💅 Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MicroLIF 💅

okay bestie, so this is a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — it lives in the Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MicroLIF era of your life, and its whole job is importing MicroLIF records. that's it. that's the vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Importer::MARC::MicroLIF — the Package that imports MicroLIF records. no cap, that's literally its whole personality and it ate. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so you can run this from the command line, like this:

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

or from perl, if that's more your main character energy:

# From perl
use Catmandu;

# import records from file
my $importer = Catmandu->importer('MARC',file => '/foo/data.lif', type => 'MicroLIF');
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};
});

see how the $fixer just glides in there at the end? obsessed. 🦋

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

• id — the MARC field that holds the system id. default is 001. she's the identifier field, the moment, the blueprint. 💅
• file — read your input from a local file, and you give it the path. alternatively, you can pass a scalar reference and it'll read from a string instead. flexible fr fr. ✨
• fh — read your input from an IO::Handle. if you don't specify one, Catmandu::Util::io gets used to build the input stream from the file argument, or by using STDIN. 🫶
• encoding — the binmode of the input stream fh. it's set to :utf8 by default. we stay encoded, we stay iconic. 🌈
• fix — an ARRAY of one or more fixes, or file scripts, that get applied to the imported items. throw your whole fixer stack in here, bestie. 🍓

💖 METHODS 💖

every Catmandu::Importer is a Catmandu::Iterable, so all its methods are inherited. you don't have to teach her anything new, she already knows. 👑
