NAME

Webservice::InterMine::ResultIterator - An object for iterating through result rows

SYNOPSIS

my $results = $query->result_iterator;
while (<$results>) {
  # do something with $_
}

DESCRIPTION

This package provides objects for iterating through result sets, where those result sets are rows from a database query.

CONSTRUCTION ARGUMENTS

The following arguments are required when constructing a new ResultIterator.

  • url: ro, URI|Str

    The url of the resource to request. EG:

    http://some.mine.org/path/to/resource

  • parameters: ro, HashRef[Str], default: {}

    The parameters for this request.

  • authorization: ro, Str

    A base 64 encoded string to use as the authorization header for basic authentication.

  • request_format: ro, RequestFormat

    The format that will be actually requested from the server.

  • row_parser: ro, Webservice::InterMine::Parser

    The parser to return a formatted row of data.

ATTRIBUTES

Other properties of the object. These attributes are derived from the original construction arguments.

  • user_agent: ro, Str,

    A label to use to identify this request to the server. Defaults to "Webservice::InterMine-${version}"

  • connection: ro, Net::HTTP

    A connection to the source of results

  • content: ro, Glob

    A Glob with content. Can be a glob linked to any file-handle or other IO. This can be used to supply results for testing.

  • error_code: ro, HTTP Status Code

    The status code of the request. Once the request has been made and the headers parsed, the error code is available to be read.

  • error_message: ro, Str

    The error message from the request, if any.

  • headers: ro, HashRef

    The headers from the request.

  • content_is_binary: ro, Bool

    Whether or not the content should be treated as binary data, for example if it is gzipped.

  • is_chunked: ro, Bool

    Whether or not the results are returned in chunked transfer encoding.

  • chunk_bytes_left: rw, Num

    A number referring to the bytes left in the current chunk.

  • is_finished: ro, Bool

    Whether or not all the available results have been read.

######## ERROR CHECKING METHODS

get_all

Return all rows from the result set.

Returns a list of rows in list context, or an arrayref of rows in scalar context.

METHODS - RESULTS HANDLING (INTERNAL)

[Str] read_line
