Bio::P...:Tables(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Bio::PrimerDesigner::Table — okay so this is the lil' module that draws HTML tables so your PCR primer results actually look cute on the web. 🎀

It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and the manual page is Bio::P...:Tables(3pm) — bestie, the name is literally right there. iykyk. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does it do?? It draws simple HTML tables to display Bio::PrimerDesigner PCR primer design results and e-PCR results, specifically for web applications. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "I make your data pretty in a browser." ✨

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

💜 info_table

Prints a two-column table for generic, key-value style annotations. Ngl, it's the chill one. 😌

It expects you to pass it the name of the gene/feature/etc. and a hash of attributes. And here's the tea 🍓: if there's an 'image' key in there, the value is assumed to be an image URL, and that URL gets printed in a double-wide cell at the bottom of the table. Iconic behavior, honestly.

my $gene       = 'Abc-1';
my %gene_info  = (
    Chromosome => I,
    Start      => 100450,
    Stop       => 102893,
    Strand     => '+'
);

my $page = Bio::PrimerDesigner::Tables->new;
$page->info_table( $gene, %gene_info );

Look at that. Chef's kiss. 👑 (And yes, Chromosome => I is exactly how it's written up there, no quotes — keep it as-is, bestie, don't go fixing what ain't broke. 💀)

🧚 PCR_header

Returns a generic header for the PCR primer table. 🎀

Does not expect any arguments. Zero. None. It just shows up, does its lil' job, and leaves. Main character energy fr fr. ✨

---

⭐ PCR_set

Returns the top row for the PCR primer table.

Expects the primer set number as its only argument. One argument, that's it. Simple. Slay. 💅

---

🌈 PCR_row

Returns table rows with PCR primer info. 🫶

Should be called once for each primer pair — so if you got 12 primer pairs, you're calling this 12 times, no skips, no shortcuts.

It expects to be passed a hash containing the Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result object, the primer set number, and an (optional) label. Optional!! We love options. 😌

my $pcr_row =  PCR_row(
    primers => $result_obj,
    setnum  => $set_number,
    label   => $label
);

---

🍓 ePCR_row

Returns table rows summarizing e-PCR results. ✨

Expects to be passed a Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result e-PCR results object and an optional e-PCR label. Again with the optional label — she's flexible, she's chill, she's everything. 💖

---

🎀 render

Renders the image URL. 🖼️

Expects to be passed a hash of the map start and stop, plus other features to be mapped — and when I say other features I mean literally: gene, forward_primer, reverse_primer, label, start and stop of each feature, and the gene strand. Yeah. That's a lot of keys. She's thorough. 👑

my $image =  $page->render(
    start => $startleft,
    stop  => $startright,
    feat  => $features
);

---

💅 PCR_map

Returns a 6 column wide table cell with the <IMG ...> info. Six. Columns. Wide. Not five. Not seven. Six. ⭐

Will display the image of mapped primers in the browser when you pass it the image URL. It's giving "I put the picture on the page." 🔥
