NAME

Bigtop::Docs::FullKeywords - Descriptions of all Bigtop keywords

Intro

This document is generated from Bigtop::Docs::Keywords. It lists each supported keyword available in the Bigtop language, just as tentmaker would, but in POD form. See the beginning of Bigtop::Docs::Syntax for a general description of Bigtop source file structure. See also Bigtop::Docs::TentTut, which -- like this file -- draws from Bigtop::Keywords. You might also find Bigtop::Docs::Cookbook useful.

Categories

Bigtop keywords come in many categories. Each subsection below describes one category. Here is a brief description of where the keywords from each categories appear in the Bigtop source file.

config

These keywords appear in the Bigtop config block that begins each bigtop file.

This is not to be confused with the app level config block which appears inside the app block. There are no defined keywords in the app config blocks, use whatever conf variable names you like there. The same goes for controller level config blocks.

app

These keywords appear at the top level of the app block.

app_literal

Literals are not blocks and do not have statements like blocks. They have this form:

literal type `whatever string you like`;

where literal introduces the literal and type is one of the app_literal keywords listed below. So, for these 'keyword' should really be called 'type.'

controller_literal

Just like app_literals, but appearing inside controller blocks.

table

These keywords appear at the top level of table blocks, which in turn appear at the top level of the app block.

join_table

These keywords appear at the top level of join_table blocks, which appear at top level of the app block.

field

These keywords appear in field blocks, which in turn appear inside table or join_table blocks.

controller

These keywords appear in controller blocks, which are at the top level of the app block.

method

These keywords appear in method blocks, which appear inside controller blocks.

Now that you know where the keywords may appear, here they are. The categories appear in alphabetical order. The keywords themselves are grouped logically (or so it seems to me). The keyword order within the category is shared with tentmaker (though tentmaker excludes keywords which don't apply to the controller or method type).
