NAME

Data::Freq::Field - Controls counting with Data::Freq at each level

VERSION

Version 0.03

METHODS

new

Usage:

Data::Freq::Field->new({
    type    => 'text' , # { 'text' | 'number' | 'date' }
    sort    => 'count', # { 'value' | 'count' | 'first' | 'last' }
    order   => 'desc' , # { 'asc' | 'desc' }
    pos     => 0      , # { 0 | 1 | 2 | -1 | -2 | .. | [0, 1, 2] | .. }
    key     => 'mykey', # { any key(s) for input hash refs }
    convert => sub {...},
});

Constructs a field object.

See "field specification" in Data::Freq for details.

evaluate_record

Usage:

my $field = Data::Freq::Field->new(...);
my $record = Data::Freq::Record->new(...);
my $normalized_text = $field->evaluate_record($record);

Evaluates an input record as a normalized text that will be used for frequency counting, depending on the parameters passed to the new() method.

This is intended to be an internal method for Data::Freq.

select_nodes

Usage:

my $raw_node_list = [values %{$parent_node->children}];
my $sorted_node_list = $field->select_nodes($raw_node_list);

Sorts and reduces a list of nodes (Data::Freq::Node) at the corresponding depth in the frequency tree, depending on the parameters passed to the new() method.

This is intended to be an internal method for Data::Freq.
