Bigtop::Docs::AutoBackends(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bigtop::Docs::AutoBackends(3)

Bigtop::Docs::AutoBackends - lists all backends and their config statements

Bigtop is a facade for a set of backends which do the actual generation. Each generating backend lives in the Bigtop::Backend:: namespace. Further, each backend has a type or family. For example, there are three generators in the SQL family. All of them live in the Bigtop::Backend::SQL:: namespace. Finally, each backend is in a module, whose name completes the package name. For example the PostgreSQL backend is Bigtop::Backend::SQL::Postgres.

Below are listes all the current Bigtop backends (at least the ones that ship with Bigtop, your local system could have others). In addition to briefly describing what the backend is responsible for building, there is also a description of all the keywords you can put in the backend's config block to control its behavior.

All backends are listed in the Bigtop config block, which begins each bigtop file. That list controls what the user is allowed to build. The order of appearance controls the order of generation when the user chooses to build all, as in

    bigtop docs/app.bigtop all

A typical backend block looks like this:

    CGI Gantry { with_server 1; }

Here there is a backend type "CGI", a specific backend "Bigtop::Backend::CGI::Gantry" and a block with one statement: "with_server".

That block goes in the config block at the top of the file:

    config {
        # config statements like 'engine' statements
        CGI Gantry { with_server 1; }
        # ... other backends
    }

Now that you know what backend blocks look like, and where to put them, it's time for the "Litany of Backends".

Below is a subsection for each backend type. Within the subsection is a list of backends in that type family.

Note that the list below is in alphabetical order by type family, but you almost always need to list an Init:: backend first. They are responsible for making the build directory among other things.
