NAME

Test::Stream::Formatter - Namespace for formatters.

EXPERIMENTAL CODE WARNING

This is an experimental release! Test-Stream, and all its components are still in an experimental phase. This dist has been released to cpan in order to allow testers and early adopters the chance to write experimental new tools with it, or to add experimental support for it into old tools.

PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY CONVERT OLD TOOLS YET. This experimental release is very likely to see a lot of code churn. API's may break at any time. Test-Stream should NOT be depended on by any toolchain level tools until the experimental phase is over.

DESCRIPTION

This is the namespace for formatters. This is an empty package.

CREATING FORMATTERS

A formatter is any package or object with a write($event, $num) method.

    package Test::Stream::Formatter::Foo;
    use strict;
    use warnings;

    sub write {
        my $self_or_class = shift;
        my ($event, $assert_num) = @_;
        ...
    }

    1;

The write method is a method, so it either gets a class or instance. The 2 arguments are the $event object it should record, and the $assert_num which is the number of the current assertion (ok), or the last assertion if this even is not itself an assertion. The assertion number may be any inyeger 0 or greator, and may be undefined in some cases.
