It is a generic port of Ls plugin system. If your component dispatches events to registered POE sessions then POE::Component::Pluggable may be a good fit for you. Basic use would involve subclassing POE::Component::Pluggable, then overriding _pluggable_event() and inserting _pluggable_process() wherever you dispatch events from. Users of your component can then load plugins using the plugin methods provided to handle events generated by the component. You may also use plugin style handlers within your component as _pluggable_process() will attempt to process any events with local method calls first. The return value of these handlers has the same significance as the return value of 'normal' plugin handlers. =head1 PRIVATE METHODS Subclassing POE::Component::Pluggable gives your object the following 'private' methods: =over =item _pluggable_init This should be called on your object after initialisation, but before you want to start processing plugins. It accepts a number of argument/value pairs: 'prefix', the prefix for your events; 'types', an arrayref of the types of event that your poco will support; Notes: 'prefix' should probably end with a '_'. The types specify the prefixes for plugin handlers. You can specify as many different types as you require. =item _pluggable_destroy This should be called from any shutdown handler that your poco has. The method unloads any loaded plugins. =item _pluggable_process This should be called before events are dispatched to interested sessions. This gives pluggable a chance to discard events if requested to by a plugin. The first argument is a type, as specified to _pluggable_init(). sub _dispatch { # stuff return 1 if $self->_pluggable_process( $type, $event, \( @args ) ) == PLUGIN_EAT_ALL; # dispatch event to interested sessions. } This example demonstrates event arguments being passed as scalar refs to the plugin system. This enables plugins to mangle the arguments if necessary. =item _pluggable_event This method should be overridden in your class so that pipeline can dispatch events through your event dispatcher. Pipeline sends a prefixed 'plugin_add' and 'plugin_del' event whenever plugins are added or removed, respectively. sub _pluggable_event { my $self = shift; $poe_kernel->post( $self->{session_id}, '__send_event', @_ ); } There is an example of this in the SYNOPSIS. =back =head1 PUBLIC METHODS Subclassing POE::Component::Pluggable gives your object the following public methods: =over =item pipeline Returns the L object. =item plugin_add Accepts two arguments: The alias for the plugin The actual plugin object The alias is there for the user to refer to it, as it is possible to have multiple plugins of the same kind active in one POE::Component::Pluggable object. This method goes through the pipeline's push() method. This method will call $plugin->plugin_register( $pluggable ) Returns the number of plugins now in the pipeline if plugin was initialized, undef if not. =item plugin_del Accepts one argument: The alias for the plugin or the plugin object itself This method goes through the pipeline's remove() method. This method will call $plugin->plugin_unregister( $irc ) Returns the plugin object if the plugin was removed, undef if not. =item plugin_get Accepts one argument: The alias for the plugin This method goes through the pipeline's get() method. Returns the plugin object if it was found, undef if not. =item plugin_list Has no arguments. Returns a hashref of plugin objects, keyed on alias, or an empty list if there are no plugins loaded. =item plugin_order Has no arguments. Returns an arrayref of plugin objects, in the order which they are encountered in the pipeline. =item plugin_register Accepts the following arguments: The plugin object The type of the hook ( the hook types are specified with _pluggable_init()'s 'types' ) The event name(s) to watch The event names can be as many as possible, or an arrayref. They correspond to the prefixed events and naturally, arbitrary events too. You do not need to supply events with the prefix in front of them, just the names. It is possible to register for all events by specifying 'all' as an event. Returns 1 if everything checked out fine, undef if something's seriously wrong =item plugin_unregister Accepts the following arguments: The plugin object The type of the hook ( the hook types are specified with _pluggable_init()'s 'types' ) The event name(s) to unwatch The event names can be as many as possible, or an arrayref. They correspond to the prefixed events and naturally, arbitrary events too. You do not need to supply events with the prefix in front of them, just the names. It is possible to register for all events by specifying 'all' as an event. Returns 1 if all the event name(s) was unregistered, undef if some was not found. =back =head1 PLUGINS The basic anatomy of a pluggable plugin is: # Import the constants, of course you could provide your own # constants as long as they map correctly. use POE::Component::Pluggable::Constants qw( :ALL ); # Our constructor sub new { ... } # Required entry point for pluggable plugins sub plugin_register { my( $self, $pluggable ) = @_; # Register events we are interested in $pluggable->plugin_register( $self, 'SERVER', qw(something whatever) ); # Return success return 1; } # Required exit point for pluggable sub plugin_unregister { my( $self, $pluggable ) = @_; # Pluggable will automatically unregister events for the plugin # Do some cleanup... # Return success return 1; } sub _default { my( $self, $pluggable, $event ) = splice @_, 0, 3; print "Default called for $event\n"; # Return an exit code return PLUGIN_EAT_NONE; } The constants used can be called anything. You can provide your own even.
