=head1 NAME

TAP::Parser::ResultFactory - Factory for creating TAP::Parser output objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use TAP::Parser::ResultFactory;
  my $token   = {...};
  my $factory = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->new;
  my $result  = $factory->make_result( $token );

=head1 VERSION

Version 3.28

=cut

$VERSION = '3.28';

=head2 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple factory class which returns a L<TAP::Parser::Result> subclass
representing the current bit of test data from TAP (usually a single line).
It is used primarily by L<TAP::Parser::Grammar>.  Unless you're subclassing,
you probably won't need to use this module directly.

=head2 METHODS

=head2 Class Methods

=head3 C<new>

Creates a new factory class.
I<Note:> You currently don't need to instantiate a factory in order to use it.

=head3 C<make_result>

Returns an instance the appropriate class for the test token passed in.

my $result = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->make_result($token);

Can also be called as an instance method.

=cut

sub make_result {
    my ( $proto, $token ) = @_;
    my $type = $token->{type};
    return $proto->class_for($type)->new($token);
}

=head3 C<class_for>

Takes one argument: C<$type>.  Returns the class for this $type, or C<croak>s
with an error.

=head3 C<register_type>

Takes two arguments: C<$type>, C<$class>

This lets you override an existing type with your own custom type, or register
a completely new type, eg:

# create a custom result type:
  package MyResult;
  use strict;
  use vars qw(@ISA);
  @ISA = 'TAP::Parser::Result';

# register with the factory:
  TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( 'my_type' => __PACKAGE__ );

# use it:
  my $r = TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->( { type => 'my_type' } );

Your custom type should then be picked up automatically by the L<TAP::Parser>.

=cut

BEGIN {
    %CLASS_FOR = (
        plan    => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Plan',
        pragma  => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Pragma',
        test    => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Test',
        comment => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Comment',
        bailout => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Bailout',
        version => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Version',
        unknown => 'TAP::Parser::Result::Unknown',
        yaml    => 'TAP::Parser::Result::YAML',
    );
}

sub class_for {
    my ( $class, $type ) = @_;

# return target class:
    return $CLASS_FOR{$type} if exists $CLASS_FOR{$type};

# or complain:
    require Carp;
    Carp::croak("Could not determine class for result type '$type'");
}

sub register_type {
    my ( $class, $type, $rclass ) = @_;

# register it blindly, assume they know what they're doing
    $CLASS_FOR{$type} = $rclass;
    return $class;
}

=head1 SUBCLASSING

Please see L<TAP::Parser/SUBCLASSING> for a subclassing overview.

There are a few things to bear in mind when creating your own
C<ResultFactory>:

=over 4

=item 1

The factory itself is never instantiated (this I<may> change in the future).
This means that C<_initialize> is never called.

=item 2

C<TAP::Parser::Result-E<gt>new> is never called, $tokens are reblessed.
This I<will> change in a future version!

=item 3

L<TAP::Parser::Result> subclasses will register themselves with
L<TAP::Parser::ResultFactory> directly:

package MyFooResult;
  TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( foo => __PACKAGE__ );

Of course, it's up to you to decide whether or not to ignore them.

=back

=head2 Example

package MyResultFactory;

use strict;
  use vars '@ISA';

use MyResult;
  use TAP::Parser::ResultFactory;

@ISA = qw( TAP::Parser::ResultFactory );

# force all results to be 'MyResult'
  sub class_for {
    return 'MyResult';
  }
