NAME

Reflexive::Role::StreamFiltering - Provides a composable behavior for Reflex::Streams to use POE::Filters

VERSION

version 1.103450

DESCRIPTION

Reflexive::Role::StreamFiltering provides a composable behavior that takes and uses a POE::Filter instance to filter inbound and outbound data similar to a POE::Wheel object. But this class is much much simpler. The goal is to merely shim in a POE::Filter instance and to do it as unobtrusively as possible. The same filter is used for both inbound and outbound filtering.

PUBLIC_ATTRIBUTES

input_filter

is: bare, isa: POE::Filter, default: POE::Filter::Stream

This attribute is mostly to be provided at construction of the Stream. If none is provided then POE::Filter::Stream (which is just a passthrough) is used.

Internally, the following handles are provided:

{
    'filter_get' => 'get_one',
    'filter_start' => 'get_one_start',
}

Incidentially, only the newer POE::Filter get_one_start/get_one interace is supported.

output_filter

is: bare, isa: POE::Filter, default: POE::Filter::Stream

Like the input_filter attribute, this is to be provided at construction time of the Stream. If an output_filter is not provided, POE::Filter::Stream is used.

The following handles are provided:

{
    'filter_put' => 'put'
}

PUBLIC_METHODS

put

(Any)

This method is around advised to run the provided data through the fliter before passing it along to the original method if the filter returns multiple filtered chunks then each chunk will get its own method call.

PROTECTED_METHODS

on_data

(Dict[data => Any])

on_data is the advised to intercept data events. Data is passed through the ilter via get_one_start. Then get_one is called until no more filtered chunks are returned. Each filtered chunk is then delievered via the emitted data event which is reemitted.
