NAME

Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate - Iterator Result Validation

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Range::Compare::Stream;
use Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Array;
use Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate;


my $list=[
  
  # Invalid range 1
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(),

  # Invalid range 2
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(0),
  # Invalid range 3
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(undef,0),
  # Invalid range 4
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(1,0),

  # Valid range 1
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(0,0),

  # Valid range 2
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(1,2),

  # Invalid range 5
  Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(2,1),
];

sub bad_range {
  my ($range)=@_;
  print "Invalid range found\n";
}

my $it=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Array(range_list=>$list,sorted=>1);

my $valid=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate($it,on_bad_range=>\&bad_range);
while($valid->has_next) {
  my $result=$valid->get_next;
  print $result,"\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

This class validates result objects returned from iterators that implement Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Base.

How ranges are defined as not valid.

Data::Range::Compare::Stream and all classes that implement have a instance->boolean interface. When the boolean interface returns false the range is considered invalid.

OO Methods

• my $valid=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate($iterator);

• my $valid=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate($iterator,key=>value);

  Required Arguments:

  $iterator
    # object extends or implements L<Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Base>

  Optional Arguments

  on_bad_range=>undef|code_ref
    # Default: undef,  Code ref called with the the invalid range found as an argument.
    

• while($iterator->has_next) { ... }

  Returns true if there is a valid range.

• my $range=$iterator->get_next;

  Returns the next valid range.

• $self->on_bad_range($range);

  This function is called internally when a range is found to be invalid. This function does nothing by default unless on_bad_range=>code_ref has been defined. When on_bad_range is defined the code ref is called with the range as the only argument.
