=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class implements the Webmention protocol, as defined by the W3C and
the IndieWeb community. (See L<this article by Chris
Aldrich|https://alistapart.com/article/webmentions-enabling-better-
communication-on-the-internet/> for an excellent high-level summary of
Webmention and its applications.)
An object of this class represents a single webmention, with target and
source URLs. It can verify itself, determining whether or not the
document found at the source URL does indeed mention the target URL.
It can also use IndieWeb algorithms to attempt identification of the
source document's author, and to provide a short summary of that
document's content, using Microformats2 metadata when available.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 Class Methods
=head3 new
$wm = Web::Mention->new(
source => $source_url,
target => $target_url,
);
Basic constructor. The B<source> and B<target> URLs are both required
arguments. Either one can either be a L<URI> object, or a valid URL
string.
Per the Webmention protocol, the B<source> URL represents the location
of the document that made the mention described here, and B<target>
describes the location of the document that got mentioned. The two
arguments cannot refer to the same URL (disregarding the C<#fragment>
part of either, if present).
=head3 new_from_html
@wms = Web::Mention->new_from_html(
source => $source_url,
html => $html,
);
Convenience batch-construtor that returns a (possibly empty) I<list> of
Web::Mention objects based on the single source URL (or I<URI> object)
that you pass in, as well as a string containing HTML from which we can
extract zero or more target URLs. These extracted URLs include the
C<href> attribute value of every E<lt>aE<gt> tag in the provided HTML.
Note that (as with all this class's constructors) this method won't
proceed to actually send the generated webmentions; that step remains
yours to take. (See L<"send">.)
=head3 new_from_json
$wm = Web::Mention->new_from_json( $json );
Returns a new webmention based on the JSON output of L<"as_json">.
=head3 new_from_request
$wm = Web::Mention->new_from_request( $request_object );
Convenience constructor that looks into the given web-request object for
B<source> and B<target> parameters, and attempts to build a new
Web::Mention object out of them.
The object must provide a C<param( $param_name )> method that returns
the value of the named HTTP parameter. So it could be a
L<Catalyst::Request> object or a L<Mojo::Message::Request> object, for
example.
Throws an exception if the given argument doesn't meet this requirement,
or if it does but does not define both required HTTP parameters.
=head3 content_truncation_marker
Web::Mention->content_truncation_marker( $new_truncation_marker )
The text that the content method will append to text that it has
truncated, if it did truncate it. (See L<"content">.)
Defaults to C<...>.
=head3 max_content_length
Web::Mention->max_content_length( $new_max_length )
Gets or sets the maximum length, in characters, of the content displayed
by that object method prior to truncation. (See L<"content">.)
Defaults to 280.
=head2 Object Methods
=head3 as_json
$json = $wm->as_json;
Returns a JSON representation of the webmention.
See L<"SERIALIZATION">, below, for more information.
=head3 author
$author = $wm->author;
A L<Web::Mention::Author> object representing the author of this
webmention's source document. You can get information about the author through
its C<name>, C<url>, and C<photo> methods.
If the webmention's author is unknown or unset, then this method returns a
L<Web::Mention::Author> object with all its fields set to C<undef>.
=head3 content
$content = $wm->content;
Returns a string containing this object's best determination of this
webmention's I<display-ready> content, based on a number of factors.
If the source document uses Microformats2 metadata and contains an
C<h-entry> MF2 item, then returned content may come from a variety of
its constituent properties, according to L<the IndieWeb comment-display
algorithm|https://indieweb.org/comments#How_to_display>.
If not, then it returns the content of the source document's
E<lt>titleE<gt> element, with any further HTML stripped away.
In any case, the string will get truncated if it's too long. See
L<"max_content_length"> and L<"content_truncation_marker">.
=head3 endpoint
my $uri = $wm->endpoint;
Attempts to determine the webmention endpoint URL of this webmention's
target. On success, returns a L<URI> object. On failure, returns undef.
(If the endpoint is set to localhost or a loopback IP, will return undef
and also emit a warning, because that's terribly rude behavior on the
target's part.)
=head3 is_tested
$bool = $wm->is_tested;
Returns 1 if this object's L<"verify"> method has been called at least
once, regardless of the results of that call. Returns 0 otherwise.
=head3 is_verified
$bool = $wm->is_verified;
Returns 1 if the webmention's source document actually does seem to
mention the target URL. Otherwise returns 0.
The first time this is called on a given webmention object, it will try
to fetch the source document at its designated URL by way of the
L<"verify"> method.
=head3 original_source
$original_url = $wm->original_source;
If the document fetched from the source URL seems to point at yet
another URL as its original source, then this returns that URL. If not,
this has the same return value as L<"source">.
(It makes this determination based on the possible presence a C<u-url>
property in an C<h-entry> found within the source document.)
=head3 response
my $response = $wm->response;
Returns the L<HTTP::Response> object representing the response received
by this webmention instance during its most recent attempt to send
itself.
Returns undef if this webmention instance hasn't tried to send itself.
=head3 rsvp_type
my $rsvp = $wm->rsvp_type;
If this webmention is of type C<rsvp> (see L<"type">, below), then this
method returns the type of RSVP represented. It will be one of:
=over
=item *
yes
=item *
no
=item *
maybe
=item *
interested
=back
Otherwise, returns undef.
