NAME

XML::Generator::vCard - generate SAX2 events for vCard 3.0

SYNOPSIS

use XML::SAX::Writer;
use XML::Generator::vCard;

my $writer = XML::SAX::Writer->new();
my $driver = XML::Generator::vCard->new(Handler=>$writer);

$driver->parse_files("test.vcf");

DESCRIPTION

Generate SAX2 events for vCard 3.0.

This package supersedes XML::SAXDriver::vCard.

DOCUMENT FORMAT

SAX2 events map to the vCard 3.0 XML DTD draft:

http://xml.coverpages.org/draft-dawson-vcard-xml-dtd-00.txt

The draft itself has since expired but it still seems like a perfectly good place to start from.

PACKAGE METHODS

__PACKAGE__->new(%args)

This method inherits from XML::SAX::Base.

Returns a XML::Generator::vCard object.

OBJECT METHODS

$pkg->parse_files(@files)

Generate SAX2 events for one, or more, vCard files.

Returns true or false.

PRIVATE METHODS

Private methods are documented below in case you need to subclass this package to tweak its output.

$obj->_render_doc(\@vcards)

$obj->_render_card(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_fn(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_n(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_nickname(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_photo(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_bday(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_adrs(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_labels(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_tels(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_emails(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_instantmessaging(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_mailer(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_tz(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_geo(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_org(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_title(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_role(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_logo(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_categories(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_note(Text::vCard)

$self->_render_sound(Text::vCard)

$self->_render_url(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_key(Text::vCard)

$obj->_render_custom(Text::vCard)

By default this method does nothing. It is here to be subclassed.

$obj->_im_services()

Returns a hash ref mapping an instant messaging service type to an XML element. Default is :

{"aim"    => "foaf:aimChatID",
 "yahoo"  => "foaf:yahooChatID",
 "msn"    => "foaf:msnChatID",
 "jabber" => "foaf:JabberID",
 "icq"    => "foaf:icqChatId"}

This is called by the _render_instantmessaging method.

NAMESPACES

This package generates SAX events using the following XML namespaces :

  • vCard

    x-urn:cpan:ascope:xml-generator-vcard#

  • foaf:

    http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/

HOW TO

Filter cards by category

 package MyGenerator;
 use base qw (XML::Generator::vCard);

 sub _render_card {
     my $self = shift;
     my $card = shift;

     my $cats = $vcard->get({"node_type" => 'categories'}) ||
	        $vcard->get({"node_type" => 'category'});

     if (! $cats) {
	 return 1;
     }
     
     if (! grep { $_->value() eq "foo" } split(",",$cats->[0])) {
	 return 1;
     }

     return $self->SUPER::_render_card($vcard);
 }

 package main;

 my $writer = XML::SAX::Writer->new();
 my $parser = MyGenerator->new(Handler=>$writer);

 $parser->parse_files(@ARGV);

Generate SAX events for a custom 'X-*' field

 package MyGenerator;
 use base qw (XML::Generator::vCard);

 sub _render_custom {
   my $self  = shift;
   my $vcard = shift;

   my $custom = $vcard->get({"node_type" => "x-foobar"});
	
   if (! $addresses) {
      next;
   }

   foreach my $foo (@$custom) {
	
      my $types = join(";",$foo->types());

      $self->_pcdata({Name       => "foo:bar",
	   	      Value      => $foo->value(),
		      Attributes => {"{}type"=> {Name  => "type",
						 Value => $types}}
		      });
   }

   return 1;
 }
 
 package main;

 my $writer = XML::SAX::Writer->new();
 my $parser = MyGenerator->new(Handler=>$writer);

 $parser->parse_files(@ARGV);

Add custom namespaces

package MyGenerator;
use base qw (XML::Generator::vCard);

sub namespaces {
    my $self = shift;
    
    my $ns = $self->SUPER::namespaces();
    $ns->{ "foo" } = "x-urn:foo:bar#";

    return $ns;
}

package main;

my $writer = XML::SAX::Writer->new();
my $parser = MyGenerator->new(Handler=>$writer);

$parser->parse_files(@ARGV);

BUGS

vCards containg binary PHOTO images may cause Perl to segfault on Mac OSX and come flavours of Linux (but not FreeBSD.) The source of this problem has been traced, I think, to a regular expression issue in the Perl Text::ParseWords library. A bug report has been filed.

Please report all other bugs via http://rt.cpan.org
