NAME

Gungho::Component - Component Base Class For Gungho

SYNOPSIS

package MyComponent;
use base qw(Gungho::Component);

# in your conf
---
components:
  - +MyComponent
  - Authentication::Basic

DESCRIPTION

Gungho::Component is yet another way to modify Gungho's behavior. It differs from plugins in that it adds directly to Gungho's internals via subclassing. Plugins are called from various hooks, but components can directly interfere and/or add functionality to Gungho.

To add a new component, just create a Gungho::Component subclass, and add it in your config. Gungho will ensure that it is loaded and setup.

METHODS

inject_base($c)

Inject the component to Gungho. It also sets a flag in the features() hash so that other components in the system can query Gungho if it supprots a certain feature X

feature_name()

Returns the name of the feature that this component provides. By default it's the package name with "Gungho::Component::" stripped out.
