=head1 NAME
IO::Iron - Client Libraries to Iron services IronCache, IronMQ and IronWorker.
=head1 VERSION
version 0.14
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IO::Iron;
use IO::Iron qw{ironcache ironmq ironworker};
use IO::Iron ':all';
my $iron_mq_client = ironmq();
my @iron_mq_queues = $iron_mq_client->get_queues();
my $iron_cache_client = ironcache( config => 'iron_cache.json' );
my @iron_caches = $iron_cache_client->get_caches();
my $iron_worker_client = ironworker( config => 'iron_worker.json' );
my @iron_codes = $iron_worker_client->list_code_packages();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
IronCache, IronMQ and IronWorker are cloud based services accessible
via a REST API. CPAN Distribution IO::Iron contains Perl clients for
accessing them.
[See L<http://www.iron.io/|http://www.iron.io/>]
Please see the individual clients for further documentation and usage.
Clients:
=over 8
=item L<IO::Iron::IronCache::Client|IO::Iron::IronCache::Client>
=item L<IO::Iron::IronMQ::Client|IO::Iron::IronMQ::Client>
=item L<IO::Iron::IronWorker::Client|IO::Iron::IronWorker::Client>
=back
IO-Iron code is available at Github: L<IO-Iron|https://github.com/mikkoi/io-iron>
for download with Git: L<https://github.com/mikkoi/io-iron.git|https://github.com/mikkoi/io-iron.git>.
=head2 IO::Iron
Package IO::Iron is only a "convenience" module for quick startup.
The three functions provided are L</ironcache>, L</ironmq> and L</ironworker>.
The following parameters can be given to each of them as hash item type
parameters. See section L</SYNOPSIS> for an example.
=over 8
=item C<project_id>, The ID of the project to use for requests.
=item C<token>, The OAuth token that is used to authenticate requests.
=item C<host>, The domain name the API can be located at. E.g. 'mq-aws-us-east-1.iron.io/1'.
=item C<protocol>, The protocol that will be used to communicate with the API. Defaults to "https".
=item C<port>, The port to connect to the API through. Defaults to 443.
=item C<api_version>, The version of the API to connect through. Defaults to the version supported by the client.
=item C<timeout>, REST client timeout (for REST calls accessing IronMQ.)
=item C<config>, Config filename with path if required.
=back
You can also give the parameters in the config file F<.iron.json> or
F<iron.json> (in local directory) or as environmental variables. Please read
L<Configuring the Official Client Libraries|http://dev.iron.io/mq/reference/configuration/> for further details.
=head3 Client Documentation
Please read individual client's documentation for using them.
=head3 Exceptions
A REST call to Iron service may fail for several reason.
All failures generate an exception using the L<Exception::Class|Exception::Class> package.
Class IronHTTPCallException contains the field status_code, response_message and error.
Error is formatted as such: IronHTTPCallException: status_code=<HTTP status code> response_message=<response_message>.
use Try::Tiny;
use Scalar::Util qw{blessed};
try {
my $asked_iron_cache_01 = $iron_cache_client->get_cache('name' => 'unique_cache_name_01');
}
catch {
die $_ unless blessed $_ && $_->can('rethrow');
if ( $_->isa('IronHTTPCallException') ) {
if ($_->status_code == 404) {
print "Bad things! Can not just find the catch in this!\n";
}
}
else {
$_->rethrow; # Push the error upwards.
}
};
When using policies (see next chapter) also exceptions
NoIronPolicyException and CharacterGroupNotDefinedIronPolicyException
can be met.
=head3 Policies
Policies is a way to limit the names of message queues, code packages,
caches and items (item keys)
to a predefined group of possible strings. This can limit the chances
for typos and enforce an enterprise policy. The policies are loaded from
a JSON file which is specified either when creating a
IO::Iron::Iron*::Client object, or
in the config file F<.iron.json> (or equivalent).
=head4 Policies in Config file
Add the item I<policies> to the config file. The value of the item is the
filename of the policies file.
Example config file:
{
"project_id":"51bdf5fb2267d84ced002c99",
"token":"-Q9OEHZPhdZtd0KHBzzdUJIqV_E",
"host":"cache-aws-us-east-1.iron.io",
"policies":"iron_policies.json"
}
=head4 Policies file specified when creating the client
my $policies_filename = '/etc/ironmq/global_policies.json';
my $client = IO::Iron::IronCache::Client->new('policies' => $policies_filename);
=head4 Examples of Policies File and Explanation of Configuration
The 'default' policies JSON file:
{
"definition":{
"character_group":{
},
"no_limitation":1, # There is an unlimited number of alternatives.
