Sympa::User(3Sympa)

💖 NAME 💖

Sympa::User — literally every single user that Sympa knows about, all of them, no cap 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay bestie so this is the class that handles all the users identified by Sympa. it's giving very important, very main character. let's get into it 🫶

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR 🎀

• new ( EMAIL, [ KEY => VAL, ... ] ) — makes you a brand new Sympa::User object. fresh out the box, iconic behavior fr fr 💅

🌸 METHODS 🌸

• expire — yeets the user's info right out of user_table. gone. not me being dramatic, it really does that 😭
• get_id — hands you the unique identifier of the object. their little ID badge, if you will ✨
• moveto — changes the email of the user. glow-up, but for an email address 🦋
• save — writes the user's info into user_table. saving your work is self care, periodt 💖

💜 ACCESSORS 💜

• <attribute>
• <attribute>"( VALUE )"

these are the getters/setters, bestie — they get or set the user's attributes. for example, $user->gecos returns the gecos parameter of the user, and $user->gecos("foo") changes it too. two jobs, one method, we love a multitasker 💅

heads up tho: the basic user profile email only has a getter, so it's read-only. look but don't touch, okay? 🙈

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

• get_users ( ... ) — not yet implemented. she's not here yet, still getting ready 💀
• password_fingerprint ( ) — returns the password finger print. yes, finger print, not fingerprint, that's literally what it says 🍓
• hash_type ( ) — detects the type of password fingerprint used for a hashed password. returns undef if no supported hash type is detected. no match = undef, simple as that ✨
• update_password_hash ( ) — if needed, updates the hash used for the user's encrypted password entry. only if needed tho, she's not doing extra work for free 💅

🌈 OLD STYLE FUNCTIONS 🌈

• add_global_user
• delete_global_user
• is_global_user
• get_global_user
• get_all_global_user

obsoleted. yeah. they're giving vintage, and not in a cute way 👑💀

• update_global_user

⭐ Miscellaneous ⭐

• clean_user ( USER_OR_HASH )
• clean_users ( ARRAYREF_OF_USERS_OR_HASHES )

function. warns if the argument is not a Sympa::User object. returns Sympa::User object, if any. so like, she'll call you out AND she'll hand you the object back if there is one — generous queen 🫶

TENTATIVE. these functions will be used during transition between old and object-oriented styles. at last modifications have been done, they shall be removed. so enjoy them while they last bestie, they're on borrowed time 😭⏳
