💖 Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedTableFeatureI(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, because this one is tiny and I mean tiny in the most iconic way. This is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the shortest little interface you've ever met. No cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedTableFeatureI — the interface for normalized features whose hierarchy is stored in a table 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

none

yeah. that's it. that's the synopsis. it's giving minimalism. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this is an extremely simple interface, and when I say extremely I mean it has exactly one method: subfeatures_are_stored_in_a_table(). That's the whole method roster. One. Single. Method. 👑

And what does this one method do? It returns a true value. That's it. That's the job. It exists purely to say "yes, bestie, they are." ✨

Here's the lore: Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store feature classes will inherit this interface to flag that — on top of being able to store features in a normalized way — they're also gonna use the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store database to record their parent/child relationships. So it's a little badge that says "I do my family tree in the database." 🌸

And one more thing, important: a class that inherits from NormalizedTableFeatureI will also inherit from NormalizedFeatureI, because the first one is a subclass of the second. So you never get one without the other. They come as a set. Periodt. 💖

✨ BUGS ✨

None. Zero. Nada. 🎉

but the whole class design might be flawed 💀

I know. I know. She said it, not me. It's in the original. Live laugh love, bestie. 😭
