SYNOPSIS

    use Yancy::Util qw( load_backend );
    my $be = load_backend( 'test://localhost', $collections );

    use Yancy::Util qw( curry );

    use Yancy::Util qw( currym );
    my $sub = currym( $object, 'method_name', @args );

DESCRIPTION

This module contains utility functions for Yancy.

SUBROUTINES

load_backend

    my $backend = load_backend( $backend_url, $collections );
    my $backend = load_backend( { $backend_name => $arg }, $collections );

Get a Yancy backend from the given backend URL, or from a hash reference with a backend name and optional argument. The $collections hash is the configured collections for this backend.

A backend URL should begin with a name followed by a colon. The first letter of the name will be capitalized, and used to build a class name in the Yancy::Backend namespace.

The $backend_name should be the name of a module in the Yancy::Backend namespace. The $arg is handled by the backend module. Read your backend module's documentation for details.

See "Database Backend" in Yancy::Help::Config for information about backend URLs and Yancy::Backend for more information about backend objects.

curry

    my $curried_sub = curry( $sub, @args );

Return a new subref that, when called, will call the passed-in subref with the passed-in @args first.

For example:

    my $add = sub {
        my ( $lop, $rop ) = @_;
        return $lop + $rop;
    };
    my $add_four = curry( $add, 4 );
    say $add_four->( 1 ); # 5
    say $add_four->( 2 ); # 6
    say $add_four->( 3 ); # 7

This is more-accurately called partial application, but curry is shorter.

currym

    my $curried_sub = currym( $obj, $method, @args );

Return a subref that, when called, will call given $method on the given $obj with any passed-in @args first.

See "curry" for an example.
