Badger::Factory::Class
This module can be used to create subclasses of Badger::Factory.
package My::Widgets;
use Badger::Factory::Class
version => 0.01,
item => 'widget',
path => 'My::Widget Your::Widget',
widgets => {
extra => 'Another::Widget::Module',
super => 'Golly::Gosh',
};
package main; # class method my $widget = My::Widgets->widget( foo => @args ); # object method my $widgets = My::Widgets->new; my $widget = $widgets->widget( foo => @args );
This module is a subclass of Badger::Class specialised for the purpose of creating Badger::Factory subclasses. It is used by the Badger::Codecs module among others.
The following methods are provided in addition to those inherited from the Badger::Class base class.
The singular name of the item that the factory manages. This is used to
set the $ITEM package variable for Badger::Factory to use.
The plural name of the item that the factory manages. This is used to set
the $ITEMS package variable for Badger::Factory to use.
A list of module names that form the search path when loading modules.
This will set the relevant package variable depending on the value of
$ITEMS (or the regular plural form of $ITEM if
$ITEMS is undefined). For example, is $ITEMS is
set to widgets then this method will set
$WIDGETS_PATH.
