NAME
HATX - A fluent interface for Hash and Array Transformations
SYNOPSIS
use HATX qw/hatx/;
# Multiple versions of journal.html and projmgmt.html
my $files = [
'journal-v1.0.tar.gz 1201',
'journal-v1.1.tar.gz 1999',
'journal-v1.2.tar.gz 3100',
'projmgmt-v0.1.tar.gz 250',
'projmgmt-v0.2.tar.gz 350'
];
# Declare a helper object
my $max = { journal => '0.0', projmgmt => '0.0' };
# hatx($obj) clones $obj; no clobbering
my $h = hatx($files)
# Internal object becomes equivalent to:
# [ 'journal-v1.0.tar.gz 1201',
# 'journal-v1.1.tar.gz 1999',
# 'journal-v1.2.tar.gz 3100',
# 'projmgmt-v0.1.tar.gz 250',
# 'projmgmt-v0.2.tar.gz 350' ]
# Extract components: file, version, bytes
->map(sub {
$_[0] =~ /(journal|projmgmt)-v(.+).tar.gz\s+(\d+)/;
return [$1, $2, $3]; # e.g. ['journal', '1.0', 1201]
})
# Internal object becomes equivalent to:
# [ ['journal', '1.0', 1201]
# ['journal', '1.1', 1999]
# ['journal', '1.2', 3100]
# ['projmgmt', '0.1', 250]
# ['projmgmt', '0.2', 350] ]
# Accumulate file count and file sizes
->apply(sub {
my ($v, $res) = @_;
$res->{count}++;
$res->{bytes} += $v->[2];
}, my $stats = { count => 0, bytes => 0 })
# Internal object unchanged
# The $stats variable becomes { count => 5, bytes => 6900 }
# Determine the max version of each file, store into $max
->apply(sub {
my ($v, $res) = @_;
my ($file, $ver, $size) = @$v;
if ($ver gt $res->{$file}) { $res->{$file} = $ver }
}, $max)
# Internal object unchanged
# $max variable becomes { journal => '1.2', projmgmt => '0.2' }
# Keep only the max version
->grep(sub {
my ($v, $res) = @_;
my ($file, $ver, $size) = @$v;
return $ver eq $res->{$file};
}, $max)
# Internal object reduced to:
# [ ['journal', '1.2', 3100]
# ['projmgmt', '0.2', 350] ]
;
METHODS
map
Apply the given function to each item in the href/aref.
The given function has the following signature:
fn($k,$v) -> ($k,$v) # Applied to href
fn($v) -> ($v) # Applied to aref
The internal href/aref IS modified.
grep
Apply the given function to each item in the href/aref.
The given function has the following signature:
fn->($k,$v[,@args]) -> BOOLEAN # Applied to hashref
fn->($v[,@args]) -> BOOLEAN # Applied to arrayref
WHERE
fn A function reference that returns a boolean value
$k,$v The key-value pair of a hash
$v An item of an array
@args An optional list of user variables
Items where the fn returns a True value are kept.
sort( $fn )
DESCRIPTION
Sorts contents of arrayref. Hashrefs are unmodified.
ARGUMENTS
$fn - A function reference with prototype ($$). See https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/sort.
EXAMPLES
# Sort descending alphabetically
hatx($aref)->sort(sub ($$) { $_[1] cmp $_[0] });
# Sort ascending numerically
hatx($aref)->sort(sub ($$) { $_[0] <=> $_[1] });
# Sort descending numerically
hatx($aref)->sort(sub ($$) { $_[1] <=> $_[0] });
to_href
Convert internal aref to href using the given function.
$fn->($val) -> ($key, $val)
$fn is a FUNCTIONREF that takes a single value and returns two values
to_aref( $fn [,@args] )
DESCRIPTION
Convert internal hashref to an arrayref.
ARGUMENTS
$fn - A user-provided function reference with signature:
$fn->($hkey, $hval [,@args]) return ($val)
WHERE
$hkey Key of source hashref pair
$hval Value of source hashref pair
@args Optional user variables
$val An element of the target arrayref
@args - Optional arguments that are passed through to $fn
apply
Apply the given function to each item in the href/aref. Arguments can be provided to store results of the function application e.g. finding the max value.
The internal href/aref is not modified.
fn($k,$v,@args) -> ()
fn($v,@args) -> ()
