NAME

Net::EtcDv2::Node - A object oriented Perl module to stat entries in an EtcD v2 API key/value store

VERSION

Version 0.0.3

SYNOPSIS

use feature say;
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::EtcDv2::EntryStat;

# create an un-authenticated object for an etcd running on localhost on
# port 2379
my $foo = Net::EtcDv2::EntryStat->new(
    'host' => "http://localhost",
    'port' => 2379
);

my $stat_struct = $foo->stat('/myDir');
say Dumper $stat_struct;

# outputs the following if '/myDir' exists and is a directory
# $VAR1 = {
#   'type' => 'dir',
#   'uri' => 'http://localhost:2379/myDir',
#   'ace' => '*:POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE',
#   'entryId' => 'cdf818194f3b8d32:23'
# };
#
# The ACE is the access allowed methods and and origin for that path, and
# the 'entryId' is made up from the cluster ID and the etcd item index ID

DESCRIPTION

The Net::EtcDv2::EntryStat module is an internal module to the Net::EtcDv2 distribution. It allows code to stat key/value entries in an etcd cluster.

METHODS

new

The constructor for the class. For now, we only support HTTP basic authentication.

If the DEBUG environment variable is set, the class will emit debugging output on STDERR.

Parameters:

- class, SCALAR: The class name
- args,  HASH:   A hash of named parameters:
  - host:        the hostname of the etcd endpoint
  - port:        the port number of the etcd endpoint
  - user:        the username authorized for the etcd environment
  - password:    the password for the user authorized for the etcd
                 environment

stat

This method takes a path and gathers information about the etcd object. If the item doesn't exist, it throws an exception (error code 6).

Parameters:

- self, SCALAR REF: the object reference
- path, SCALAR:     the path segment of the URI to get info for

Return type:

- stat_struct: HASH: the stat information for the path

Exceptions:

If the object is not found (HTTP 404), the method will emit error ENXIO

ls

This method, like stat, takes a path and gathers information about the etcd object. If the item doesn't exist, it throws an exception (error code 6).

Unlike stat, it only returns in the JSON response the node name, type, and whether it has any children. In addition, while stat only returns specific information about the named node, ls can do recursive listing, and if the item requested was a directory, it's immediate children; any child items are nested in the response.

Parameters:

- self, SCALAR REF: the object reference
- path, SCALAR:     the path segment of the URI to get info for
- recursive, SCALAR boolean [OPTIONAL]: Whether to recursively descend into
                                        sub directories

Return type:

- status, SCALAR boolean: Whether the listing was successful or not
- stat_struct: HASH: the stat information for the path

Exceptions:

If the object is not found (HTTP 404), the method will emit error ENXIO