=head3 send
my $bool = $wm->send;
Attempts to send an HTTP-request representation of this webmention to
its target's designated webmention endpoint. This involves querying the
target URL to discover said endpoint's URL (via the C<endpoint> object
method), and then sending the actual webmention request via HTTP to that
endpoint.
If that whole process goes through successfully and the endpoint returns
a success response (meaning that it has acknowledged the webmention, and
most likely queued it for later processing), then this method returns
true. Otherwise, it returns false.
B<To determine why a webmention did not send itself successfully>, consult
the value of C<response>. If it is defined, then you can call
L<HTTP::Response> methods (such as C<code> or C<message>) to learn more
about the problem. Otherwise, if C<response> is not defined, then the
target URL did not advertise a Webmention endpoint.
=head3 source
$source_url = $wm->source;
Returns the webmention's source URL, as a L<URI> object.
=head3 source_html
$html = $wm->source_html;
The HTML of the document fetched from the source URL. If nothing got
fetched successfully, returns undef.
=head3 source_mf2_document
$mf2_doc = $wm->source_mf2_document;
The L<Web::Microformats2::Document> object that resulted from parsing
the source document for Microformats2 metadata. If no such result,
returns undef.
=head3 target
$target_url = $wm->target;
Returns the webmention's target URL, as a L<URI> object.
=head3 time_published
$published_dt = $wm->time_published;
If the document fetched from the source URL explicitly declares a
publication time via microformats, then this will return an appropriate
L<DateTime> object.
If not (or if the declared time seems to be invalid), then this will
instead have the same return value as L<"time_received">.
(It makes this determination based on the possible presence a C<dt-published>
property in an C<h-entry> found within the source document.)
=head3 time_received
$received_dt = $wm->time_received;
A L<DateTime> object corresponding to this object's creation time.
=head3 time_verified
$verified_dt = $wm->time_verified;
If this webmention has been verified, then this will return a
L<DateTime> object corresponding to the time of verification.
(Otherwise, returns undef.)
=head3 title
my $title = $wm->title;
Returns a string containing this object's best determination of the
I<display-ready> title of this webmention's source document,
considered separately from its content. (You can get its more complete
content via the L<"content"> method.
If the source document uses Microformats2 metadata and contains an
C<h-entry> MF2 item, I<and> that item has a C<name> property, then this
method will return the text content of that name property.
If not, then it will return the content of the source document's
E<lt>titleE<gt> element, with any further HTML stripped away.
In any case, the string will get truncated if it's too long. See
L<"max_content_length"> and L<"content_truncation_marker">.
Note that in some circumstances, the title and content methods might
return identical values. (If, for example, the source document defines
an entry with an explicit name property and no summary or content
properties.)
=head3 type
$type = $wm->type;
The type of webmention this is. One of:
=over
=item *
mention I<(default)>
=item *
reply
=item *
like
=item *
repost
=item *
quotation
=item *
rsvp
=back
This list is based on the W3C Post Type Discovery document
(L<https://www.w3.org/TR/post-type-discovery/#response-algorithm>), and
adds a "quotation" type.
=head3 verify
my $is_verified = $wm->verify
This B<verifies> the webmention, confirming that the content located at
the source URL contains the target URL. Returns 1 if so, and 0
otherwise. Will also return 0 if it cannot fetch the content at all,
after one try.
Sets C<is_tested> to 1 as a side-effect.
See also L<"is_verified">.
=head1 SERIALIZATION
To serialize a Web::Mention object, use L<"as_json">, which returns a
JSON string that you can store in any way you wish. You can later
"inflate" it into a Web::Mention object through the L<"new_from_json">
class method.
Note that a verified webmention might serialize to a significantly
larger JSON string than an unverified one: it might include a complete
copy of the source document, its parsed microformats (if any), author
information, and various other metadata. Unverified webmentions, on the
other hand, will likely contain little data other that their source and
target URLs.
This is all normal; verified webmentions just have more luggage.
=head1 NOTES AND BUGS
This software is B<beta>; its interface continues to develop and remains
subject to change, but not without some effort at supporting its current
API.
This library does not, at this time, support L<the proposed "Vouch"
anti-spam extension for Webmention|https://indieweb.org/Vouch>.

=head1 A PERSONAL REQUEST
My ability to share and maintain free, open-source software like this
depends upon my living in a society that allows me the free time and
personal liberty to create work benefiting people other than just myself
or my immediate family. I recognize that I got a head start on this due
to an accident of birth, and I strive to convert some of my unclaimed
time and attention into work that, I hope, gives back to society in some
small way.
Worryingly, I find myself today living in a country experiencing a
profound and unwelcome political upheaval, with its already flawed
democracy under grave threat from powerful authoritarian elements. These
powers wish to undermine this society, remolding it according to their
deeply cynical and strictly zero-sum philosophies, where nobody can gain
without someone else losing.
Free and open-source software has no place in such a world. As such,
these autocrats' further ascension would have a deleterious effect on my
ability to continue working for the public good.
Therefore, if you would like to financially support my work, I would ask
you to consider a donation to one of the following causes. It would mean
a lot to me if you did. (You can tell me about it if you'd like to, but
you don't have to.)