},
"queue":{ "name":[ "[:alnum:]{1,}" ], },
"cache":{
"name":[ "[:alnum:]{1,}" ],
"item_key":[ "[:alnum:]{1,}" ]
},
"worker":{ "name":[ "[:alnum:]{1,}" ], }
}
The above file would set an open policy for IronMQ, IronCache and IronWorker alike.
The file is divided into four parts: definition for defining meta options, and
queue|cache|worker parts for defining the changing strings
(queue|cache|worker names and item keys). The character group I<alnum> covers
all ascii alphabetic characters (both lower and upper case) and digits (0-9).
N.B. The option I<definition:no_limitation> controls the open/closed policy.
If I<definition:no_limitation> is set (1=set), the policy control is
turned off.
An example of policies file
{
"__comment1":"Use normal regexp. [:digit:] = number:0-9, [:alpha:] = alphabetic character, [:alnum:] = character or number.",
"__comment2":"Do not use end/begin limitators '^' and '\$'. They are added automatically.",
"__comment3":"Note that character groups are closed inside '[::]', not '[[:]]' as normal POSIX groups.",
"definition":{
"character_group":{
"[:lim_uchar:]":"ABC",
"[:low_digit:]":"0123"
},
},
"cache":{
"name":[
"cache_01_main",
"cache_[:alpha:]{1}[:digit:]{2}"
],
"item_key":[
"item.01_[:digit:]{2}",
"item.02_[:lim_uchar:]{1,2}"
]
}
}
This policies file sets policies for cache names and item keys. Both have two
templates. Template "cache_01_main" is without wildcards: the template list
can also only contain predefined names or keys. Sometimes this could be
exactly the wanted behaviour, especially in regard to cache and
message queue names.
Items beginning with '__' are considered comments. Comments can not be
inserted into lists, such as I<character_group>.
The I<definition> part contains the list I<character_group> for user-defined
groups. The following groups are predefined:
=over 8
=item [:alpha:], ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
=item [:alnum:], ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
=item [:digit:], 0123456789
=item [:lower:], abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
=item [:upper:], ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
=item [:word:], ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_
=back
All lower ASCII (7-bit) characters are allowed in names and in character
groups, except for the reserved characters (S<RFC 3986>)
S<B<!$&'()*+,;=:/?#[]@>>.
A character group definition is closed inside characters '[::]',
not '[[:]]' as normal POSIX groups. Only the equivalents of the POSIX groups
mentioned above can be used; e.g. POSIX group C<[[:graph:]]> is not available.
When using the character groups in a name or key, only two markings are allowed:
C<[:group:]{n}> and C<[:group:]{n,n}>, where C<n> is an integer.
This limitation (not being able to use any regular expression) is due to the
double functionality of the policy: a) it acts as a filter when creating
and naming new message queues, code packages, caches and cache items; 2) it
can be used to list all possible names, for example when querying for
cache items.

=head1 STATUS
Iron.io libraries are currently being developed so changes in the API are
possible.
=head1 REQUIREMENTS
IO::Iron requires an IronIO account. Three configuration items must
be set (others available) before using the functions:
C<project_id>, C<token> and C<host>. These can be set in a json file,
as environmental variables or as parameters when creating the object.
=over 8
=item C<project_id>, the identification string, from IronIO.
=item C<token>, an OAuth authentication token string, from IronIO.
=item C<host>, the cloud in which you want to operate, e.g. 'cache-aws-us-east-1' for AWS (Amazon) or 'mq-rackspace-ord.iron.io' or 'mq-rackspace-lon.iron.io' for Rackspace.
Please see L<IronMQ HTTP API Reference (hosts)|http://dev.iron.io/mq/3/host/>
for available hosts.
=back
=head1 TESTING
Subdirectory F<integ_t> contains "integration" tests which require an active Iron.io account and Internet connection.
To run the tests, create first three config files in the main directory:
F<iron_cache.json>, F<iron_mq.json>, F<iron_worker.json>.
Set at least the following attributes: B<project_id>, B<token> and B<host>.
Execute B<prove> (L<prove|https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/TAP-Parser/bin/prove>), e.g. B<prove -lv -Iinteg_t integ_t\Iron\iron_all.t>.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
