Detailed Description

template<typename OutputType>
class keyvalue::key::ObjectMap< OutputType >

Maps names to objects.

A name (string) is mapped to (a pointer to) an object with that name. The mapping is performed by the Repository.

When the object's name is not found in the Repository, an attempt to build one from the given input (which, in fact, is a value::Variant) is done.

This map policy is automatically chosen by Traits when OutputType is not considered a basic type (see Default documentation). Hence, most users can ignore this map.

Parameters:

OutputType

: (template parameter) Output type.

Return values:

OutputType_

: Same as shared_ptr<OutputType>.
