NAME

MyCPAN::Indexer::Component - base class for MyCPAN components

SYNOPSIS

        package MyCPAN::Indexer::NewComponent;
        
        use base qw(MyCPAN::Indexer::Component);
        

DESCRIPTION

This module implements features common to all MyCPAN::Indexer components. Each component is able to communicate with a coordinator object to find out the results and notes left by other components. Most of that delegation infrastructure is hidden since each component can call methods on its own instances that this module dispatches appropriately.

Methods

new( [COORDINATOR] )

Create a new component object. This is mostly to have a place to store a reference to the coordinator object. See get_coordinator.

get_coordinator

Get the coordinator object. This is the object that coordinates all of the components. Each component communicates with the coordinator and other components can see it.

set_coordinator( $coordinator )

Set the coordinator object. new already does this for you if you pass it a coordinator object. Each component expects the cooridnator object to respond to these methods:

        get_info
        set_info
        get_note
        set_note
        get_config
        set_config
        increment_note
        decrement_note
        push_onto_note
        unshift_onto_note
        get_note_list_element
        set_note_unless_defined
