Detailed Description

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

Maps names to objects.

A name (string) is mapped to (a pointer to) an object having 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 (a value::Variant object) 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:

ObjectType

: (template parameter) The type of output object.

Return values:

OutputType_

: Same as shared_ptr<ObjectType>.
