Perl::Critic::PolicyFaUseryContributed Perl DocuPerl::Critic::PolicyFactory(3)NAMEPerl::Critic::PolicyFactory - Instantiates Policy objects.
DESCRIPTION
This is a helper class that instantiates Perl::Critic::Policy objects
with the user's preferred parameters. There are no user-serviceable
parts here.
INTERFACE SUPPORT
This is considered to be a non-public class. Its interface is subject
to change without notice.
CONSTRUCTOR
"new( -profile => $profile, -errors => $config_errors )"
Returns a reference to a new Perl::Critic::PolicyFactory object.
-profile is a reference to a Perl::Critic::UserProfile object.
This argument is required.
-errors is a reference to an instance of
Perl::Critic::ConfigErrors. This argument is optional. If
specified, than any problems found will be added to the object.
METHODS
"create_policy( -name => $policy_name, -params => \%param_hash )"
Creates one Policy object. If the object cannot be instantiated,
it will throw a fatal exception. Otherwise, it returns a reference
to the new Policy object.
-name is the name of a Perl::Critic::Policy subclass module. The
'Perl::Critic::Policy' portion of the name can be omitted for
brevity. This argument is required.
-params is an optional reference to hash of parameters that will be
passed into the constructor of the Policy. If "-params" is not
defined, we will use the appropriate Policy parameters from the
Perl::Critic::UserProfile.
Note that the Policy will not have had "initialize_if_enabled" in
Perl::Critic::Policy invoked on it, so it may not yet be usable.
" create_all_policies() "
Constructs and returns one instance of each Perl::Critic::Policy
subclass that is installed on the local system. Each Policy will
be created with the appropriate parameters from the user's
configuration profile.
Note that the Policies will not have had "initialize_if_enabled" in
Perl::Critic::Policy invoked on them, so they may not yet be
usable.
SUBROUTINESPerl::Critic::PolicyFactory has a few static subroutines that are used
internally, but may be useful to you in some way.
"site_policy_names()"
Returns a list of all the Policy modules that are currently
installed in the Perl::Critic:Policy namespace. These will include
modules that are distributed with Perl::Critic plus any third-party
modules that have been installed.
