Perinci::Sub::GetArgs::Array - Get subroutine arguments (%args) from array
This document describes version 0.170 of Perinci::Sub::GetArgs::Array (from Perl distribution Perinci-Sub-GetArgs-Array), released on 2019-04-15.
use Perinci::Sub::GetArgs::Array; my $res = get_args_from_array(array=>\@ary, meta=>$meta, ...);
This module provides get_args_from_array(). This module is used by, among others, Perinci::Sub::GetArgs::Argv.
Usage:
get_args_from_array(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
Get subroutine arguments (%args) from array.
Using information in metadata's args property (particularly the pos and slurpy arg type clauses), extract arguments from an array into a hash \%args, suitable for passing into subs.
args
pos
slurpy
\%args
Example:
my $meta = { v => 1.1, summary => 'Multiply 2 numbers (a & b)', args => { a => {schema=>'num*', pos=>0}, b => {schema=>'num*', pos=>1}, } }
then get_args_from_array(array=>[2, 3], meta=>$meta) will produce:
get_args_from_array(array=>[2, 3], meta=>$meta)
[200, "OK", {a=>2, b=>3}]
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
allow_extra_elems => bool (default: 0)
Allow extra/unassigned elements in array.
If set to 1, then if there are array elements unassigned to one of the arguments (due to missing pos, for example), instead of generating an error, the function will just ignore them.
array* => array
NOTE: array will be modified/emptied (elements will be taken from the array as they are put into the resulting args). Copy your array first if you want to preserve its content.
meta* => hash
meta_is_normalized => bool (default: 0)
Can be set to 1 if your metadata is normalized, to avoid duplicate effort.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
Return value: (any)
