Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter - Metadata about a parameter for a Policy.
A provider of validation and parsing of parameter values and metadata about the parameter.
This is considered to be a public class. Any changes to its interface will go through a deprecation cycle.
get_name()
Return the name of the parameter. This is the key that will be looked for in the .perlcriticrc.
get_description()
Return an explanation of the significance of the parameter, as provided by the developer of the policy.
get_default_string()
Return a representation of the default value of this parameter as it would appear if it was specified in a .perlcriticrc file.
parse_and_validate_config_value( $parser, $config )
Extract the configuration value for this parameter from the overall configuration and initialize the policy based upon it.
generate_full_description()
Produce a more complete explanation of the significance of this parameter than the value returned by get_description().
If no description can be derived, returns the empty string.
Note that the result may contain multiple lines.
to_formatted_string( $format )
Generate a string representation of this parameter, based upon the format.
The format is a combination of literal and escape characters similar to the way sprintf works. If you want to know the specific formatting capabilities, look at String::Format. Valid escape characters are:
sprintf
%n
The name of the parameter.
%d
The description, as supplied by the programmer.
%D
The default value, in a parsable form.
%f
The full description, which is an extension of the value returned by %d. Takes a parameter of a prefix for the beginning of each line.
