NAME Data::Object ABSTRACT Object-Orientation for Perl 5 SYNOPSIS package main; use Data::Object; my $array = Array [1..4]; # my $iterator = $array->iterator; # $iterator->next; # 1 DESCRIPTION This package automatically exports and provides constructor functions for creating chainable data type objects from raw Perl data types. LIBRARIES This package uses type constraints from: Data::Object::Types FUNCTIONS This package implements the following functions: args Args(HashRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Args"] The Args function returns a Data::Object::Args object. Args example #1 package main; use Data::Object 'Args'; my $args = Args; # [...] Args example #2 package main; my $args = Args { subcommand => 0 }; # $args->subcommand; array Array(ArrayRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Array function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Array object. Array example #1 package main; my $array = Array; # [] Array example #2 package main; my $array = Array [1..4]; boolean Boolean(Bool $data) : BooleanObject The Boolean function returns a Data::Object::Boolean object representing a true or false value. Boolean example #1 package main; my $boolean = Boolean; Boolean example #2 package main; my $boolean = Boolean 0; box Box(Any $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Box function returns a Data::Object::Box object representing a data type object which is automatically deduced. Box example #1 package main; my $box = Box; Box example #2 package main; my $box = Box 123; Box example #3 package main; my $box = Box [1..4]; Box example #4 package main; my $box = Box {1..4}; code Code(CodeRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Code function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Code object. Code example #1 package main; my $code = Code; Code example #2 package main; my $code = Code sub { shift }; data Data(Str $file) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Data"] The Data function returns a Data::Object::Data object. Data example #1 package main; use Data::Object 'Data'; my $data = Data; Data example #2 package main; my $data = Data '/path/to/file.pod'; # $data->contents(...); false False() : BooleanObject The False function returns a Data::Object::Boolean object representing a false value. False example #1 package main; my $false = False; float Float(Num $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Float function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Float object. Float example #1 package main; my $float = Float; Float example #2 package main; my $float = Float '0.0'; hash Hash(HashRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Hash function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Hash object. Hash example #1 package main; my $hash = Hash; Hash example #2 package main; my $hash = Hash {1..4}; name Name(Str $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Name"] The Name function returns a Name::Object::Name object. Name example #1 package main; use Data::Object 'Name'; my $name = Name 'Example Title'; # $name->package; number Number(Num $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Number function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Number object. Number example #1 package main; my $number = Number; Number example #2 package main; my $number = Number 123; opts Opts(HashRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Opts"] The Opts function returns a Data::Object::Opts object. Opts example #1 package main; my $opts = Opts; Opts example #2 package main; my $opts = Opts { spec => ['files|f=s'] }; # $opts->files; [...] regexp Regexp(RegexpRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Regexp function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Regexp object. Regexp example #1 package main; my $regexp = Regexp; Regexp example #2 package main; my $regexp = Regexp qr/.*/; scalar Scalar(Ref $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Scalar function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::Scalar object. Scalar example #1 package main; my $scalar = Scalar; Scalar example #2 package main; my $scalar = Scalar \*main; space Space(Str $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Space"] The Space function returns a Data::Object::Space object. Space example #1 package main; use Data::Object 'Space'; my $space = Space 'Example Namespace'; string String(Str $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The String function returns a Data::Object::Box which wraps a Data::Object::String object. String example #1 package main; my $string = String; String example #2 package main; my $string = String 'abc'; struct Struct(HashRef $data) : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Struct"] The Struct function returns a Data::Object::Struct object. Struct example #1 package main; use Data::Object 'Struct'; my $struct = Struct; Struct example #2 package main; my $struct = Struct { name => 'example', time => time }; true True() : BooleanObject The True function returns a Data::Object::Boolean object representing a true value. True example #1 package main; my $true = True; undef Undef() : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Box"] The Undef function returns a Data::Object::Undef object representing the undefined value. Undef example #1 package main; my $undef = Undef; vars Vars() : InstanceOf["Data::Object::Vars"] The Vars function returns a Data::Object::Vars object representing the available environment variables. Vars example #1 package main; use Data::Object 'Vars'; my $vars = Vars; Vars example #2 package main; my $vars = Vars { user => 'USER' }; # $vars->user; # $USER AUTHOR Al Newkirk, awncorp@cpan.org LICENSE Copyright (C) 2011-2019, Al Newkirk, et al.
