NAME

Metabase::Web::Model::Metabase - the Metabase::Web's model for the Metabase

DESCRIPTION

This model sets up a gateway, complete with librarians and archivers, and provides easy access to them. Most of the logic that Metabase::Web will rely in for retrieving or adding facts is either in Metabase::Web::Controller::Root or the Gateway and Librarian classes.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration can be used to configure the librarians (public and secret), the gateway, and the archives and indices. Valid configuration may look like:

  gateway:
    CLASS: the gateway class (defaults to Metabase::Gateway)
    librarian:
      CLASS: the librarian class (defaults to Metabase::Librarian)
      archive:
        CLASS: the archive class (defaults to Metabase::Archive::Filesystem)
      index:
        CLASS: the index class (defaults to Metabase::Index::FlatFile)
    secret_librarian: (same structure as librarian)
  fact_classes: [ arrayref of allowed Fact classes ]

(This section will be expanded in the future.)

METHODS

gateway

This method returns the metabase's gateway.

librarian

This method returns the metabase's public librarian.
