NAME

WebService::Rackspace::CloudFiles::Container - Represent a Cloud Files container

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a container in Cloud Files. It is created by calling new_container or container on a WebService::Rackspace::CloudFiles object.

METHODS

name

Returns the name of the container:

  say 'have container ' . $container->name;

object_count

Returns the total number of objects in the container:

  my $object_count = $container->object_count;

bytes_used

Returns the total number of bytes used by objects in the container:

  my $bytes_used = $container->bytes_used;

objects

Returns a list of objects in the container as WebService::Rackspace::CloudFiles::Object objects. As the API only returns ten thousand objects per request, this module may have to do multiple requests to fetch all the objects in the container. This is exposed by using a Data::Stream::Bulk object. You can also pass in a prefix:

  foreach my $object ($container->objects->all) {
    ...
  }

  my @objects = $container->objects(prefix => 'dir/')->all;

object

This returns a <WebService::Rackspace::CloudFiles::Object> representing an object.

  my $xxx = $container->object( name => 'XXX' );
  my $yyy = $container->object( name => 'YYY', content_type => 'text/plain' );

delete

Deletes the container, which should be empty:

  $container->delete;
