=head1 NAME

Bio::Phylo::Factory - Creator of objects, reduces hardcoded class names in code

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Bio::Phylo::Factory;
 my $fac = Bio::Phylo::Factory->new;
 my $node = $fac->create_node( '-name' => 'node1' );

 # probably prints 'Bio::Phylo::Forest::Node'?
 print ref $node;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The factory module is used to create other objects without having to 'use' 
their classes. This allows for greater flexibility in Bio::Phylo's design,
as class names are no longer hard-coded all over the place.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 CONSTRUCTOR

=over

=item new()

Factory constructor.

 Type    : Constructor
 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $fac = Bio::Phylo::Factory->new;
 Function: Initializes a Bio::Phylo::Factory object.
 Returns : A Bio::Phylo::Factory object.
 Args    : (optional) a hash keyed on short names, with
           class names for values. For example, 
           'node' => 'Bio::Phylo::Forest::Node', which 
           will allow you to subsequently call $fac->create_node,
           which will return a Bio::Phylo::Forest::Node object.
           (Note that this example is enabled by default, so you
           don't need to specify it.)

sub new {

        my %args = looks_like_hash @_;
        while ( my ( $key, $value ) = each %args ) {
            if ( looks_like_class $value ) {
                $class{$key} = $value;
            }
        }
    }
    bless \$class, $class;
}

=head2 FACTORY METHODS

=over

=item create($class, %args)

 Type    : Factory methods
 Title   : create
 Usage   : my $foo = $fac->create('Foo::Class');
 Function: Creates an instance of $class, with constructor arguments %args
 Returns : A Bio::Phylo::* object.
 Args    : $class, a class name (required),
           %args, constructor arguments (optional)

=cut

sub create {
    my $self  = shift;
    my $class = shift;
    if ( looks_like_class $class ) {
        return $class->new(@_);
    }
}

=item register_class()

Registers the argument class name such that subsequently
the factory can instantiates objects of that class. For
example, if you register Foo::Bar, the factory will be 
able to instantiate objects through the create_bar()
method. 

 Type    : Factory methods
 Title   : register_class
 Usage   : $fac->register_class('Foo::Bar');
 Function: Registers a class name for instantiation
 Returns : Invocant
 Args    : $class, a class name (required), or
           'bar' => 'Foo::Bar', such that you
           can subsequently call $fac->create_bar()
