Catman...append(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Catmandu::Fix::marc_append — bestie, this one's a Fix, and what it does is add a value at the end of a MARC field 💅

(yes, we're in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section here, 3pm girlies rise up 🫶)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so picture this, you just wanna slap a period at the end of your 100 field:

# Append a period at the end of the 100 field
marc_append(100,".")

that's it. that's the whole vibe. iconic. 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It appends a value at the end of a MARC (sub)field. simple as. lowkey does exactly what it says on the tin 🦋

---

💜 METHODS 💜

marc_append(MARC_PATH , VALUE)

So for each (sub)field that matches the MARC_PATH, it appends the VALUE to the last subfield. no cap 🔥

And that VALUE? It can be either:

• a literal — like, just type the thing you want, bestie ✍️
• or a reference to an existing field in the record, using the dollar JSON_PATH syntax 💫

pick your fighter, both work 🫶

🌈 INLINE 🌈

Not me casually reminding you that this Fix can be used inline in a Perl script — yes, right there in your own code, main character energy only 👑

use Catmandu::Fix::marc_append as => 'marc_append';

my $data = { record => [...] };

$data = marc_append($data, '100', '.');

go off, script 💅✨
