Catman...RCMaker(3pm)

💖 Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MARCMaker 💖

okay bestie, sit down, because this is the Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MARCMaker page from the 3pm manual and it's literally the package that imports MARCMaker records. that's the whole vibe. it imports MARCMaker records. iconic behavior honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MARCMaker — the package that imports MARCMaker records 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you use her. from the command line, she said:

# From the command line
$ catmandu convert MARC --type MARCMaker --fix "marc_map('245a','title')" < /foo/data.mrk

and from perl, because of course:

# From perl
use Catmandu;

# import records from file
my $importer = Catmandu->importer('MARC',file => '/foo/data.mrk', type => 'MARCMaker');
my $fixer    = Catmandu->fixer("marc_map('245a','title')");

$importer->each(sub {
    my $item = shift;
    ...
});

# or using the fixer

$fixer->fix($importer)->each(sub {
    my $item = shift;
    printf "title: %s\n" , $item->{title};
});

not me copying that verbatim because you do NOT want me paraphrasing code, bestie. run it as-is. 🫶

🦋 CONFIGURATION 🦋

these are the lil knobs you can turn. every single one, no skipping:

• id — the MARC field that's holding the system id. default is 001. that's her home base 💅
• file — read your input from a local file, and you give her the path. OR, plot twist, you can hand her a scalar reference and she'll read from a string instead. versatile queen ✨
• fh — read your input from an IO::Handle. if you don't specify one, Catmandu::Util::io rolls up and creates the input stream for you, either from the "file" argument or straight from STDIN. she improvises. 👑
• encoding — the binmode of the input stream fh. defaults to ":utf8" because we're not animals. 🧚
• fix — an ARRAY of one or more fixes or file scripts that get applied to the imported items. stack 'em up, bestie 🍓

💜 METHODS 💜

every Catmandu::Importer is a Catmandu::Iterable, which means all its methods are inherited. so like… she comes with the whole friend group already. no cap. 🌈
