NAME
Setup::File::Line - Insert/delete a line in a file (with undo support)
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of Setup::File::Line (from Perl distribution Setup-File-Line), released on 2021-08-02.
DESCRIPTION
Experimental.
FUNCTIONS
setup_file_line
Usage:
setup_file_line(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]Insert/delete a line in a file (with undo support).
- 1. On do (and when
should_existis true): will insert a specified line to file at the end. There's an option to add line at the top instead (settop_styleto true). Will not add line if line already exists. There's an option to do case-insensitive matching when checking for existence of line.
Unfixable state: file does not exist or not a regular file (directory and symlink included) or not open-able for read/write.
Fixed state: file exists, line already exists in file.
Fixable state: file exists, line doesn't exist.
- 1. On do (and when
should_existis false): will remove specified line from the file. All occurence of the line will be removed.
Unfixable state: file does not exist or not a regular file (directory and symlink included) or not open-able for read/write.
Fixed state: file exists, line already does not exist in file.
Fixable state: file exists, line exists in file.
Note that unlike Setup::File::TextFragment's setup_text_fragment, this routine does save/restore original file content on undo. Instead, this routine will delete all lines with same content when undoing an add, and adding a line when undoing a delete. This means the file might not be restored to an identical previous content upon undo.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
This function is idempotent (repeated invocations with same arguments has the same effect as single invocation). This function supports transactions.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
case_insensitive => bool
line_content* => str
Line (without the newline; newline will be stripped first).
path* => str
Path to file.
should_exist => bool (default: 1)
Whether line should exist.
top_style => bool
If set to true, will insert at the top of file instead of at the end.
Special arguments:
-tx_action => str
For more information on transaction, see L<Rinci::Transaction>.
-tx_action_id => str
For more information on transaction, see L<Rinci::Transaction>.
-tx_recovery => str
For more information on transaction, see L<Rinci::Transaction>.
-tx_rollback => str
For more information on transaction, see L<Rinci::Transaction>.
-tx_v => str
For more information on transaction, see L<Rinci::Transaction>.
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)
