TaskPipe::Task - the class which all TaskPipe tasks should inherit from
Inherit from this class when creating new tasks. Your child task should contain an action subroutine, which returns either:
action
An arrayref of results
A TaskPipe::Iterator of results. (See the TaskPipe::Iterator manpage for more information
You should write your task in the following format:
package TaskPipe::Task_MyTaskName use Moose; extends 'TaskPipe::Task'; sub action { my ($self) = @_; # access plan parameters in here # via $self->param my $some_val = $self->param->{some_param}; # ... do something with $some_val ... # ... return \@results; } __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; 1;
Then you reference it in your plan via something like:
# (in tree format): task: _name: MyTaskName some_param: 46 pipe_to: # ...
Note that if you are creating a task to scrape a website, it is recommended to inherit from TaskPipe::Task_Scrape instead of inheriting from TaskPipe::Task directly. See TaskPipe::Task_Scrape for more information
See the other tasks that are provided to make sure you are not creating a task that exists already:
TaskPipe::Task_Scrape TaskPipe::Task_Record TaskPipe::Task_SourceFromDB TaskPipe::Task_SourceFromFile
