DESCRIPTION

DTA::CAB::Format::Registry provides an object-oriented API for maintainence and easy access to a set of DTA::CAB::Format subclasses.

Constructors etc.

new
 $reg = DTA::CAB::Format::Registry->new(%args);

%$obj, %args:

  reg => [\%classReg, ...],               ##-- registered classes
  short2reg => {$short=>\%classReg, ...}, ##-- short names to registry entries
  base2reg  => {$base =>\%classReg, ...}, ##-- base names to registry entries

each \%classReg is a HASH-ref of the form:

  name          => $basename,      ##-- basename for the class (package name)
  short         => $shortname,     ##-- short name for the class (default = package name suffix, lower-cased)
  readerClass   => $readerClass,   ##-- default: $base   ##-- NYI
  writerClass   => $writerClass,   ##-- default: $base   ##-- NYI
  filenameRegex => $regex,         ##-- filename regex for guessFilename()

See also "register".

refresh
 $reg = $reg->clear();

Clears the registry.

refresh
 $reg = $reg->refresh();

Re-registers all formats in $reg->{reg}.

compile
 $reg = $reg->compile(%opts);

Adds the following keys to each registry item \%classReg:

 reader => $readerObj,  ##-- = $classReg{readerClass}->new(%opts)
 writer => $writerObj,  ##-- = $classReg{writerClass}->new(%opts)
register
 \%classReg = $reg->register(%classReg);

%classReg:

 name          => $basename,      ##-- basename for the class (package name): REQUIRED
 short         => $shortname,     ##-- short name for the class (default = package name suffix, lower-cased)
 readerClass   => $readerClass,   ##-- default: $base   ##-- NYI
 writerClass   => $writerClass,   ##-- default: $base   ##-- NYI
 filenameRegex => $regex,         ##-- filename regex for guessFilenameFormat()

Methods: Access

lookup
 \%classReg_or_undef = $reg->lookup(%opts);

Get the most recently registered entry for %opts, which may contain (in order of decreasing priority):

 class => $class,      ##-- short name, basename, or "DTA::CAB::Format::" suffix
 file  => $filename,   ##-- attempt to guess format from $filename
newFormat
 $fmt = $reg->newFormat($class_or_short_or_suffix, %opts);

Creates a new format of the registered base class matching $class_or_short_or_suffix; backwards-compatible.

readerClass
 $class_or_undef = $reg->readerClass($class_or_short_or_suffix);

Get registered reader class for $class_or_short_or_suffix

writerClass
 $class_or_undef = $reg->writerClass($class_or_short_or_suffix);

Get registered writer class for $class_or_short_or_suffix

newReader
 $fmt = $reg->newReader(%opts);

Create and return a new reader object. %opts may contain any %lookup options (class,file), and are otherwise passed to READERCLASS->new()

newWriter
 $fmt = $reg->newWriter(%opts);

Create and return a new writer object. %opts may contain any %lookup options (class,file), and are otherwise passed to WRITERCLASS->new().

fileReaderClass
 $readerClass_or_undef = $CLASS_OR_OBJ->fileReaderClass($filename);

Backkwards-compatible wrapper for lookup(); attempts to guess reader class name from $filename.

fileWriterClass
 $readerClass_or_undef = $CLASS_OR_OBJ->fileWriterClass($filename);

Backwards-compatible wrapper for lookup(); attempts to guess writer class name from $filename.

guessFilenameFormat
 \%classReg_or_undef = $reg->guessFilenameFormat($filename);

Backwards-compatible wrapper for $reg->lookup(file=>$filename).

short2reg
 \%classReg_or_undef = $reg->short2reg($shortname);

Gets registry entry for short name $shortname.

base2reg
 \%classReg_or_undef = $reg->base2reg($basename);

Gets registry entry for class basename $basename.
