+### Next large steps, planned:
+
+For all components that have been discovered, in whatever way, we create a service:
+ - that's a catalyst component service
+ - which is basically just a constructor injection
+ - except the constructor name is COMPONENT
+ - and we're "implicitly" passing along some constructor args
+ - Lifecycle => Singleton
+
+ - Fix B::B so that Service::WithParametrs' parameters attribute has a builder
+ - Fix ConstructorInjection so that default parameters are supplied (for accept_context_args)
+ - Fix ConstructorInjection's 'suffix' - should be called 'config_key' or something, and
+ should be an attribute on the service (as it never changes), rather than a parameter
+ to the service
+
+ - We make a 'components' sub container in the main container.
+ - This gets the ConstructorInjection COMPONENT services, as model_Foo.
+ - Lifecycle of these services is Singleton
+ - This simplifies the code for MyApp->components, as it need only list one sub-container
+
+ - We create a second service (depending on the first one) for ACCEPT_CONTEXT
+ - This has a custom service which calls ACCEPT_CONTEXT when the instance is fetched
+ - Not Singleton lifecycle
+
+ Note - ACCEPT_CONTEXT can be called on app values - if you have a Model::Foo, with an ACCEPT_CONTEXT
+ and you call MyApp->model('Foo') then ACCEPT_CONTEXT gets invoked with a $c of 'MyApp' (this is not\
+ the normal case, but we need to preserve for compat)
+
+### Next steps - less planned:
+
+ - Creating service()-like sugar for component
- - Moving setup_components etc into the container
+ - Test cases for extending the container in an application.
+ - Using the sugar added in the previous item
+ - Test when Model::Foo depends_on Model::Bar
+
+
+#### Extending my app, notes
+
+Basically try to implement something like this (starting out without the sugar!), and see how it breaks
+and what needs to be done to fix it!
+
+##### Eventual syntax
+
+package MyApp::Container;
+use Catalyst::IOC;
+
+ container $self, as {
+ container model => as {
+ component Foo => (); # As per default!
+ component Bar => (dependencies => ['/model/Foo']); # Magic!
+ component Baz => ( lifecycle => 'InstancePerContext );
+ component Quux => ( lifecycle => 'Singleton' ); # ACCEPT_CONTEXT not called
+ };
+ # Note - implementation of BB may need to be changed to support making sure existing
+ # services actually get overridden. not sure how the default container behaves when doing that
+ # above code would build the constructor injection as it currently does,
+ # defaulting to the class name in the right namespace as declared by the surrounding container
+ # as well as adding using the catalyst-specific service class
+ };
+
+1;
+
+##### To start with
+
+package MyApp::Container;
+use Moose;
+
+extends 'Catalyst::Container;
+
+after BUILD => sub {
+ my $self = shift;
+ my $model_container = $self->get_sub_container('model');
+ my $service = Catalyst::IOC::ConstructorInjection->new(
+ name => 'Baz',
+ class => 'MyApp::Model::Baz',
+ dependencies => [
+ depends_on( '/application_name' ),
+ depends_on( '/config' ),
+ depends_on( '/model/Foo' ),
+ ],
+ lifecycle => 'InstancePerContext',
+ );
+ $model_container->add_service( 'Foo', $service );
+};
+
+### To polish off / t0m review
- - This is so that you can just load the container and get models etc from it,
- without loading Catalyst.
+ - + $class->container->get_sub_container('model')->make_single_default;
+ + $class->container->get_sub_container('view')->make_single_default;
- - Finished documentation for ::IOC parts.
+ get_components_names_types
- - Test cases for extending the container in an application.
+ locate_components
- - Allowing people to change component lifecycles
+ +# FIXME - t0m, how do you feel about this name?
+ +# also, do you think I should draw it here, or just return the data structure?
+ +sub get_components_names_types {
- - This is done by being able to use an alternate Service class..
+ + MyApp->config->{ 'Plugin::ConfigLoader' }->{ substitutions } = {
- I.E. We currently force everything to do Catalyst/IOC/Service/WithAcceptContext.pm, but
- things without an ACCEPT_CONTEXT could just not bother, and it would be nice to have
- one that cached the object in request scope (i.e. Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext)
- etc.
+ +# FIXME - just till I understand how it's supposed to be done
+ +# Made this so that COMPONENT is executed once,
+ +# and ACCEPT_CONTEXT every call.
+ +has instance => (
+ + is => 'rw',
- However we need to work out an interface for people to setup / configure this.
+ # This is ok??
+ +my $applevel_config = TestAppContainer->container->resolve(service => 'config')->{applevel_config};
+ +__PACKAGE__->config(applevel_config => 'foo');
-### To polish off
- - Document current methods
- - + $class->container->get_sub_container('model')->make_single_default;
-+ $class->container->get_sub_container('view')->make_single_default;
+ accept_context_args - where does this come from?
+
+### Known issues
+
+ - Broken $instance->expand_modules() in setup_components and figure
+ out later how to bring it back
+
+ - expand_component_module
+
