NAME

Finance::Bank::Cahoot::CredentialsProvider::ReadLine - Console-based credentials provider

SYNOPSIS

my $credentials =  Finance::Bank::Cahoot::CredentialsProvider::ReadLine->new(
   account => '12345678', username => 'acmeuser',
   password_prompt => 'Enter character %d of your password: '
);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Term::ReadLine implementation of a credentials provider for console entry of credentials. Each credentials method can be overridden by a constant parameter to reduce the amount of console interaction with the user in the case of less security sensitive data such as a username. In addition to the value overrides, the text prompt for each readline method can also be overridden.

METHODS

new

Create a new instance of the credentials provider.

credentials is an array ref of all the credentials types available via the credentials provider.

options is a hash ref of optional default values and prompts for each credential. Prompts are provided in options using keys of the form credential_prompt.

my $credentials =  Finance::Bank::Cahoot::CredentialsProvider::ReadLine->new(
   account => '12345678', username => 'acmeuser',
   password_prompt => 'Enter character %d of your password: '
);

get

Returns a credential value whose name is passed as the first parameter. An optional character offset (1 is the first character) may also be provided.

my $password_char = $provider->password(5);
