DESCRIPTION

The Alert class wraps the concept of a WeatherBug alert. Alerts are retrieved with the Weather::Bug::getalerts method, passing the zip code of interest.

INTERFACE

Factory Methods

Since the Alert object will almost always be created from an XML stream, this class provides a method for constructing a Alert object from the XML responses.

from_xml

This method constructs a Weather::Bug::Alert object from the XML returned by the WeatherBug getalert API call. It is a class method that takes an XML::LibXML node object that points to the aws:alert node.

The method constructs a new Weather::Bug::Alert object from this XML node.

Accessor Methods

The Alert object provides accessor methods for the following fields:

type

This method returns the type of the alert. The text returned is a high-level description of the type of alert. (For example, Air Quality Alert)

title

This method returns the alert itself.

DIAGNOSTICS

None.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Weather::Bug requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Moose, XML::LibXML.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
