CAD::Firemen::Change - Object to represant the changes of an option

VERSION

version 0.6.2

DESCRIPTION

Create a new object of CAD::Firemen::Change with

my $change = new CAD::Firemen::Change("name" => "OPTION_NAME");

afterwards, set the old and new value (or specify them already at the constructor with ("valueOld" => "OLD_VALUE", "valueNew" => "NEW_VALUE"))

$change->setValueOld("OLD_VALUE"); $change->setValueNew("NEW_VALUE");

To evaluate the changes between old and new value, just call

my $changeType = $change->evalChange();

which returns the type of the change as one of the CAD::Firemen::Change::Type. To get the color of which should be used to print the change, use

$change->highlightColor();

To evaluate the change type, you can get it with

$change->changeType();
