NAME

Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate - Iterator Result Validation

SYNOPSIS

  use Data::Range::Compare::Stream;
  use Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Array;
  use Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate;
  
  
  my $list=[
    
    # Invalid range 1
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(),

    # Invalid range 2
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(0),
    # Invalid range 3
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(undef,0),
    # Invalid range 4
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(1,0),

    # Valid range 1
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(0,0),

    # Valid range 2
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(1,2),

    # Invalid range 5
    Data::Range::Compare::Stream->new(2,1),
  ];
  
  sub bad_range {
    my ($range)=@_;
    print "Invalid range found\n";
  }
  
  my $it=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Array(range_list=>$list,sorted=>1);
  
  my $valid=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate($it,on_bad_range=>\&bad_range);
  while($valid->has_next) {
    my $result=$valid->get_next;
    print $result,"\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

This class validates result objects returned from iterators that implement Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Base.

How ranges are defined as not valid.

Data::Range::Compare::Stream and all classes that implement have a instance->boolean interface. When the boolean interface returns false the range is considered invalid.

OO Methods

• my $valid=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate($iterator);

• my $valid=new Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Validate($iterator,key=>value);

  Required Arguments:

    $iterator
      # object extends or implements L<Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator::Base>

  Optional Arguments

    on_bad_range=>undef|code_ref
      # Default: undef,  Code ref called with the the invalid range found as an argument.
      

• while($iterator->has_next) { ... }

  Returns true if there is a valid range.

• my $range=$iterator->get_next;

  Returns the next valid range.

• $self->on_bad_range($range);

  This function is called internally when a range is found to be invalid. This function does nothing by default unless on_bad_range=>code_ref has been defined. When on_bad_range is defined the code ref is called with the range as the only argument.
