DESCRIPTION

WWW::Phanfare::Class creates an object tree for Phanfare site. Each Phanfare object can be referred to by name or by object reference.

BEFORE GETTING STARTED

Users of this module must possess own Phanfare account and API key.

TREE HIERARKI

Class is the top object and it has one Account to access data using Phanfare API.

The tree hierarki is as follows:

    An Account has a nuber of Sites.
A Site has a number of Years.
A Year has a number of Albums.
An Album has a number of Sections.
A Section has a number of Renditions.
A Rendition has a number of Images.

NAME CLASH

In Phanfare it's possible for multiple objects to have same name. For example multi albums can have same name. In such cases WWW::Phanfare::Class will append the id on the names that are not uniq. Example:

Kids Photos
Family Vacation.12345678
Family Vacation.12345789

METHODS

Each object implements the following methods.

parent

$object->parent();

The parent object.

names

my @childrennames = $object->names;

The names of child objects. For example for an Album it will return the names of all sections.

list

my @children_objects = $object->list;

All child objects.

get($name)

my $child = $object->get($name);
my $child = $object->$name;

Access child object by name. Append ID when there is a name clash.

If no ID is appended on name clash, then a random matching object is returned.

add($name, $value?, $date?)

# Create Branch Node
$object->add($name);

# Create Leaf Node
$object->add($name, $value);

# Create Image with Date
$object->add($name, $value, $date);

Create a new child object. When creating a Branch, such as for example an Album, no value must be set.

For Images, a value can be provided, which is the raw image data. Date may be optionally provided as well.

remove($name)

$object->remove($name);

Remove a child object by name. For certain objects it removes all child objects recursive. For example when removing an Album, it will also remove all Sections and Images belonging to Album.

Removing a Year is not possible as long as there are Albums in the Year. The Year will be automatically remove when all Albums in the Year have been removed.

Site and Account cannot be removed.

ATTRIBUTES

Account. Album, Section and Image objects have attributes.

For classes with attributes, the follow addition attribute accessors are available to the object.

attributes

@attribute_names = $object->attributes;

List of names of attributes.

setattributes($hashreference)

$object->setattributes({
    name1 => $value1,
    name2 => $value2,
    ...   => ...,
});

Set values of multiple attributes.

attribute($name, $value?)

$object->attribute( $name => $value );
$value = $object->attribute( $name );

Read or write an attribute value.

VALUE

Image raw data is uploaded or downloaded with value accessor. No other object have value.

value($data?)

$image = slurp 'filename.jpg';
$object->value( $image );
$image = $object->value;

Get or set image data.

Images can only be upload in Full rendition. All other renditions are for download only.

DATES

Dates follow same formats as on Phanfare. Example:

2009-09-15T00:00:00

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS

WWW::Phanfare::API is used for communication with Phanfare Rest/XML API. Results of queries are each cached for 30 seconds to limit network traffic and to improve performance.
