Audio:...::Item(3pm)

✨ Audio::MPD::Common::Item — the generic collection item glow-up ✨

okay bestie, listen up 💖 this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? it's giving virtual class realness. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Audio::MPD::Common::Item — a generic collection item. yes that's the whole name, no cap 💅

💜 VERSION 💜

version 2.003 — iconic, we love a version number ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

my $item = Audio::MPD::Common::Item->new( %params );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Audio::MPD::Common::Item is a virtual class — meaning it's the main character but it doesn't do the thing itself, it's the blueprint, the moment, the energy 🌈. It represents a generic item of mpd's collection, and that item can be one of three things:

• a song 🎵
• a directory 📁
• or a playlist 📝

Depending on the params you hand to new, it will create and return you an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song, an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Directory, or an Audio::MPD::Common::Playlist object. literally it just picks for you, so generous 💖

And rn, the discrimination — the way it decides which one you get — is done on the existence of the file key of %params. that's the whole test. iykyk 🔥

💅 METHODS 💅

🌟 my $item = Audio::MPD::Common::Item->new( %params );

Create and return either an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song, an Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Directory, or an Audio::MPD::Common::Playlist object — and which one you get depends on the existence of a key: file, directory, or playlist (respectively) 🙈✨

slay. periodt.

lowkey a lil warning-flavored note: this is a virtual class, so don't be out here thinking you're getting an Audio::MPD::Common::Item back every time — you're getting one of its cute subclasses based on those keys. that's not me being shady, that's literally the docs 💀
