=head1 NAME
Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolStarts - How to add behaviors that occur
when a tool starts work.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This tutorial will help you write plugins that have behavior when a tool
starts. All tools should start by acquiring a context object. This tutorial
shows you the hooks you can use to take advantage of the context acquisition.
=head1 COMPLETE CODE UP FRONT
package Test2::Plugin::MyPlugin;
use Test2::API qw{
test2_add_callback_context_init
test2_add_callback_context_acquire
};
sub import {
my $class = shift;
# Let us know every time a tool requests a context, and give us a
# chance to modify the parameters before we find it.
test2_add_callback_context_acquire(sub {
my $params_ref = shift;
print "A tool has requested the context\n";
});
# Callback every time a new context is created, not called if an
# existing context is found.

my $ctx_ref = shift;
print "A new context was created\n";

=item use Test2::API qw{test2_add_callback_context_init test2_add_callback_context_acquire};
This imports the C<test2_add_callback_context_init()> and
C<test2_add_callback_context_acquire()> callbacks.
=item test2_add_callback_context_acquire(sub { ... })
This is where we add our callback for context acquisition. Every time
C<Test2::API::context()> is called the callback will be run.
=item my $params_ref = shift
In the test2_add_callback_context_acquire() callbacks we get exactly 1
argument, a reference to the parameters that C<context()> will use to find the
context.
=item print "A tool has requested the context\n"
Print a notification whenever a tool asks for a context.
=item test2_add_callback_context_init(sub { ... })
Add our context init callback. These callbacks are triggered whenever a
completely new context is created. This is not called if an existing context is
found. In short this only fires off for the top level tool, not nested tools.
=item my $ctx_ref = shift
The coderefs for test2_add_callback_context_init() will receive exactly 1
argument, the newly created context.
=item print "A new context was created\n"
Print a notification whenever a new context is created.
