DESCRIPTION

XML::Loy::ActivityStreams is an extension to XML::Loy::Atom and provides additional functionality for the work with Atom ActivityStreams.

This module is an early release! There may be significant changes in the future.

METHODS

XML::Loy::ActivityStreams inherits all methods from XML::Loy and implements the following new ones.

actor

  my $person = $atom->new_person(
    name => 'Bender',
    uri  => 'acct:bender@example.org'
  );
  my $actor = $atom->actor($person);

  print $atom->actor->at('name')->text;

Sets the actor of the ActivityStreams object or returns it. Accepts a person construct (see new_person) or the parameters accepted by new_person.

verb

  $atom->verb('follow');
  print $atom->verb;

Sets the verb of the ActivityStreams object or returns it. Accepts a verb string. Relative verbs will be prefixed with the ActivityStreams namespace.

object

  $atom->object(
    'object-type' => 'person',
    'displayName' => 'Leela'
  );
  print $atom->object->at('object-type')->text;

Sets object information to the ActivityStreams object or returns it. Accepts a hash with various parameters depending on the object's type. The object's type is given by the object-type parameter. Relative object types will be prefixed with the ActivityStreams namespace.

target

  $atom->target(
    'object-type' => 'robot',
    'displayName' => 'Bender'
  );
  print $atom->target->at('object-type')->text;

Sets target information to the ActivityStreams object or returns it. Accepts a hash with various parameters depending on the target's type. The target's type is given by the object-type parameter. Relative object types will be prefixed with the ActivityStreams namespace.
