NAME
Footprintless::Resource::Provider - A contract for providing resources to the resource manager
VERSION
version 1.13
DESCRIPTION
The abstract base class for all providers. The class defines the contract that all providers must adhere to. Providers not intended to be used directly. Instead an instance of Footprintless::ResourceManager should be initialized with an ordered list of providers. See Footprintless::ResourceManager for usage.
CONSTRUCTORS
new(@args)
See implementation classes.
METHODS
download($resource, %options)
Downloads $resource and returns the filename it downloaded to. The returned filename may be an object which overrides the "" operator so that when used in string context, you will get the actual filename. All %options are passed through to the implementation. At minimum, all implementations must support these options:
- to
-
The path of a directory or filename to download to.
resource($spec)
Returns an instance of the subclass of Footprintless::Resource provided by this provider, indicated by $spec.
supports($spec)
Returns 1 if this provider supports $spec, 0 otherwise.
