NAME

Google::RestApi::SheetsApi4::RangeGroup::Iterator - An iterator for a group of Ranges.

DESCRIPTION

A RangeGroup::Iterator is used to iterate through a range group, returning a range group of cells, one group at a time.

Iterating over a range group assumes the range group is made up of a series of ranges that implement a 'cell' subroutine. This 'cell' routine is called on each iteration to return a Cell object that represents that iteration at a particular offset. The offset increases for each iteration.

See the description and synopsis at Google::RestApi::SheetsApi4.

SUBROUTINES

new(range => <Range>, dim => <dimension>, by => <int>);

Creates a new Iterator object for the given range group.

 range_group: The parent range group for this iterator.
 by: The number of cells to skip between each iteration. Defaults to 1.
 from: The offset from which to start the iteration. Defaults to 0.
 to: The offset to stop the iteration. No default.

'by' is used to allow you to only return, say, every second cell in the iteration ('by' = '2').

If you don't specify a 'to' then you will need to have a method to end the iteration yourself (e.g. 'last if cell value eq ""') or you will iterate off the end of the sheet and get a 403 back.

You would not normally call this directly, you'd use the RangeGroup::iterator method to create the iterator object for you.

iterate();

Return the next group of cells in the iteration sequence.

next();

An alias for iterate().

range_group();

Returns the RangeGroup object for this iterator.

spreadsheet();

Returns the Spreadsheet object for this iterator.
