=head1 NAME Froody::Dispatch - Easily call Froody Methods =head1 SYNOPSIS use Froody::Dispatch; my $dispatcher = Froody::Dispatch->new(); my $response = $dispatcher->call( "foo.bar.baz", fred => "wilma" ); or, as a client: $client = Froody::Dispatch->new; # uses reflection to load methods from the server $client->add_endpoint( "uri" ); # look mah, no arguments! $rsp = $invoker->invoke($client, 'service.wibble'); # ok, take some arguments then. $rsp = $invoker->invoke($client, 'service.devide', divisor => 1, dividend => 2); # alternatively, args can be passed as a hashref: $args = { devisor => 1, devidend => 2 }; $rsp = $invoker->invoke($client, 'service.devide', $args); =head1 DESCRIPTION This class handles dispatching Froody Methods. It's used both from within the servers where you don't want to have to worry about the little details and as a client. =cut package Froody::Dispatch; use base qw( Froody::Base ); use warnings; use strict; use Params::Validate qw(:all); use Scalar::Util qw( blessed ); use Froody::Response::Terse; use Froody::Repository; use Froody::Response::Error; use Froody::Invoker::Remote; use Froody::Error qw(err); use Froody::Logger; my $logger = get_logger("froody.dispatch"); __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw{response_class error_class endpoints filters}); =head1 METHODS =head2 Class Methods =over 4 =item new Create a new instance of the dispatcher =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); $self->endpoints({}) unless $self->endpoints; $self->error_class('Froody::Response::Error') unless $self->error_class; $self; } =item parse_cli (@args) Parses a list of files, urls, modules, method filter expressions, and paths.

Takes { filters => [], modules => [], urls => [], includes => [] } and ensures that the dispatcher only contains methods that are present in either the modules list or the urls list, and only if those modules match one or more of the filters in the filters list.
