💖 Catman...:count(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Catman...:count(3pm) page — that's the Perl User Contributed Documentation section, section 3pm, for the module Catmandu::Cmd::count. pull up a chair, this one's short and sweet 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Cmd::count — count the number of items in a bag 💅

like... it counts. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

here's the vibe, fr fr:

catmandu count <STORE> <OPTIONS>

catmandu count ElasticSearch --index-name shop --bag products \
                             --query 'brand:Acme'

catmandu help store ElasticSearch

so like, first line is the general shape of it — you drop in a <STORE> and whatever <OPTIONS> you want. the second one is a real live example hitting up ElasticSearch with --index-name shop, --bag products, and a --query 'brand:Acme' because we're counting the Acme-brand girlies specifically 🎀

and then catmandu help store ElasticSearch if you wanna know more about that store — go read up, bestie, self-education is main character energy 📚✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

wanna count the number of items coming from an importer instead of a bag? then you want Catmandu::Exporter::Count. different tool, different job, same counting fantasy 💜
