NAME
DataFlow::ProcWrapper - Wrapper around a processor
VERSION
version 1.121830
SYNOPSIS
use DataFlow::ProcWrapper;
use DataFlow::Item;
my $wrapper = DataFlow::ProcWrapper->new( wraps => sub { lc } );
my $item = DataFlow::Item->itemize( 'default', 'WAKAWAKAWAKA' );
my @result = $wrapper->process($item);
# $result[0]->get_data('default') equals to 'wakawakawaka'
DESCRIPTION
This class DataFlow::ProcWrapper
consumes the DataFlow::Role::Processor role, but this is not a "common" processor and it should not be used as such. Actually, it is supposed to be used internally by DataFlow alone, so in theory, if not in practice, we should be able to ignore its existence.
ProcWrapper
will, as the name suggests, wraps around a processor (read a Proc, a DataFlow, a naked sub or a named processor), and provides a layer of control on the input and output channels.
ATTRIBUTES
input_chan
Name of the input channel. The DataFlow::Item may carry data in distinct "channels", and here we can select which channel we will take the data from. If not specified, it will default to the literal string 'default'
.
output_chan
Similarly, the output channel's name. If not specified, it will default to the same channel used for input.
METHODS
process
This works like the regular process()
method in a processor, except that it expects to receive an object of the type DataFlow::Item.
Additionaly, one can pass a random scalar as argument, and add a second argument that evaluates to a true value, and the scalar argument will be automagically "boxed" into a DataFlow::Item
object.
Once the data is within a DataFlow::Item
, data will be pulled from the specified channel, will call the wrapped processor's process()
method.
It will always return an array with one or more elements, all of them of the DataFlow::Item
type.
