NAME

Perinci::Examples::ArgsAs - Demonstrate various values of `args_as` function metadata property

VERSION

This document describes version 0.78 of Perinci::Examples::ArgsAs (from Perl distribution Perinci-Examples), released on 2017-01-12.

DESCRIPTION

The functions in this package can test:

  • argument passing;

  • whether module POD is rendered correctly;

  • whether examples (in module POD or CLI help) are rendered correctly;

FUNCTIONS

args_as_array($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Regular perl subs use this.

Examples:

  • Without the optional arg3:

     args_as_array("abc", 10); # -> [200, "OK", ["abc", 10], {}]
  • With the optional arg3:

     args_as_array("def", 20, 0.5); # -> [200, "OK", ["def", 20, 0.5], {}]

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • $arg1* => str

  • $arg2* => int

  • $arg3 => float

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

args_as_arrayref([$arg1, $arg2, $arg3]) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Alternative to `array` to avoid copying.

Examples:

  • Without the optional arg3:

     args_as_arrayref(["abc", 10]); # -> [200, "OK", [["abc", 10]], {}]
  • With the optional arg3:

     args_as_arrayref(["def", 20, 0.5]); # -> [200, "OK", [["def", 20, 0.5]], {}]

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • $arg1* => str

  • $arg2* => int

  • $arg3 => float

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

args_as_hash(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

This is the default.

Examples:

  • Without the optional arg3:

     args_as_hash(arg1 => "abc", arg2 => 10); # -> [200, "OK", ["arg1", "abc", "arg2", 10], {}]
  • With the optional arg3:

     args_as_hash(arg1 => "def", arg2 => 20, arg3 => 0.5);

    Result:

     [200, "OK", ["arg3", 0.5, "arg2", 20, "arg1", "def"], {}]

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • arg1* => str

Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

args_as_hashref(\%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Alternative to `hash` to avoid copying.

Examples:

  • Without the optional arg3:

     args_as_hashref({ arg1 => "abc", arg2 => 10 }); # -> [200, "OK", [{ arg1 => "abc", arg2 => 10 }], {}]
  • With the optional arg3:

     args_as_hashref({ arg1 => "def", arg2 => 20, arg3 => 0.5 });

    Result:

     [200, "OK", [{ arg1 => "def", arg2 => 20, arg3 => 0.5 }], {}]

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • arg1* => str

  • arg2* => int

  • arg3 => float
