#################################################################################DESCRIPTION
This Moose::Role is mostly written as a demonstration module for Data::Walk::Extracted. Both Data::Dumper - Dumper and YAML - Dump functions are more mature than the printing function included here.
USE
This is a Moose::Role specifically designed to be used with Data::Walk::Extracted It can be combined traditionaly to the ~::Extracted class using Moose::Roles or for information on how to join this role to Data::Walk::Extracted at run time see Moose::Util or MooseX::ShortCut::BuildInstance for more information.
Attributes
Data passed to ->new when creating an instance. For modification of these attributes see Methods. The ->new function will either accept fat comma lists or a complete hash ref that has the possible attributes as the top keys. Additionally some attributes that have all the following methods; get_$attribute, set_$attribute, has_$attribute, and clear_$attribute, can be passed to print_data and will be adjusted for just the run of that method call. These are called 'one shot' attributes. The class and each role (where applicable) in this package have a list of supported one shot attributes .
match_highlighting
Definition: this determines if a comments string is added after each printed row that indicates how the 'print_ref' matches the 'match_ref'.
Default True (1)
Range This is a Boolean data type and generally accepts 1 or 0
to_string
Definition: this determines whether the output is sent to STDOUT or coallated into a final string and sent as a result of print_data .
Default True (1)
Range This is a Boolean data type and generally accepts 1 or 0

Data::Walk::Extracted - Attributes
Methods
print_data( $arg_ref|%args|$data_ref )
Definition: this is the method used to print a data reference
Accepts: either a single data reference or named arguments in a fat comma list or hashref
named variable option - if data comes in a fat comma list or as a hash ref and the keys include a 'print_ref' key then the list is processed as follows.
print_ref - this is the data reference that should be printed in a perlish way - Required
match_ref - this is a reference used to compare against the 'print_ref' - Optional
[attribute name] - attribute names are accepted with temporary attribute settings. These settings are temporarily set for a single "print_data" call and then the original attribute values are restored. For this to work the the attribute must meet the necessary criteria. These attributes can include all attributes active for the constructed class not just this role.
single variable option - if only one data_ref is sent and it fails the test for "exists $data_ref->{print_ref}" then the program will attempt to name it as print_ref => $data_ref and then process the data as a fat comma list.
Returns: 1 (And prints out the data ref) or a string - see to_string
set_match_highlighting( $bool )
Definition: this is a way to change the match_highlighting attribute
Accepts: a Boolean value
Returns: ''
get_match_highlighting
Definition: this is a way to view the state of the match_highlighting attribute
Accepts: nothing
Returns: The current 'match_highlighting' state
has_match_highlighting
Definition: this is a way to know if the match_highlighting attribute is active
Accepts: nothing
Returns: 1 if the attribute is active (not just if it == 1)
clear_match_highlighting
Definition: this clears the match_highlighting attribute
Accepts: nothing
Returns: '' (always successful)
set_to_string( $bool )
Definition: this is a way to change the to_string attribute
Accepts: a Boolean value
Returns: ''
get_to_string
Definition: this is a way to view the state of the to_string attribute
Accepts: nothing
Returns: The current 'to_string' state
has_to_string
Definition: this is a way to know if the to_string attribute is active
Accepts: nothing
Returns: 1 if the attribute is active (not just if it == 1)
clear_to_string
Definition: this clears the to_string attribute
Accepts: nothing
Returns: '' (always successful)
Caveat utilitor
Supported Node types
- ARRAY
- HASH
- SCALAR
- UNDEF
Supported one shot attributes
- match_highlighting
- to_string
Printing for skipped nodes
Data::Walk::Extracted allows for some nodes to be skipped. When a node is skipped the print_data function prints the scalar (perl pointer description) of that node.
SUPPORT
TODO
1. Support printing Objects / Instances
2. Support printing CodeRefs
3. Support REF types
