Perl Programmers Reference Guide TAP::Parser::ResultFactory(3) NAME TAP::Parser::ResultFactory - Factory for creating TAP::Parser output objects SYNOPSIS use TAP::Parser::ResultFactory; my $token = {...}; my $factory = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->new; my $result = $factory->make_result( $token ); VERSION Version 3.42 DESCRIPTION This is a simple factory class which returns a TAP::Parser::Result subclass representing the current bit of test data from TAP (usually a single line). It is used primarily by TAP::Parser::Grammar. Unless you're subclassing, you probably won't need to use this module directly. METHODS Class Methods "new" Creates a new factory class. Note: You currently don't need to instantiate a factory in order to use it. "make_result" Returns an instance the appropriate class for the test token passed in. my $result = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->make_result($token); Can also be called as an instance method. "class_for" Takes one argument: $type. Returns the class for this $type, or "croak"s with an error. "register_type" Takes two arguments: $type, $class This lets you override an existing type with your own custom type, or register a completely new type, eg: # create a custom result type: package MyResult; use strict; use base 'TAP::Parser::Result'; # register with the factory: TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( 'my_type' => __PACKAGE__ ); # use it: my $r = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->( { type => 'my_type' } ); Your custom type should then be picked up automatically by the TAP::Parser. SUBCLASSING Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview. There are a few things to bear in mind when creating your own "ResultFactory": 1. The factory itself is never instantiated (this may change in the future). This means that "_initialize" is never called. 2. "TAP::Parser::Result->new" is never called, $tokens are reblessed. This will change in a future version! 3. TAP::Parser::Result subclasses will register themselves with TAP::Parser::ResultFactory directly: package MyFooResult; TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( foo => __PACKAGE__ ); Of course, it's up to you to decide whether or not to ignore them. Example package MyResultFactory; use strict; use MyResult; use base 'TAP::Parser::ResultFactory'; # force all results to be 'MyResult' sub class_for { return 'MyResult'; } 1; ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+-----------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+-----------------------+ |Availability | runtime/perl-532 | +---------------+-----------------------+ |Stability | Pass-through volatile | +---------------+-----------------------+ SEE ALSO TAP::Parser, TAP::Parser::Result, TAP::Parser::Grammar NOTES Source code for open source software components in Oracle Solaris can be found at https://www.oracle.com/downloads/opensource/solaris-source- code-downloads.html.
