NAME

Handel::ConfigReader - Read in Handel configuration settings from ENV/ModPerl

SYNOPSIS

    use Handel::ConfigReader;
    
    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->instance();
    my $setting = $cfg->get('HandelMaxQuantity');
    my $other = $cfg->{'OtherSetting'};

DESCRIPTION

Handel::ConfigReader is a generic wrapper to get various configuration values. As some point this will probably get worked into XS/custom httpd.conf directives.

Each configuration object is also a tied hash. The two usages are the same:

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->instance();
    
    my $setting = $cfg->get('Setting');
    my $setting = $cfg->{'Setting'};

The latter is the preferred usage in anticipation of also integrating Apache::ModuleConfig and custom directives which use the same hash syntax.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Returns a new Handel::ConfigReader instance.

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->new();

instance

Returns the same Handel::ConfigReader instance for each call.

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->instance();

METHODS

get

Arguments: $key [, $default]

Returns the configured value for the key specified. You can use this as an instance method or as a simpleton:

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->instance();
    my $setting = $cfg->get('HandelMaxQuantity');
    
    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->instance();
    my $setting = $cfg->get('HandelMaxQuantity');

You can also pass a default value as the second parameter. If no value is loaded for the key specified, the default value will be returned instead.

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->instance();
    my $setting = $cfg->get('DoesNotExist', 'foo');
    print $setting; # foo

FETCH

Arguments: $key

Returns an item form the configuration via tied hash.

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->new;
    my $setting = $cfg->{'MySetting'};

EXISTS

Arguments: $key

Returns true if the specified setting returns a defined value.

    my $cfg = Handel::ConfigReader->new;
    if (exists $cfg->{'MySetting'}) {
        ...
    };

CLEAR

Does nothing.

DELETE

Does nothing.

STORE

Does nothing.

CONFIGURATION

Various Handel runtime options can be set via %ENV variables, or using PerlSetVar when running under mod_perl.

HandelMaxQuantity

    PerlSetVar  HandelMaxQuantity   32
    ...
    $ENV{HandelMaxQuantity} = 32;

If defined, this sets the maximum quantity allowed for each Handel::Cart::Item in the shopping cart. By default, when the user request more than HandelMaxQuantity, quantity is reset to HandelMaxQuantity. If you would rather raise an Handel::Exception::Constraint instead, see HandelMaxQuantityAction below.

HandelMaxQuantityAction (Adjust|Exception)

This option defines what action should be taken when a cart items quantity is being set to something above HandelMaxQuantity. When set to Adjust the quantity will simply be reset to HandelMaxQuantity and no exception will be raised. This is the default action.

When set to <Exception> and the quantity requested is greater than HandelMaxQuantity, a Handel::Exception::Constraint exception is thrown.

HandelCurrencyCode

This sets the default currency code used when no code is passed into format. See Locale::Currency::Format for all available currency codes. The default code is USD.

HandelCurrencyFormat

This sets the default options used to format the price. See Locale::Currency::Format for all available currency codes. The default format used is FMT_STANDARD. Just like in Locale::Currency::Format, you can combine options using |.

HandelDBIDriver

The name of the DBD driver. Defaults to mysql.

HandelDBIHost

The name of the database server. Defaults to localhost.

HandelDBIPort

The port of the database server. Defaults to 3306.

HandelDBIName

The name of the database. Defaults to commerce.

HandelDBIUser

The user name used to connect to the server. Defaults to commerce.

HandelDBIPassword

The password used to connect to the server. Defaults to commerce.

HandelDBIDSN

The full data source to the connect to the database. If a dsn is supplied the driver/host/port and name are ignored. IF no dsn is supplied, one will will be constructed from driver/host/port and name.

HandelPluginPaths

This resets the checkout plugin search path to a namespace of your choosing, The default plugin search path is Handel::Checkout::Plugin::*

    PerlSetVar HandelPluginPaths MyApp::Plugins

In the example above, the checkout plugin search path will load all plugins in the MyApp::Plugins::* namespace (but not MyApp::Plugin itself). Any plugins in Handel::Checkout::Plugin::* will be ignored.

You can also pass a comma or space separate list of namespaces.

    PerlSetVar HandelPluginPaths 'MyApp::Plugins, OtherApp::Plugins'

Any plugin found in the search path that isn't a subclass of Handel::Checkout::Plugin will be ignored.

HandelAddPluginPaths

This adds an additional plugin search paths. This can be a comma or space separated list of namespaces.

    PerlSetVar HandelAddPluginPaths  'MyApp::Plugins, OtherApp::Plugins'

In the example above, when a checkout process is loaded, it will load all plugins in the Handel::Checkout::Plugin::*, MyApp::Plugins::*, and OtherApp::Plugins namespaces.

Any plugin found in the search path that isn't a subclass of Handel::Checkout::Plugin will be ignored.

HandelIgnorePlugins

This is a comma/space separated list [or an anonymous array, or a regex outside of httpd.conf] of plugins to ignore when loading all available plugins in the given namespaces.

    PerlSetVar HandelIgnorePlugins 'Handel::Checkout::Plugin::Initialize'

    $ENV{'HandelIgnorePlugins'} = 'Handel::Checkout::Plugin::Initialize';
    $ENV{'HandelIgnorePlugins'} = ['Handel::Checkout::Plugin::Initialize'];
    $ENV{'HandelIgnorePlugins'} = qr/^Handel::Checkout::Plugin::(Initialize|Validate)$/;

If the Handel::Checkout::Plugin namespace has the following modules:

    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::Initialize
    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::ValidateAddress
    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::FaxDelivery
    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::EmailDelivery

all of the modules above will be loaded <b>except</b> Handel::Checkout::Plugin::Initialize. All plugins in any other configured namespaces will be loaded.

If both HandelLoadPlugins and HandelIgnorePlugins are specified, only the plugins in HandelLoadPlugins will be loaded, unless they are also in HandelIgnorePlugins in which case they will be ignored.

HandelLoadPlugins

This is a comma or space separated list [or an anonymous array, or a regex outside of httpd.conf] of plugins to be loaded from the available namespaces.

    PerlSetVar HandelLoadPlugins 'Handel::Checkout::Plugin::ValidateAddress'

    $ENV{'HandelLoadPlugins'} = 'Handel::Checkout::Plugin::ValidateAddress';
    $ENV{'HandelLoadPlugins'} = ['Handel::Checkout::Plugin::ValidateAddress'];
    $ENV{'HandelLoadPlugins'} = qr/^Handel::Checkout::Plugin::(ValidateAddress|Authorize)$/;

If the following plugins are available in all configured namespaces:

    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::Initialize
    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::ValidateAddress
    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::FaxDelivery
    Handel::Checkout::Plugin::EmailDelivery
    MyApp::Plugin::VerifiedByVisa
    MyApp::Plugin::WarehouseUpdate

only Handel::Checkout::Plugin::ValidateAddress will be loaded. All other plugins in all configured namespaces will be ignored.

If both HandelLoadPlugins and HandelIgnorePlugins are specified, only the plugins in HandelLoadPlugins will be loaded, unless they are also in HandelIgnorePlugins in which case they will be ignored.
