Name

Web::Components::Loader - Loads and instantiates MVC components

Synopsis

package Component::Server;

use Plack::Builder;
use Web::Simple;

with 'Web::Components::Loader';

Description

Loads and instantiates MVC components. Searches the namespaces; Controller, Model, and View in the consuming classes library root. Any components found are loaded and instantiated

The component collection references are passed to the component constructors so that a component can discover any dependent components. The collection references are not fully populated when the component is instantiated so attributes that default to component references should be marked as lazy

Configuration and Environment

This role requires config and log methods in the consuming class

Defines the following attributes;

factory_args

A code reference used to instantiate the request factory

controllers

An array reference of controller object reference sorted into moniker order

models

A hash reference of model object references

views

A hash reference of view object references

Subroutines/Methods

dispatch_request

Installs a response filter that processes and renders the responses from the controller methods

Controller responses that do not match the expected signature are allowed to bubble up

The expected controller return value signature is;

[ 'model_moniker/method_name', @web_simple_request_parameters ]

The Web::Simple request parameters are used to instantiate an instance of Web::ComposableRequest::Base

The specified method on the model select by the moniker is called passing the request object in. A hash references, the stash, is the expected response and this is passed along with the request object into the view which renders the response

Array references, a Plack response, are allowed to bubble up and bypass the call to the view

If the stash contains a redirect attribute then a redirect response is generated. Any message intended to be viewed by the user is stored in the session and is retrieved by the next request
