💖 App::Sqitch::Command::show

okay bestie sit DOWN because we're looking at a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, and it's literally the module behind the show command in Sqitch. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

App::Sqitch::Command::show — it shows you the Sqitch changes that live in a database. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

my $cmd = App::Sqitch::Command::show->new(%params);
$cmd->execute($type, $name);

like. two lines. that's it. she's efficient. ⭐

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does this thing actually do? It shows the content of a Sqitch object. periodt. 💖

Now — real talk — if you're here because you wanna use the show command, bestie, you're in the wrong room, you want to be reading sqitch-show instead. But if you genuinely wanna know how the show command works under the hood? Read on, queen. 👑

🔥 INTERFACE 🔥

🌈 Class Methods

⭐ options

my @opts = App::Sqitch::Command::show->options;

Returns a list of Getopt::Long option specs for the command-line options of the show command. that's the menu of flags, basically. 🍓

💜 Attributes

🎀 exists_only

It's a Boolean, and what it does is: suppress output, and instead exit with zero status if the object exists and is a valid object. so like, "just tell me if it's there, don't show me the receipts." 🙈

💅 Instance Methods

✨ execute

$show->execute;

Executes the show command. main character behaviour, honestly. 👑

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

  • sqitch-show — the documentation for the show command in the Sqitch command-line client. this is the one you probably actually wanted, bestie. 💖
  • sqitch — the Sqitch command-line client itself. the whole mothership. 🚀
