- Profit! (Things like changing the complete app config per vhost, i.e.
writing a config loader / app class role which dispatches per vhost to
differently configured apps is piss easy)

+## GSOC
+
+### Next large steps:
+
+ - Moving setup_components etc into the container
+
+ - Move setup_components down into the container (setup_components becomes a one or two line method in Catalyst.pm)
+
+ - refactor / cleanup setup_component
+
+ - Move locate_components
+
+ - Move contents of setup_components
+
+ - Finished documentation for ::IOC parts.
+
+ - Creating service()-like sugar for component
+
+ - 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
+
+ - Allowing people to change component lifecycles
+
+ role Service::WithAcceptContext {}
+ role Service::WithCOMPONENT {}
+ class Service::CatalystComponent extends Service with (WithAcceptContext, WithCOMPONENT) {}
+
+ a) configure additional services in that container
+ - super simple container $default_container => as { more services };
+ class MyApp::Container extends Catalyst::Container {
+ use Bread::Board; # Or our own sugar?
+ method BUILD { container $self => as {
+ service model => ...; # some constructor injection to MyApp::Model or something
+ container Model => as {
+ component Foo => (dependencies => ['/model']); # As per default!
+ component Bar => (dependencies => ['/model/Foo']); # Magic!
+ };
+ # 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
+ } }
+ };
+ b) make component services depend on that, and
+
+
+ c) ask for those
+ services declared in a) outside of a web context
+ simple as well. $customised_container->fetch('service')->get # or whatever the api was

+19:23 < andrewalker> edenc, when explaining to me how it should be, drafted this: https://gist.github.com/1098186
+19:26 < edenc> I like the possibility of being able to provide a backwards-compatible structure which we can muck around with by configuring B::B
+19:26 <@rafl> so, the request context clearly isn't a service
+19:27 <@rafl> but that's ok. there's parametrised services
+19:27 < edenc> yeah, that was a draft
+19:27 <@rafl> the outer Foo service is pretty much what i'd expect Service::WithAcceptContext to do, except with a dependency on a context instead of a service parameter
+19:32 <@rafl> actually having services for the pre-ACCEPT_CONTEXT bits is what i want to think about
+
+### To polish off
+
+ - Document current methods
+ - + $class->container->get_sub_container('model')->make_single_default;
++ $class->container->get_sub_container('view')->make_single_default;
+
+### Known issues
+
+ - Broken $instance->expand_modules() in setup_components and figure
+ out later how to bring it back
+
+ - expand_component_module
