Factory Class Reference

Detailed Description

The factory is responsible for:

1. retriving a NEML2Object given the object name as a std::string
2. creating a NEML2Object given the type of the NEML2Object as a std::string.

#include <Factory.h>

Static Public Member Functions
static Factory &	get ()
	Get the global Factory singleton.
template<class T >
static std::shared_ptr< T >	get_object_ptr (const std::string &section, const std::string &name, const OptionSet &additional_options=OptionSet(), bool force_create=true)
	Retrive an object pointer under the given section with the given object name.
template<class T >
static T &	get_object (const std::string &section, const std::string &name, const OptionSet &additional_options=OptionSet(), bool force_create=true)
	Retrive an object reference under the given section with the given object name.
static void	load_options (const OptionCollection &all_options)
	Provide all objects' options to the factory. The factory is ready to manufacture objects after this call, e.g., through either manufacture, get_object, or get_object_ptr.
static const OptionCollection &	loaded_options ()
	Get the loaded options.
static void	clear ()
	Destruct all the objects.
static void	print (std::ostream &os=std::cout)
	List all the manufactured objects.

Protected Member Functions
void	create_object (const std::string &section, const OptionSet &options)
	Manufacture a single NEML2Object.

Member Function Documentation

clear()

void clear ( )

static

Destruct all the objects.

create_object()

void create_object ( const std::string & section, const OptionSet & options )

protected

Manufacture a single NEML2Object.

Parameters

section	The section which the object to be manufactured belongs to.
options	The options of the object.

get()

Factory & get ( )

static

Get the global Factory singleton.

get_object()

template<class T >

T & get_object ( const std::string & section, const std::string & name, const OptionSet & additional_options = OptionSet(), bool force_create = true )

inlinestatic

Retrive an object reference under the given section with the given object name.

An exception is thrown if

• the object with the given name does not exist, or
• the object with the given name exists but does not have the correct type (e.g., dynamic case fails).

Template Parameters

T	The type of the NEML2Object

Parameters

section	The section name under which the search happens.
name	The name of the object to retrieve.
additional_options	Additional input options to pass to the object constructor
force_create	(Optional) Force the factory to create a new object even if the object has already been created.

Returns

T & The object reference.

get_object_ptr()

template<class T >

std::shared_ptr< T > get_object_ptr ( const std::string & section, const std::string & name, const OptionSet & additional_options = OptionSet(), bool force_create = true )

inlinestatic

Retrive an object pointer under the given section with the given object name.

An exception is thrown if

• the object with the given name does not exist, or
• the object with the given name exists but does not have the correct type (e.g., dynamic case fails).

Template Parameters

T	The type of the NEML2Object

Parameters

section	The section name under which the search happens.
name	The name of the object to retrieve.
additional_options	Additional input options to pass to the object constructor
force_create	(Optional) Force the factory to create a new object even if the object has already been created.

Returns

std::shared_ptr<T> The object pointer.

load_options()

void load_options ( const OptionCollection & all_options )

static

Provide all objects' options to the factory. The factory is ready to manufacture objects after this call, e.g., through either manufacture, get_object, or get_object_ptr.

Parameters

all_options

The collection of all the options of the objects to be manufactured.

loaded_options()

const OptionCollection & loaded_options ( )

static

Get the loaded options.

print()

void print ( std::ostream & os = std::cout )

static

List all the manufactured objects.

Parameters

os	The stream to write to.
