NAME

Data::Visitor::Lite - an easy implementation of Data::Visitor::Callback

SYNOPSIS

    use Data::Visitor::Lite;
    my $visitor = Data::Visitor::Lite->new(@replacers);

    my $value = $visitor->visit({ 
      # some structure
    });

DESCRIPTION

Data::Visitor::Lite is an easy implementation of Data::Visitor::Callback

new(@replacers)

this is a constructor of Data::Visitor::Lite.

    my $visitor = Data::Visitor::Lite->new(
        [   -implements => ['to_plain_object'] =>
                sub { $_[0]->to_plain_object }
        ],
        [ -instance => 'Some::SuperClass' => sub { $_[0]->encode_to_utf8 } ]
        [ $replacer_type => $converter ]
    );
    #or

    my $visitor2 = Data::Visitor::Lite->new(sub{
        # callback all node of the structure
    });
    my $value = $visitor->visit({ something });

replacer type

Data::Visitor::Lite has many expressions to make replacer which is applied only specified data type.

-implements

If you want to convert only the objects that implements 'to_plain_object', you can write just following :

    my $visitor = Data::Visitor::Lite->new(
        [   -implements => ['to_plain_object'] => sub {
                return $_[0]->to_plain_object;
                }
        ]
    );

it means it is easy to convert structures using duck typing.

-instance

"-instance" replacer type is able to create a converter for all instances of some class in the recursive structure.

    my $visitor = Data::Visitor::Lite->new(
        [ -instance => 'Person' => sub{ $_[0]->nickname }]
    );

    $visitor->visit({
        master => Employer->new({ nickname => 'Kenji'}),
        slave  => Employee->new({ nickname => 'Daichi'});
    });

    # { master => "Kenji", slave => 'Daichi'}

-value

"-value" means not a reference and/or blessed object.

-hashkey

"-hashkey" means key string of the hash reference in the structure.

-string

"-string" means hash keys and all string value in the structure.

-object

"-object" means a reference and/or blessed object

other types

the origin of other replace types is Data::Util.( e.g. glob_ref , scalar_ref, invocant , number ,integer and so on )
