Overview
|
||
|
|
========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The :term:`provider` concept is a way to "supplement" the main app
|
||
|
|
logic. It is different from a :term:`handler` though:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Providers are *more* analagous to "plugins" than are handlers. For
|
||
|
|
instance multiple :term:`app providers<app provider>` may be installed
|
||
|
|
by various packages and *each of these* will supplement the (one and
|
||
|
|
only) :term:`app handler`. See also :doc:`arch`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So far there is only one provider type defined; see :doc:`app`.
