=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # Create a producer using a template in the __DATA__ section.
 package SQL::Translator::Producer::Foo;

 use base qw/SQL::Translator::Producer::TT::Base/;

 # Convert produce call into a method call on our new class
 sub produce { return __PACKAGE__->new( translator => shift )->run; };

 # Configure the Template object.
 sub tt_config { ( INTERPOLATE => 1 ); }

 # Extra vars to add to the template
 sub tt_vars { ( foo => "bar" ); }

 # Put template in DATA section (or use file with ttfile producer arg)
 __DATA__
 Schema

 Database: [% schema.database %]
 Foo: $foo
 ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A base class producer designed to be sub-classed to create new TT based
producers cheaply - by simply giving the template to use and sprinkling in some
extra template variables and config.

You can find an introduction to this module in L<SQL::Translator::Manual>.

The 1st thing the module does is convert the produce sub routine call we get
from SQL::Translator into a method call on an object, which we can then
sub-class. This is done with the following code which needs to appear in B<all>
sub classes.

 # Convert produce call into an object method call
 sub produce { return __PACKAGE__->new( translator => shift )->run; };

See L<PRODUCER OBJECT> below for details.

The upshot of this is we can make new template producers by sub classing this
base class, adding the above snippet and a template.
The module also provides a number of hooks into the templating process,
see L<SUB CLASS HOOKS> for details.

See the L<SYNOPSIS> above for an example of creating a simple producer using
a single template stored in the producers DATA section.

=head1 SUB CLASS HOOKS

Sub-classes can override these methods to control the templating by giving
the template source, adding variables and giving config to the Tempate object.

=head2 tt_config

 sub tt_config { ( INTERPOLATE => 1 ); }

Return hash of Template config to add to that given to the L<Template> C<new>
method.

=head2 tt_schema

 sub tt_schema { "foo.tt"; }
 sub tt_schema { local $/ = undef; \<DATA>; }

The template to use, return a file name or a scalar ref of TT
source, or an L<IO::Handle>. See L<Template> for details, as the return from
this is passed on to it's C<produce> method.

The default implimentation uses the producer arg C<ttfile> as a filename to read
the template from. If the arg isn't there it will look for a C<__DATA__> section
in the class, reading it as template source if found. Returns undef if both
these fail, causing the produce call to fail with a 'no template!' error.

=head2 tt_vars

 sub tt_vars { ( foo => "bar" ); }

Return hash of template vars to use in the template. Nothing added here
by default, but see L<tt_default_vars> for the variables you get for free.

=head2 tt_default_vars

Return a hash-ref of the default vars given to the template.
You wouldn't normally over-ride this, just inherit the default implimentation,
to get the C<translator> & C<schema> variables, then over-ride L<tt_vars> to add
your own.

The current default variables are:

=over 4

=item schema

The schema to template.

=item translator

The L<SQL::Translator> object.

=back

=head2 pre_process_schema

WARNING: This method is Experimental so may change!

Called with the L<SQL::Translator::Schema> object and should return one (it
doesn't have to be the same one) that will become the C<schema> varibale used
in the template.

Gets called from tt_default_vars.

=head1 PRODUCER OBJECT

The rest of the methods in the class set up a sub-classable producer object.
You normally just inherit them.

=head2 new

 my $tt_producer = TT::Base->new( translator => $translator );

Construct a new TT Producer object. Takes a single, named arg of the
L<SQL::Translator> object running the translation. Dies if this is not given.

=head2 translator

Return the L<SQL::Translator> object.

=head2 schema

Return the L<SQL::Translator::Schema> we are translating. This is equivilent
to C<< $tt_producer->translator->schema >>.

=head2 run

Called to actually produce the output, calling the sub class hooks. Returns the
produced text.

=head2 args

Util wrapper method around C<< TT::Base->translator->producer_args >> for
(mostley) readonly access to the producer args. How it works depends on the
number of arguments you give it and the context.

 No args - Return hashref (the actual hash in Translator) or hash of args.
 1 arg   - Return value of the arg with the passed name.
 2+ args - List of names. In list context returns values of the given arg
           names, returns as a hashref in scalar context. Any names given
           that don't exist in the args are returned as undef.

This is still a bit messy but is a handy way to access the producer args when
you use your own to drive the templating.

L<SQL::Translator>,
L<Template>.

=head1 TODO

- Add support for a sqlf template repository, set as an INCLUDE_PATH,
so that sub-classes can easily include file based templates using relative
paths.

- Pass in template vars from the producer args and command line.

- Merge in TT::Table.

- Hooks to pre-process the schema and post-process the output.
