DESCRIPTION

This is a library of methods for Sub::HandlesVia.

DELEGATABLE METHODS

`append( $tail )`

Arguments: Str.

Appends another string to the end of the current string and updates the attribute.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object->my_append( 'bar' );
  say $object->attr; ## ==> 'foobar'

`chomp()`

Like chomp from perlfunc.

`chop()`

Like chop from perlfunc.

`clear()`

Sets the string to the empty string.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object->my_clear;
  say $object->attr; ## nothing

`cmp( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr cmp $str.

`cmpi( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) cmp fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`contains( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns true iff the string contains $str.

`contains_i( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns true iff the string contains $str case-insensitvely.

`ends_with( $tail )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns true iff the string ends with $tail.

`ends_with_i( $tail )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns true iff the string ends with $tail case-insensitvely.

`eq( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr eq $str.

`eqi( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) eq fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`fc()`

Returns fc($object->attr).

`ge( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr ge $str.

`gei( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) ge fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`get()`

Gets the current value of the string.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  say $object->my_get; ## ==> 'foo'

`gt( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr gt $str.

`gti( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) gt fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`inc()`

Performs ++ on the string.

`lc()`

Returns lc($object->attr).

`le( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr le $str.

`lei( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) le fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`length()`

Like length from perlfunc.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  say $object->my_length; ## ==> 3

`lt( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr lt $str.

`lti( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) lt fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`match( $regexp )`

Arguments: Str|RegexpRef.

Returns true iff the string matches the regexp.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  if ( $object->my_match( '^f..$' ) ) {
    say 'matched!';
  }

`match_i( $regexp )`

Arguments: Str|RegexpRef.

Returns true iff the string matches the regexp case-insensitively.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  if ( $object->my_match_i( '^F..$' ) ) {
    say 'matched!';
  }

`ne( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns $object->attr ne $str.

`nei( $str )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns fc($object->attr) ne fc($str). Uses lc instead of fc in versions of Perl older than 5.16.

`prepend( $head )`

Arguments: Str.

Prepends another string to the start of the current string and updates the attribute.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object->my_prepend( 'bar' );
  say $object->attr; ## ==> 'barfoo'

`replace( $regexp, $replacement )`

Arguments: Str|RegexpRef, Str|CodeRef.

Replaces the first regexp match within the string with the replacement string.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object->my_replace( 'o' => 'a' );
  say $object->attr; ## ==> 'fao'

  my $object2 = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object2->my_replace( qr/O/i => sub { return 'e' } );
  say $object2->attr; ## ==> 'feo'

`replace_globally( $regexp, $replacement )`

Arguments: Str|RegexpRef, Str|CodeRef.

Replaces the all regexp matches within the string with the replacement string.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object->my_replace_globally( 'o' => 'a' );
  say $object->attr; ## ==> 'faa'

  my $object2 = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object2->my_replace_globally( qr/O/i => sub { return 'e' } );
  say $object2->attr; ## ==> 'fee'

`reset()`

Resets the attribute to its default value, or an empty string if it has no default.

`set( $value )`

Arguments: Str.

Sets the string to a new value.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => 'foo' );
  $object->my_set( 'bar' );
  say $object->attr; ## ==> 'bar'

`starts_with( $head )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns true iff the string starts with $head.

`starts_with_i( $head )`

Arguments: Str.

Returns true iff the string starts with $head case-insensitvely.

`substr( $start, $length?, $replacement? )`

Arguments: Int, Optional[Int], Optional[Str].

Like substr from perlfunc, but is not an lvalue.

`uc()`

Returns uc($object->attr).

EXTENDED EXAMPLES

Using eq for Enum

  use strict;
  use warnings;
  
  package My::Person {
    use Moo;
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    use Types::Standard qw( Str Enum );
    
    has name => (
      is => 'ro',
      isa => Str,
      required => 1,
    );
    
    has status => (
      is => 'rwp',
      isa => Enum[ 'alive', 'dead' ],
      handles_via => 'String',
      handles => {
        is_alive => [ eq  => 'alive' ],
        is_dead  => [ eq  => 'dead' ],
        kill     => [ set => 'dead' ],
      },
      default => 'alive',
    );
    
    # Note: method modifiers work on delegated methods
    #
    before kill => sub {
      my $self = shift;
      warn "overkill" if $self->is_dead;
    };
  }
  
  my $bob = My::Person->new( name => 'Robert' );
  say $bob->is_alive; ## ==> true
  say $bob->is_dead;  ## ==> false
  $bob->kill;
  say $bob->is_alive; ## ==> false
  say $bob->is_dead;  ## ==> true

Match with curried regexp

  use strict;
  use warnings;
  
  package My::Component {
    use Moo;
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    use Types::Standard qw( Str Int );
    
    has id => (
      is => 'ro',
      isa => Int,
      required => 1,
    );
    
    has name => (
      is => 'ro',
      isa => Str,
      required => 1,
      handles_via => 'String',
      handles => {
        name_is_safe_filename => [ match => qr/\A[A-Za-z0-9]+\z/ ],
        _lc_name => 'lc',
      },
    );
    
    sub config_filename {
      my $self = shift;
      if ( $self->name_is_safe_filename ) {
        return sprintf( '%s.ini', $self->_lc_name );
      }
      return sprintf( 'component-%d.ini', $self->id );
    }
  }
  
  my $foo = My::Component->new( id => 42, name => 'Foo' );
  say $foo->config_filename; ## ==> 'foo.ini'
  
  my $bar4 = My::Component->new( id => 99, name => 'Bar #4' );
  say $bar4->config_filename; ## ==> 'component-99.ini'
