NAME

Smart::Dispatch::Match - an entry in a dispatch table

DESCRIPTION

Smart::Dispatch::Match is a Moose class. (Well, Moo actually, but close enough.)

Constructor

  • new(%attributes)

    Create a new entry.

Attributes

  • test

    is 'ro', required.

  • dispatch

    is 'ro', isa 'CodeRef', predicate has_dispatch.

  • value

    is 'ro', predicate has_value.

  • note

    is 'ro', isa 'Str'.

  • is_failover

    is 'ro', isa 'Bool', required, default false.

  • is_unconditional

    is 'ro', isa 'Bool', required, default false.

Methods

  • value_matches($value)

    Perform a smart match between $value and the test attribute.

  • conduct_dispatch(@args)

    If the Match object has a dispatch coderef, then calls it, passing @args as arguments, and passing through the return value.

    Else if the Match object has a value, just returns it.

    Otherwise returns nothing.

  • bitflags

    Returns a number representing what sort of match this is (conditional, failover, etc), suitable for bitwise operations with the constants defined by this module.

Constants

  • FLAG_HAS_VALUE

  • FLAG_HAS_DISPATCH

  • FLAG_IS_FAILOVER

  • FLAG_IS_UNCONDITIONAL

Overloads

Smart::Dispatch::Match overloads various operations. (See overload.)

  • code derefernce &{} - conduct_dispatch.

  • smart match ~~ - value_matches.
