Catman...::Util(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Catman...::Util — manual section 3pm — and lowkey its whole thing is being utility functions and generic fixes developed for the Datahub project. that's it, that's the vibe. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Catmandu::Fix::Datahub::Util;

like. just pull it in. that's the whole synopsis. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

use Catmandu::Fix::Datahub::Util;

okay so first things first, yeah, you use it, same as above, no cap. and then you get these two little helper cuties:

✨ declare_source($fixer, $var, $declared_var)

so picture this: you've got an item $var, and $var is a path — like, a string, a path inside a Catmandu fix, mmmkay? what this function does is take the value sitting at that path and assign it to $declared_var, which is a variable you already declared earlier in the fix code. you don't get to just conjure it, bestie, it has to already exist. 🫶

here's the vibe:

my $f_var = $self->fixer->generate_var();
$code .= "my ${f_var};";
$code .= declare_source($self->fixer, 'foo.bar', $f_var);

see how $f_var gets generated, declared, and then handed over? that's the order. don't skip steps. 🙈

🌈 walk($fixer, $path, $key, $h)

now this one walks through a $path — and heads up, that path comes in as an arrayref — until it gets to $key. then it assigns the value of $key to $h. and listen, $h must be declared in the fix code. must. be. declared. no shortcuts, no vibes-based variable creation. 😭

like so:

my $f_var = $self->fixer->generate_var();
$code .= "my ${f_var};";
$code .= walk($self->fixer, ['foo', 'bar'], $f_var);

same energy as before: generate, declare, walk. slay. ⭐
