NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::HashDumper - Dump selected hash keys as a string
VERSION
This document describes version 4.13 of Dist::Zilla::Role::HashDumper, released December 17, 2017 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugins-CJM version 6.000.
DESCRIPTION
Plugins implementing HashDumper may call their own extract_keys method to extract selected keys from a hash and return a string suitable for injecting into Perl code. They may also call the hash_as_string method to do the same for an entire hash.
METHODS
extract_keys
my $string = $plugin->extract_keys($name, \%hash, @keys);
eval "%new_hash = ($string);";This combines extract_keys_as_hash and hash_as_string. It constructs a string of properly quoted keys and values from selected keys in a hash. (Note that \%hash is a reference, but @keys is not.) The $name is used only in a log_debug message.
If any key has no value (or its value is an empty hash or array ref) it will be omitted from the list. If all keys are omitted, the empty string is returned. Otherwise, the result always ends with a comma.
extract_keys_as_hash
my $hashref = $plugin->extract_keys_as_hash($name, \%hash, @keys);This constructs a hashref from from selected keys in a hash. (Note that \%hash is a reference, but @keys is not.) The $name is used only in a log_debug message.
If any key has no value (or its value is an empty hash or array ref) it will be omitted from the new hashref. If all keys are omitted, an empty hashref is returned.
hash_as_string
my $string = $plugin->hash_as_string(\%hash);
eval "%new_hash = ($string);";This constructs a string of properly quoted keys and values from a hash. If the hash is empty, the empty string will be returned. Otherwise, the result always ends with a comma.
