NOTE - these are notes that t0m thought up after doing back compat for
catalyst_component_class, may be inaccurate, wrong or missing things
- expand_component_module
- - loading two containers simultaneously
-
- - sugar is still not completely implemented
-
- Some back compat
- - wrappers around setup_component, setup_components, locate_components in Catalyst.pm

-##### Need planning, have questions:
+##### Items for discussion and planning
+# (in no particular order, just numbered to be more easily refered to)
+
+ 1) per request life cycle
+
+ 2) sugar syntax
- - per request life cycle
+ 3) when / when not COMPONENT should be called
- - sugar - we should discuss the syntax with rafl and edenc
+ 4) problems when get_all_components() is called when there is no 'context' yet
- - when / when not COMPONENT should be called
+ 5) Back compat problems:
+ - expand_component_module
+ - $instance->expand_modules
+ - search_extra
+ - what to do when a user overrides the locate_components method?
- - locate_components service vs setup_components method
- - can we be more lazy?
- - should setup_components be a service that things like the ->component lookup
- can depend on?
+ 6) locate_components service vs setup_components method
+ - can we be more lazy?
+ - should setup_components be a service that things like the ->component lookup
+ can depend on?
- - There are a few more FIXMEs, idk if any relevant here
+ 7) $class->log->warn is being used to give warnings, but maybe there is a
+ better way to do it
-### Next steps - planned:
+ 8) the ConstructorInjection depends on the application_name, which probably
+ makes app/ctx split harder. We need a way to get the application instance
+ passed properly.
- - some imports need to get the importing package in Catalyst::IOC
+ 9) there is a call in Catalyst::Controller to catalyst_component_name class
+ accessor (which doesn't exist anymore).
- - test values directly instead of serializing them over http in t/lib/TestCustomContainer.pm
+ 10) make ACCEPT_CONTEXT and COMPONENT optional in Catalyst::IOC::BlockInjection and Catalyst::IOC::ConstructorInjection
+ - Create COMPONENTSingleton life cycle
- - 16:01 < shadowpaste> "t0m" at 217.168.150.38 pasted "more explicit? thoughts?" (13 lines) at http://paste.scsys.co.uk/131520
+ 11) we build the service too early, causing the COMPONENT method to be
+ called early, breaking components which build other components (e.g.
+ Model::DBIC::Schema).
- - make ACCEPT_CONTEXT and COMPONENT optional in Catalyst::IOC::BlockInjection and Catalyst::IOC::ConstructorInjection
- - Create COMPONENTSingleton life cycle
+ 12) root service has a very ambiguous name - maybe root_dir?
- - Back compat for Catalyst.pm moved methods (locate_components)
+ 13) should _get_component_type_name (in Catalyst::IOC::Container) exist?
- - Test custom container
- - writing some tests which verify that the models you think should be
- there are there, and that they received their dependencies as arguments
- - i.e. Model::Bar should get params { foo => $model_foo } when being
- constructed, etc
- - Need to test that if you have a standard component Frotz
- and a customized component Fnar, and Fnar depends on Frotz
- - And yeah, some tests that the customised components actually work via
- $c->model('Foo'), and that COMPONENT is called (or not called)
- as appropiate and that ACCEPT_CONTEXT is called (or not) as appropriate
+ 14) 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
+ - Test for component Foo => ( lifecycle => 'Singleton', class => 'My::External::Class', dependencies => { config => depends_on("config") } )
+ - Fix ^^ so that you can get your component's namespaced config nicely.
-### Next steps - less planned:
+ 15) Tests for using the container outside of Catalyst
+ - Custom container which adds some (very simple) services which are initialized from
+ the application config file (note plain services, not components)
+ - Depend on (and test) these inside Catalyst
+ - Test loading container outside Catalyst, and these services working
+ - Test Catalyst / MyApp is not loaded
- - Creating service()-like sugar for component

+ - Push the config built in the container back up onto the app
+
+ - Find a better way to make path_to work. Current fix is in
+ Catalyst::IOC::Container, subs build_home_service, build_root_service.
+
+ - Improve validation on the 'component' methods in Catalyst::IOC
+ (check the type of the component, etc)
