupiter'
        moons: 95
        discoverer: '@Ex::Eon::Galileo'
    Ex::Eon::Saturn:
      class: 'Ex::Eon::Planet'
      arguments:
        name: 'Saturn'
        moons: 146

Let's load the configuration from etc/aion/eon.yml, create a container and request eons.

use Aion::Pleroma;
use Aion::Env::Etc ();

my $etc = Aion::Env::Etc::parse('etc/aion/eon.yml');
my $pleroma = Aion::Pleroma->new(pleroma => $etc->{aion}{eon});

my $galileo = $pleroma->resolve('Ex::Eon::Galileo');
$galileo->name  # => Galileo Galilei
$galileo->telescope  # => refracting telescope
ref($galileo->seen->[0])  # => Ex::Eon::Planet
$galileo->seen->[0]->name # => Saturn

my $jupiter = $pleroma->resolve('Ex::Eon::Jupiter');
$jupiter->name    # => Jupiter
$jupiter->moons   # => 95
$jupiter->discoverer->name # => Galileo Galilei
ref($jupiter->discoverer)  # => Ex::Eon::Astronomer

Eon description keys

Each eon in aion.eon is described by a string or hash.

The line specifies the constructor 'class#method' (or just 'class'), the default method is new. This is how the simplest eons are created without arguments.

The hash can contain the keys:

  • class – class (package) of the eon. If not specified and the eon key is similar to the class name (/^[\w:]+$/), the key itself is used.

  • method – method of the constructor class. Defaults to new.

  • arguments – constructor arguments:

  • hash – named arguments (new => %hash);

  • array – ordered arguments (new => @array).

  • calls – list of method calls after eon creation. Each call is a method name (without arguments) or an array [method_name, arguments...].

An argument (or call element) value starting with @ is treated as a reference to another eon: @key is replaced by the child eon from the container.
