Interface NodeFactory<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

All Known Implementing Classes:

CallbackNodeFactory, ClockFactory, EventDispatcherFactory, NodeNameLookupFactory

public interface NodeFactory<T>

A factory for creating instances. The SEP will call this method to create nodes.

Instance re-use

To ensure that node instances are re-used there are two approaches:

• The factory caches the node, and returns the same instance for the same configuration.
• The factory creates new nodes and the node overrides hashcode and equals. The NodeRegistry will consult a map for an equivalent node. If an equivalent node is found then the newly created node will be discarded and the existing instance used.

Registering factories

Fluxtion employs the ServiceLoader pattern to register user implemented NodeFactories. Please read the java documentation describing the meta-data a factory implementor must provide to register a factory using the ServiceLoader pattern.

T	createNode(Map<String,Object> config, NodeRegistry registry) NodeFactory writer must implement this method to generate instances of nodes.

Method Detail

createNode

T createNode(Map<String,Object> config,
             NodeRegistry registry)

NodeFactory writer must implement this method to generate instances of nodes. The Fluxtion compiler will call this method when an Inject instance is created. Config variables are used to populate the config map.

Parameters:

config - map configuration

registry - The node registry of the current generation contextß

Returns:

The newly created node instance

postInstanceRegistration

default void postInstanceRegistration(Map<String,Object> config,
                                      NodeRegistry registry,
                                      T instance)

Callback invoked by Fluxtion generator after the generated SEP has been registered in theGenerationContext

Parameters:

config - map configuration

registry - The node registry of the current generation context

instance - the newly created instance

setTargetLanguage

default void setTargetLanguage(String targetLanguage)

If the node generates a class for this SEP, this callback will indicate the desired target.

Parameters:

targetLanguage - target language for generation

preSepGeneration

default void preSepGeneration(GenerationContext context)

If the node generates a class for this SEP, this callback gives the node access to the GenerationContext before generation.

Parameters:

context - The context the Fluxtion SEC compiler uses

factoryName

default String factoryName()
