=head1 NAME

Bigtop::Backend::Control - defines legal keywords in control blocks

=head1 SYNOPSIS

If you are making a control generating backend:

    use Bigtop::Backend::Control;

This specifies the valid keywords for the controller.

If you need additional keywords which are generally useful, add them
here (and send in a patch).  If you need backend specific keywords, register
them within your backend module.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

If you are using a Bigtop backend which generates controllers, you should read
this document to find out what the valid keywords inside controller blocks
are and what affect they have.

If you are writing a Bigtop backend which generates controllers, you should
use this module.  That will register the standard controller keywords with
the Bigtop parser.

=head1 BASIC STRUCTURE

A controller block looks like this:

    controller name { }

Inside the braces, you can include simple statements or method blocks.
Each method block looks like this:

    method name is type { }

The type must be supported by your backend.  Look in its pod for
SUPPORTED TYPES.

=head1 KEYWORDS in app blocks

This module registers these keywords in app blocks:

=over 4

=item authors

These are the authors which Control backends will put in the pod
stub for each generated module.  Unless you use the copyright_holder
statement, the first author will also be used as the copyright holder.

Entries in this list may be either simple names or name => email pairs.

=item contact_us

Text to include in the CONTACT US section of the base module's POD.

=item copyright_holder

This string will come at the end of the phrase Copyright...
in the pod.  By default, it will be the first person in the authors list.

=item email

Deprecated synonymn for contact_us.

This will be presented by the Control backend as the author's email
in the AUTHOR section of the pod block at the bottom of each module.

=item license_text

The exact text of the paragraph that comes directly after the copyright
statement in the all files that have that.  Controllers should pick
a default that h2xs would have generated for Perl version 5.8 or later.

Example:

    copyright_holder `Your Company Inc.`;
    license_text     `All rights reserved.`;

Example output:

    Copyright (c) 2005 Your Company Inc.

    All rights reserved.

=head1 KEYWORDS in controller blocks

The simple statement keywords available in controller blocks are
(all of these are optional):

=over 4

=item controls_table

This is the name of the table which this controller controls.  It must
be defined in a table block somewhere in the bigtop file.

=item uses

A comma separated list of modules which the controller should include with
Perl use statements.  There is not currently a way to limit what these
modules export, except by editing the generated stub.

=item text_description

This is a short phrase that describes the rows of the table.  It will
usually become the return value of get_text_description (a class accessor).
For example, Gantry's AutoCRUD uses this in user messages.

=back

Note that some other backend types also look for information in controller
blocks.  Pay particular attention to HttpdConf backends.  They typically
expect a location or rel_location keyword which becomes the Apache Location
for the controller.
