# fetch($name, \@args, $context)
#
# General purpose method for requesting instantiation of a plugin
# object. The name of the plugin is passed as the first parameter.
# The internal FACTORY lookup table is consulted to retrieve the
# appropriate factory object or class name. If undefined, the _load()
# method is called to attempt to load the module and return a factory
# class/object which is then cached for subsequent use. A reference
# to the calling context should be passed as the third parameter.
# This is passed to the _load() class method. The new() method is
# then called against the factory class name or prototype object to
# instantiate a new plugin object, passing any arguments specified by
# list reference as the second parameter. e.g. where $factory is the
# class name 'MyClass', the new() method is called as a class method,
# $factory->new(...), equivalent to MyClass->new(...) . Where
# $factory is a prototype object, the new() method is called as an
# object method, $myobject->new(...). This latter approach allows
# plugins to act as Singletons, cache shared data, etc.
#
# Returns a reference to a plugin, (undef, STATUS_DECLINE) to decline
# the request or ($error, STATUS_ERROR) on error.

=head1 NAME
Template::Plugins - Plugin provider module
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Template::Plugins;
$plugin_provider = Template::Plugins->new(\%options);
($plugin, $error) = $plugin_provider->fetch($name, @args);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Template::Plugins> module defines a provider class which can be used
to load and instantiate Template Toolkit plugin modules.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new(\%params)
Constructor method which instantiates and returns a reference to a
C<Template::Plugins> object. A reference to a hash array of configuration
items may be passed as a parameter. These are described below.
Note that the L<Template> front-end module creates a C<Template::Plugins>
provider, passing all configuration items. Thus, the examples shown
below in the form:
$plugprov = Template::Plugins->new({
PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyTemplate::Plugin',
LOAD_PERL => 1,
...
});
can also be used via the L<Template> module as:
$ttengine = Template->new({
PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyTemplate::Plugin',
LOAD_PERL => 1,
...
});
as well as the more explicit form of:
$plugprov = Template::Plugins->new({
PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyTemplate::Plugin',
LOAD_PERL => 1,
...
});
$ttengine = Template->new({
LOAD_PLUGINS => [ $plugprov ],
});
=head2 fetch($name, @args)
Called to request that a plugin of a given name be provided. The relevant
module is first loaded (if necessary) and the
L<load()|Template::Plugin#load()> class method called to return the factory
class name (usually the same package name) or a factory object (a prototype).
The L<new()|Template::Plugin#new()> method is then called as a class or object
method against the factory, passing all remaining parameters.
Returns a reference to a new plugin object or C<($error, STATUS_ERROR)>
on error. May also return C<(undef, STATUS_DECLINED)> to decline to
serve the request. If C<TOLERANT> is set then all errors will be
returned as declines.
=head1 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The following list summarises the configuration options that can be provided
to the C<Template::Plugins> L<new()> constructor. Please consult
L<Template::Manual::Config> for further details and examples of each
configuration option in use.
=head2 PLUGINS
The L<PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGINS> option can be used to provide
a reference to a hash array that maps plugin names to Perl module names.
my $plugins = Template::Plugins->new({
PLUGINS => {
cgi => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin::CGI',
foo => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin::Foo',
bar => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin::Bar',
},
});
=head2 PLUGIN_BASE
If a plugin is not defined in the L<PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGINS>
hash then the L<PLUGIN_BASE|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGIN_BASE> is used to
attempt to construct a correct Perl module name which can be successfully
loaded.
# single value PLUGIN_BASE
my $plugins = Template::Plugins->new({
PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin',
});
# multiple value PLUGIN_BASE
my $plugins = Template::Plugins->new({
PLUGIN_BASE => [ 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin',
'YourOrg::Template::Plugin' ],
});
=head2 LOAD_PERL
The L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PERL> option can be set to allow
you to load regular Perl modules (i.e. those that don't reside in the
C<Template::Plugin> or another user-defined namespace) as plugins.
If a plugin cannot be loaded using the
L<PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGINS> or
L<PLUGIN_BASE|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGIN_BASE> approaches then,
if the L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PERL> is set, the
provider will make a final attempt to load the module without prepending any
prefix to the module path.
Unlike regular plugins, modules loaded using L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PERL>
do not receive a L<Template::Context> reference as the first argument to the
C<new()> constructor method.
=head2 TOLERANT
The L<TOLERANT|Template::Manual::Config#TOLERANT> flag can be set to indicate
that the C<Template::Plugins> module should ignore any errors encountered while
loading a plugin and instead return C<STATUS_DECLINED>.
=head2 DEBUG
The L<DEBUG|Template::Manual::Config#DEBUG> option can be used to enable
debugging messages for the C<Template::Plugins> module by setting it to
include the C<DEBUG_PLUGINS> value.
use Template::Constants qw( :debug );
my $template = Template->new({
DEBUG => DEBUG_FILTERS | DEBUG_PLUGINS,
});
=head1 TEMPLATE TOOLKIT PLUGINS
Please see L<Template::Manual::Plugins> For a complete list of all the plugin
modules distributed with the Template Toolkit.
