NAME

Eidolon::Core::Loader - Eidolon driver loader.

SYNOPSIS

This code must be placed in one of your application controllers. For example, in lib/Example/Controller/Default.pm:

    sub default : Default
    {
        my ($r, $tpl);

        $r   = Eidolon::Core::Registry->get_instance;
        $tpl = $r->loader->get_object("Eidolon::Driver::Template");

        if ($tpl) 
        {
            $tpl->parse("index.tpl");
            $tpl->render;
        }
    }

DESCRIPTION

The Eidolon::Core::Loader package is the central part of Eidolon abstraction layer. It provides the unified interface for manipulations with vital application objects (drivers). You can load a new driver and gain access to loaded drivers with this package.

The driver being loaded must be inherited from Eidolon::Driver class to pass driver validation procedure.

The object of Eidolon::Core::Loader is mounted in application registry as $r->loader, so it can be used later by any application component.

METHODS

Class constructor.

load($class, @params)

Loads a $class driver and initializes it with given @params (if any).

get_object($class)
