=head2 A note on Moose

This role is the only component of the library that uses Moose. See
AgentPushKit::Client::ApiFactory for non-Moosey usage.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

The Perl Generator in the OpenAPI Generator project builds a library of Perl modules to interact with
a web service defined by a OpenAPI Specification. See below for how to build the
library.

This module provides an interface to the generated library. All the classes,
objects, and methods (well, not quite *all*, see below) are flattened into this
role.

    package MyApp;
    use Moose;
    with 'AgentPushKit::Client::Role';

    package main;

    my $api = MyApp->new({ tokens => $tokens });

    my $pet = $api->get_pet_by_id(pet_id => $pet_id);

=head2 Structure of the library

The library consists of a set of API classes, one for each endpoint. These APIs
implement the method calls available on each endpoint.

Additionally, there is a set of "object" classes, which represent the objects
returned by and sent to the methods on the endpoints.

An API factory class is provided, which builds instances of each endpoint API.

This Moose role flattens all the methods from the endpoint APIs onto the consuming
class. It also provides methods to retrieve the endpoint API objects, and the API
factory object, should you need it.

For documentation of all these methods, see AUTOMATIC DOCUMENTATION below.

=head2 Configuring authentication

In the normal case, the OpenAPI Spec will describe what parameters are
required and where to put them. You just need to supply the tokens.

    my $tokens = {
        # basic
        username => $username,
        password => $password,

        # oauth
        access_token => $oauth_token,

        # keys
        $some_key => { token => $token,
                       prefix => $prefix,
                       in => $in,             # 'head||query',
                       },

        $another => { token => $token,
                      prefix => $prefix,
                      in => $in,              # 'head||query',
                      },
        ...,

        };

        my $api = MyApp->new({ tokens => $tokens });

Note these are all optional, as are C<prefix> and C<in>, and depend on the API
you are accessing. Usually C<prefix> and C<in> will be determined by the code generator from
the spec and you will not need to set them at run time. If not, C<in> will
default to 'head' and C<prefix> to the empty string.

The tokens will be placed in a L<AgentPushKit::Client::Configuration> instance
as follows, but you don't need to know about this.

=over 4

=item C<$cfg-\>{username}>

String. The username for basic auth.

=item C<$cfg-\>{password}>

String. The password for basic auth.

=item C<$cfg-\>{api_key}>

Hashref. Keyed on the name of each key (there can be multiple tokens).

    $cfg->{api_key} = {
        secretKey => 'aaaabbbbccccdddd',
        anotherKey => '1111222233334444',
        };

=item C<$cfg->{api_key_prefix}>

Hashref. Keyed on the name of each key (there can be multiple tokens). Note not
all api keys require a prefix.

    $cfg->{api_key_prefix} = {
        secretKey => 'string',
        anotherKey => 'same or some other string',
        };

=item C<$config-\>{access_token}>

String. The OAuth access token.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 C<base_url>

The generated code has the C<base_url> already set as a default value. This method
returns the current value of C<base_url>.

=head2 C<api_factory>

Returns an API factory object. You probably won't need to call this directly.

        $self->api_factory('Pet'); # returns a AgentPushKit::Client::PetApi instance

        $self->pet_api;            # the same

=head1 MISSING METHODS

Most of the methods on the API are delegated to individual endpoint API objects
(e.g. Pet API, Store API, User API etc). Where different endpoint APIs use the
same method name (e.g. C<new()>), these methods can't be delegated. So you need
to call C<$api-E<gt>pet_api-E<gt>new()>.

In principle, every API is susceptible to the presence of a few, random, undelegatable
method names. In practice, because of the way method names are constructed, it's
unlikely in general that any methods will be undelegatable, except for:

    new()
    class_documentation()
    method_documentation()

To call these methods, you need to get a handle on the relevant object, either
by calling C<$api-E<gt>foo_api> or by retrieving an object, e.g.
C<$api-E<gt>get_pet_by_id(pet_id =E<gt> $pet_id)>. They are class methods, so
you could also call them on class names.
