NAME

App::tabledata - Show content of TableData modules (plus a few other things)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.008 of App::tabledata (from Perl distribution App-tabledata), released on 2023-09-23.

SYNOPSIS

See the included script tabledata.

FUNCTIONS

tabledata

Usage:

tabledata(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Show content of TableData modules (plus a few other things).

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • action => str

    The default is dump_as_aoaos except when the table has infinite rows in which case the default action is stream_as_csv.

  • detail => bool

    (No description)

  • module => perl::tabledata::modname_with_optional_args

    (No description)

  • num => posint (default: 1)

    Number of rows to get (e.g. for pick_rows or head action).

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
