Biber::Entries(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Biber::Entries — okay bestie, this is the whole vibe: Biber::Entries objects. That's it, that's the package. It's a little container-y crew of entries, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual. Let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ new ✨

Spawns a brand new Biber::Entries object. Fresh out the box, no notes, main character energy 👑

🌸 notnull 🌸

Checks whether the object is empty or not. Basically a vibe check for your data structure 🫶

💅 entry_exists 💅

A boolean sub that tells you if there's actually an entry hanging around for the citation key you passed in. No cap, just true or false 🍓

🎀 entry 🎀

Hand it a citekey, it hands you back a Biber::Entry object. Iconic exchange fr fr ✨

🦋 entries 🦋

Gives you an array of all the Biber::Entry objects. The whole squad, assembled 🌈

💀 del_entries 💀

Deletes all the Biber::Entry objects. Full wipe. Not me being dramatic, that's literally the job 😭

🔥 add_entry 🔥

Adds a Biber::Entry into the Biber::Entries object. Welcome to the group chat, bestie 🫶

🙈 del_entry 🙈

Deletes a Biber::Entry object for a given citekey.

Heads up: this one is only used in tests, to reset data before regeneration with different options. It's not out here living its life in production, iykyk 💅
