NAME

ArrayDataRole::Source::Iterator - Get array data from an iterator

VERSION

This document describes version 0.009 of ArrayDataRole::Source::Iterator (from Perl distribution ArrayDataRoles-Standard), released on 2024-01-15.

SYNOPSIS

 package ArrayData::YourArray;
 use Role::Tiny::With;
 with 'ArrayDataRole::Source::Iterator';

 sub new {
     my $class = shift;
     $class->_new(
         gen_iterator => sub {
             return sub {
                 ...
             };
         },
     );
 }

DESCRIPTION

This role retrieves elements from a simplistic iterator (a coderef). When called, the iterator must return a non-undef element or undef to signal that all elements have been iterated.

reset_iterator() will regenerate a new iterator.

Note: get_item_at_pos() and has_item_at_pos() are slow (O(n) in worst case) because they iterate. Caching might be added in the future to speed this up.

ROLES MIXED IN

ArrayDataRole::Spec::Basic

METHODS

_new

Create object. This should be called by a consumer's new. Usage:

 my $ary = $CLASS->_new(%args);

Arguments:

• gen_iterator

  Coderef. Required. Must return another coderef which is the iterator.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
