# Class FactoryBuilderSupport

java.lang.Object
groovy.lang.GroovyObjectSupport
groovy.lang.Binding
groovy.util.FactoryBuilderSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `GroovyObject`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `ObjectGraphBuilder`

public abstract class FactoryBuilderSupport extends Binding
Mix of BuilderSupport and SwingBuilder's factory support. Warning: this implementation is not thread safe and should not be used across threads in a multithreaded environment. A locking mechanism should be implemented by the subclass if use is expected across multiple threads.

      `parent` - the parent of the node being processed

  - ### popContext

    protected Map<String,Object> popContext()
    Removes the last context from the stack.
    Returns:

  - ### postInstantiate

    protected void postInstantiate(Object name, Map attributes, Object node)
    A hook after the factory creates the node and before attributes are set.
    It will call any registered postInstantiateDelegates, if you override this method be sure to call this impl somewhere in your code.
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the node
      `attributes` - the attributes for the node
      `node` - the object created by the node factory

  - ### postNodeCompletion

    protected Object postNodeCompletion(Object parent, Object node)
    A hook to allow nodes to be processed once they have had all of their children applied and allows the actual node object that represents the Markup element to be changed.
    It will call any registered postNodeCompletionDelegates, if you override this method be sure to call this impl at the end of your code.
    Parameters:
      `node` - the current node being processed
      `parent` - the parent of the node being processed
    Returns:
      the node, possibly new, that represents the markup element

  - ### preInstantiate

    protected void preInstantiate(Object name, Map attributes, Object value)
    A hook before the factory creates the node.
    It will call any registered preInstantiateDelegates, if you override this method be sure to call this impl somewhere in your code.
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the node
      `attributes` - the attributes of the node
      `value` - the value argument(s) of the node

  - ### reset

    protected void reset()
    Clears the context stack.

  - ### setClosureDelegate

    protected void setClosureDelegate(Closure closure, Object node)
    A strategy method to allow derived builders to use builder-trees and switch in different kinds of builders. This method should call the setDelegate() method on the closure which by default passes in this but if node is-a builder we could pass that in instead (or do something wacky too)
    Parameters:
      `closure` - the closure on which to call setDelegate()
      `node` - the node value that we've just created, which could be a builder

  - ### setNodeAttributes

    protected void setNodeAttributes(Object node, Map attributes)
    Maps attributes key/values to properties on node.
    Parameters:
      `node` - the object from the node
      `attributes` - the attributes to be set

  - ### setParent

    protected void setParent(Object parent, Object child)
    Strategy method to establish parent/child relationships.
    Parameters:
      `parent` - the object from the parent node
      `child` - the object from the child node

  - ### getContexts

    protected LinkedList<Map<String,Object>> getContexts()
    Returns:
      the stack of available contexts.

  - ### getContinuationData

    protected Map<String,Object> getContinuationData()
    Stores the thread local states in a Map that can be passed across threads
    Returns:
      the map

  - ### restoreFromContinuationData

    protected void restoreFromContinuationData(Map<String,Object> data)
    Restores the state of the current builder to the same state as an older build. Caution, this will destroy rather than merge the current build context if there is any,
    Parameters:
      `data` - the data retrieved from a compatible getContinuationData call

    public Object build(Class viewClass)

  - ### build

    public Object build(Script script)

  - ### build

    public Object build(String script, GroovyClassLoader loader)

  - ### withBuilder

    public Object withBuilder(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, Closure closure)
    Switches the builder's proxyBuilder during the execution of a closure.
    This is useful to temporary change the building context to another builder without the need for a contrived setup. It will also take care of restoring the previous proxyBuilder when the execution finishes, even if an exception was thrown from inside the closure.
    Parameters:
      `builder` - the temporary builder to switch to as proxyBuilder.
      `closure` - the closure to be executed under the temporary builder.
    Returns:
      the execution result of the closure.
    Throws:
      `RuntimeException` - - any exception the closure might have thrown during execution.

  - ### withBuilder

    public Object withBuilder(FactoryBuilderSupport builder, String name, Closure closure)
    Switches the builder's proxyBuilder during the execution of a closure.
    This is useful to temporary change the building context to another builder without the need for a contrived setup. It will also take care of restoring the previous proxyBuilder when the execution finishes, even if an exception was thrown from inside the closure. Additionally it will use the closure's result as the value for the node identified by 'name'.
    Parameters:
      `builder` - the temporary builder to switch to as proxyBuilder.
      `name` - the node to build on the 'parent' builder.
      `closure` - the closure to be executed under the temporary builder.
    Returns:
      a node that responds to value of name with the closure's result as its value.
    Throws:
      `RuntimeException` - - any exception the closure might have thrown during execution.

  - ### withBuilder

    public Object withBuilder(Map attributes, FactoryBuilderSupport builder, String name, Closure closure)
    Switches the builder's proxyBuilder during the execution of a closure.
    This is useful to temporary change the building context to another builder without the need for a contrived setup. It will also take care of restoring the previous proxyBuilder when the execution finishes, even if an exception was thrown from inside the closure. Additionally it will use the closure's result as the value for the node identified by 'name' and assign any attributes that might have been set.
    Parameters:
      `attributes` - additional properties for the node on the parent builder.
      `builder` - the temporary builder to switch to as proxyBuilder.
      `name` - the node to build on the 'parent' builder.
      `closure` - the closure to be executed under the temporary builder.
    Returns:
      a node that responds to value of name with the closure's result as its value.
    Throws:
      `RuntimeException` - - any exception the closure might have thrown during execution.
