.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a factory class that takes a TAP::Parser::Source and runs it through all the
registered TAP::Parser::SourceHandlers to see which one should handle the source.
.PP
If you're a plugin author, you'll be interested in how to \*(L"register_handler\*(R"s,
how \*(L"detect_source\*(R" works.

Creates a new factory class:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& my $sf = TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory\->new( $config );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW$config\fR is optional. If given, sets \*(L"config\*(R" and calls \*(L"load_handlers\*(R".
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`register_handler\*(C'\fI\fR

Registers a new TAP::Parser::SourceHandler with this factory.

.PP
Chaining getter/setter for the configuration of the available source handlers.
This is a hashref keyed on handler class whose values contain config to be passed
onto the handlers during detection & creation. Class names may be fully qualified
or abbreviated, eg:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& # these are equivalent
\& $sf\->config({ \*(AqTAP::Parser::SourceHandler::Perl\*(Aq => { %config } });
\& $sf\->config({ \*(AqPerl\*(Aq => { %config } });
.Ve
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`load_handlers\*(C'\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "load_handlers"
.PP
.Vb 1
\& $sf\->load_handlers;
.Ve
.PP
Loads the handler classes defined in \*(L"config\*(R". For example, given a config:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& $sf\->config({
\& MySourceHandler => { some => \*(Aqconfig\*(Aq },
\& });
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`load_handlers\*(C'\fR will attempt to load the \f(CW\*(C`MySourceHandler\*(C'\fR class by looking in
\&\f(CW@INC\fR for it in this order:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::MySourceHandler
\& MySourceHandler
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`croak\*(C'\fRs on error.
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`make_iterator\*(C'\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "make_iterator"
.PP
.Vb 1
\& my $iterator = $src_factory\->make_iterator( $source );
.Ve
.PP
Given a TAP::Parser::Source, finds the most suitable TAP::Parser::SourceHandler
to use to create a TAP::Parser::Iterator (see \*(L"detect_source\*(R"). Dies on error.
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`detect_source\*(C'\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "detect_source"
.PP
Given a TAP::Parser::Source, detects what kind of source it is and
returns \fIone\fR TAP::Parser::SourceHandler (the most confident one). Dies
on error.
.PP
The detection algorithm works something like this:
.PP
.Vb 5
\& for (@registered_handlers) {
\& # ask them how confident they are about handling this source
\& $confidence{$handler} = $handler\->can_handle( $source )
\& }
\& # choose the most confident handler
.Ve
.PP
Ties are handled by choosing the first handler.
.SH "SUBCLASSING"
.IX Header "SUBCLASSING"
Please see \*(L"\s-1SUBCLASSING\s0\*(R" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.
.SS "Example"
.IX Subsection "Example"
If we've done things right, you'll probably want to write a new source,
rather than sub-classing this (see TAP::Parser::SourceHandler for that).
.PP
But in case you find the need to...
.PP
.Vb 1
\& package MyIteratorFactory;
\&
\& use strict;
\&
\& use base \*(AqTAP::Parser::IteratorFactory\*(Aq;
\&
\& # override source detection algorithm
\& sub detect_source {
\& my ($self, $raw_source_ref, $meta) = @_;
\& # do detective work, using $meta and whatever else...
\& }
\&
\& 1;
