.SH NAME
TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory \- Figures out which SourceHandler objects to use for a given Source
.SH VERSION
.IX Header "VERSION"
Version 3.44
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 3
\&  use TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory;
\&  my $factory = TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory\->new({ %config });
\&  my $iterator  = $factory\->make_iterator( $filename );
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a factory class that takes a TAP::Parser::Source and runs it through all the
registered TAP::Parser::SourceHandlers to see which one should handle the source.
.PP
If you're a plugin author, you'll be interested in how to "register_handler"s,
how "detect_source" works.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "Class Methods"
.IX Subsection "Class Methods"
\fR\f(CI\*(C`new\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "new"
.PP
Creates a new factory class:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $sf = TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory\->new( $config );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW$config\fR is optional.  If given, sets "config" and calls "load_handlers".
.PP
\fR\f(CI\*(C`register_handler\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "register_handler"
.PP
Registers a new TAP::Parser::SourceHandler with this factory.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  _\|_PACKAGE_\|_\->register_handler( $handler_class );
.Ve
.PP
\fR\f(CI\*(C`handlers\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "handlers"
.PP
List of handlers that have been registered.
.SS "Instance Methods"
.IX Subsection "Instance Methods"
\fR\f(CI\*(C`config\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "config"
.PP
.Vb 2
\& my $cfg = $sf\->config;
\& $sf\->config({ Perl => { %config } });
.Ve
.PP
Chaining getter/setter for the configuration of the available source handlers.
This is a hashref keyed on handler class whose values contain config to be passed
onto the handlers during detection & creation.  Class names may be fully qualified
or abbreviated, eg:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  # these are equivalent
\&  $sf\->config({ \*(AqTAP::Parser::SourceHandler::Perl\*(Aq => { %config } });
\&  $sf\->config({ \*(AqPerl\*(Aq => { %config } });
.Ve
.PP
\fR\f(CI\*(C`load_handlers\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "load_handlers"
.PP
.Vb 1
\& $sf\->load_handlers;
.Ve
.PP
Loads the handler classes defined in "config".  For example, given a config:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  $sf\->config({
\&    MySourceHandler => { some => \*(Aqconfig\*(Aq },
\&  });
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`load_handlers\*(C'\fR will attempt to load the \f(CW\*(C`MySourceHandler\*(C'\fR class by looking in
\&\f(CW@INC\fR for it in this order:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::MySourceHandler
\&  MySourceHandler
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`croak\*(C'\fRs on error.
.PP
\fR\f(CI\*(C`make_iterator\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "make_iterator"
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $iterator = $src_factory\->make_iterator( $source );
.Ve
.PP
Given a TAP::Parser::Source, finds the most suitable TAP::Parser::SourceHandler
to use to create a TAP::Parser::Iterator (see "detect_source").  Dies on error.
.PP
\fR\f(CI\*(C`detect_source\*(C'\fR\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "detect_source"
.PP
Given a TAP::Parser::Source, detects what kind of source it is and
returns \fIone\fR TAP::Parser::SourceHandler (the most confident one).  Dies
on error.
.PP
The detection algorithm works something like this:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  for (@registered_handlers) {
\&    # ask them how confident they are about handling this source
\&    $confidence{$handler} = $handler\->can_handle( $source )
\&  }
\&  # choose the most confident handler
.Ve
.PP
Ties are handled by choosing the first handler.
.SH SUBCLASSING
.IX Header "SUBCLASSING"
Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.
.SS Example
.IX Subsection "Example"
If we've done things right, you'll probably want to write a new source,
rather than sub-classing this (see TAP::Parser::SourceHandler for that).
.PP
But in case you find the need to...
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  package MyIteratorFactory;
\&
\&  use strict;
\&
\&  use base \*(AqTAP::Parser::IteratorFactory\*(Aq;
\&
\&  # override source detection algorithm
\&  sub detect_source {
\&    my ($self, $raw_source_ref, $meta) = @_;
\&    # do detective work, using $meta and whatever else...
\&  }
\&
\&  1;
