Reflex::Role::Accepting - add connection accepting to a class
version 0.085
package Reflex::Acceptor; use Moose; extends 'Reflex::Base'; has listener => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'FileHandle', required => 1 ); with 'Reflex::Role::Accepting' => { listener => 'listener', cb_accept => 'on_accept', cb_error => 'on_error', ev_accept => 'accept', ev_error => 'error', method_pause => 'pause', method_resume => 'resume', method_stop => 'stop', }; 1;
Reflex::Role::Accepting is a parameterized Moose role that accepts client connections from a listening socket. The role's parameters allow the consumer to customize the role's behavior.
listener key - name of attribute with the listening socket cb_accept method to call with accepted sockets (on_${listner}_accept) ev_accept event for default cb_accept to emit (${listener}_accept) cb_error method to call with errors (on_${listener}_error) ev_error event for default cb_error to emit (${listener}_error) method_pause method to pause accepting method_resume method to resume accepting method_stop method to stop accepting and release resources
accept() reactions to classes that contain listening sockets. Because it's a role, the class composition happens before runtime, as opposed to runtime composition that occurs in other reactive libraries.
See Reflex::Acceptor if you prefer runtime composition with objects, or if Moose syntax just gives you the heebie-jeebies.
The listener parameter must contain the name of an attribute that contains the listening socket handle. The name indirection allows the role to generate methods that are unique to the listening socket. This becomes important when a class wants to listen on more than one socket---each socket gets its own name, and distinct methods to tell them apart.
listener
For example, a listener named "XYZ" would generate these methods by default:
cb_accept => "on_XYZ_accept", cb_error => "on_XYZ_error", method_pause => "pause_XYZ", # ... and so on.
cb_accept overrides the default name for the class's accept handler method. This handler will be called whenever a client connection is successfully accepted.
cb_accept
The default method name is "on_${listener}_accept", where $listener is the name of the listening socket attribute. This role defines a default callback that emits an "accept" event, which may be overridden with the ev_accept role parameter.
ev_accept
All callback methods receive two parameters: $self and an anonymous hash containing information specific to the callback. In cb_accept's case, the anonymous hash contains two values: accept()'s return value is named "peer", and the accepted client socket is named "socket".
See perldoc -f accept() for more information about "peer" and "socket".
cb_error names the $self method that will be called whenever accept() encounters an error. By default, this method will be the catenation of "on_", the listener name, and "_error". As in on_XYZ_error(), if the listener is named "XYZ". The role defines a default callback that will emit an "error" event by default, with cb_error()'s parameters. The default "error" event may be overridden using the role's ev_error parameter.
cb_error
ev_error
cb_error callbacks receive two parameters, $self and an anonymous hashref of named values specific to the callback. Reflex error callbacks include three standard values. errfun contains a single word description of the function that failed. errnum contains the numeric value of $! at the time of failure. errstr holds the stringified version of $!.
errfun
errnum
$!
errstr
Values of $! are passed as parameters since the global variable may change before the callback can be invoked.
When overriding this callback, please be sure to call stopped(), which is provided by Reflex::Role::Collectible. Calling stopped() is vital for collectible objects to be released from memory when managed by Reflex::Collection.
The ev_accept role parameter overrides the default event emitted by the cb_accept callback. It's moot if cb_accept is overridden.
The ev_error role parameter overrides the default event emitted by the cb_error callback. It's moot if cb_error is overridden.
method_pause defines the name of a method that will temporarily pause the class from accepting new clients. The role will define this method for you. The default method name is "pause_${listener}", where $listener is the name of the listening socket attribute.
method_pause
method_resume defines the name of a method that will allow the class to resume accepting new client connections. The role will define this method for you. The default method name is "resume_${listener}", where $listener is the name of the listening socket attribute.
method_resume
method_stop defines the name of a method that will permanently stop the class from accepting new clients. The role will define this method for you. The default method name is "stop_${listener}", where $listener is the name of the listening socket attribute.
method_stop
TODO - I'm sure there are some.
