IOC::Service::Prototype - An IOC Service object which returns a prototype instance
use IOC::Service::Prototype;
This class essentially can be used just like IOC::Service, the only difference is that it will return a new instance of the component each time rather than a singleton instance.
+--------------+ | IOC::Service | +--------------+ | ^ | +-------------------------+ | IOC::Service::Prototype | +-------------------------+
One important distinction to make about this lifecycle as opposed to the singleton lifecycle is that we do not make any references to the component within the service, so you have total control over the scope of your component. This means that once the prototypical component you retrieved from a IOC::Service::Prototype container goes out of scope, it's DESTROY method will be called (assuming all it's own references have been cleaned up).
DESTROY
This is the only method this subclass overrides. It changes this behavior to return a new instance of the component each time, as opposed to the normal Singleton instance.
None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it.
I use Devel::Cover to test the code coverage of my tests, see the CODE COVERAGE section of IOC for more information.
