DESCRIPTION

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

DELEGATABLE METHODS

accessor( $key, $value? )

Arguments: Str, Optional[Any].

Acts like get if given one argument, or set if given two arguments.

all()

Returns the hash in list context.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  my %hash = $object->my_all;

clear()

Empties the hash.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  $object->my_clear;
  say exists $object->attr->{foo}; ## ==> false
  say exists $object->attr->{bar}; ## ==> false

count()

Returns the number of keys in the hash.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  say $object->my_count; ## ==> 2

defined( $key )

Arguments: Str.

Indicates whether a value exists and is defined in the hashref by its key.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  say $object->my_defined( 'foo' ); ## ==> 1

delete( $key )

Removes a value from the hashref by its key.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  $object->my_delete( 'foo' );
  say exists $object->attr->{foo}; ## ==> false

elements()

Returns the hash in list context.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  my %hash = $object->my_elements;

exists( $key )

Arguments: Str.

Indicates whether a value exists in the hashref by its key.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  say $object->my_exists( 'foo' ); ## ==> true
  say $object->my_exists( 'baz' ); ## ==> false

for_each_key( $coderef )

Arguments: CodeRef.

Chainable method which calls the coderef for each key in the hash, passing just the key to the coderef.

for_each_pair( $coderef )

Arguments: CodeRef.

Chainable method which calls the coderef for each key in the hash, passing the key and value to the coderef.

for_each_value( $coderef )

Arguments: CodeRef.

Chainable method which calls the coderef for each value in the hash, passing just the value to the coderef.

get( $key )

Returns a value from the hashref by its key.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  say $object->my_get( 'bar' ); ## ==> 1

is_empty()

Returns true iff there are no keys in the hash.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  say $object->my_is_empty; ## ==> false
  $object->_set_attr( {} );
  say $object->my_is_empty; ## ==> true

keys()

Returns the list of keys in the hash.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  # says 'foo' and 'bar' in an unpredictable order
  say for $object->my_keys;

kv()

Returns a list of arrayrefs, where each arrayref is a key-value pair.

reset()

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

set( $key, $value, ... )

Given a key and value, adds the key to the hashref with the given value.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  $object->my_set( bar => 2, baz => 1 );
  say $object->attr->{foo}; ## ==> 0
  say $object->attr->{baz}; ## ==> 1
  say $object->attr->{bar}; ## ==> 2

shallow_clone()

Creates a new hashref with the same keys and values as the original.

sorted_keys()

Returns an alphabetically sorted list of keys in the hash.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  # says 'bar' then 'foo'
  say for $object->my_sorted_keys;

values()

Returns the list of values in the hash.

  my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
  # says '0' and '1' in an unpredictable order
  say for $object->my_values;
