Introduction</h1>
|
|
<p>Usually service locators are tightly bound to the services they expose and it's hard to define a general purpose solution. This template based implementation tries to fill the gap and to get rid of the burden of defining a different specific locator for each application.<br />
|
|
This class is tiny, partially unsafe and thus risky to use. Moreover it doesn't fit probably most of the scenarios in which a service locator is required. Look at it as a small tool that can sometimes be useful if users know how to handle it.</p>
|
|

|
|
Service locator</h1>
|
|
<p>The API is straightforward. The basic idea is that services are implemented by means of interfaces and rely on polymorphism.<br />
|
|
The locator is instantiated with the base type of the service if any and a concrete implementation is provided along with all the parameters required to initialize it. As an example:</p>
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="comment">// the service has no base type, a locator is used to treat it as a kind of singleton</span></div>
|
|
<div class="line"><a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html#a116dc62f5d2a1c65db9d7528c957e91f">entt::service_locator<my_service>::set</a>(params...);</div>
|
|
<div class="line"> </div>
|
|
<div class="line"><span class="comment">// sets up an opaque service</span></div>
|
|
<div class="line"><a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html">entt::service_locator<audio_interface>::set<audio_implementation></a>(params...);</div>
|
|
<div class="line"> </div>
|
|
<div class="line"><span class="comment">// resets (destroys) the service</span></div>
|
|
<div class="line"><a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html#a4d655acab54d87058ad41a266830d0e8">entt::service_locator<audio_interface>::reset</a>();</div>
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>The locator can also be queried to know if an active service is currently set and to retrieve it if necessary (either as a pointer or as a reference):</p>
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="comment">// no service currently set</span></div>
|
|
<div class="line"><span class="keyword">auto</span> empty = <a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html#a9265b7273a758003283a79f7a4de6250">entt::service_locator<audio_interface>::empty</a>();</div>
|
|
<div class="line"> </div>
|
|
<div class="line"><span class="comment">// gets a (possibly empty) shared pointer to the service ...</span></div>
|
|
<div class="line">std::shared_ptr<audio_interface> ptr = <a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html#ab72c1dab3eec4554690a82457894b385">entt::service_locator<audio_interface>::get</a>();</div>
|
|
<div class="line"> </div>
|
|
<div class="line"><span class="comment">// ... or a reference, but it's undefined behaviour if the service isn't set yet</span></div>
|
|
<div class="line">audio_interface &ref = <a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html#ae24d16726620af40371fadeddf5b5e2e">entt::service_locator<audio_interface>::ref</a>();</div>
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>A common use is to wrap the different locators in a container class, creating aliases for the various services:</p>
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">struct </span>locator {</div>
|
|
<div class="line"> <span class="keyword">using</span> camera = <a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html">entt::service_locator<camera_interface></a>;</div>
|
|
<div class="line"> <span class="keyword">using</span> audio = <a class="code" href="structentt_1_1service__locator.html">entt::service_locator<audio_interface></a>;</div>
|
|

<div class="line">};</div>

|
|
<div class="line"> locator::camera::set<camera_null>();</div>
|
