Color:...figData(3pm)

💖 Color::Calc::ConfigData — the config brain cell of Color::Calc 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the (3pm) part, iykyk) and it's literally the manual for Color::Calc::ConfigData. pull up a chair, we're doing lore. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Color::Calc::ConfigData — it's the configuration for Color::Calc. that's the whole name. iconic, brief, no notes. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe check on how you'd actually use it:

  use Color::Calc::ConfigData;
  $value = Color::Calc::ConfigData->config('foo');
  $value = Color::Calc::ConfigData->feature('bar');

  @names = Color::Calc::ConfigData->config_names;
  @names = Color::Calc::ConfigData->feature_names;

  Color::Calc::ConfigData->set_config(foo => $new_value);
  Color::Calc::ConfigData->set_feature(bar => $new_value);
  Color::Calc::ConfigData->write;  # Save changes

like look at that. read, write, slay. 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so Color::Calc::ConfigData is the little module that holds all the configuration data for the Color::Calc module. it's giving storage unit but make it Perl. 📦

but wait, there's more — it also hands you a whole programmatic interface for getting and setting that configuration data. so you're not just looking at the config, you're touching the config. main character behavior honestly. 👑

⚠️ but real talk, bestie: to actually make changes stick, you need write access to the Color::Calc::ConfigData module. and you should genuinely attempt to understand the repercussions of your actions. like, understand them. fr fr. this is the "measure twice, cut once" of Perl. 😭

💅 METHODS 💅

the whole squad, one by one:

• config($name) — you hand it a string argument, it hands you back the value of the configuration item with that name. and if no such item exists? you get undef. it's giving "sorry, don't know her". 🙈
• feature($name) — same energy, different department. give it a string argument, get back the value of the feature by that name. no such feature? undef again. 💀
• set_config($name, $value) — sets the configuration item with the given name to the given value. and the value can be any Perl scalar that will serialize correctly using Data::Dumper. so yes: references? yes. objects (usually)? yes. complex data structures? absolutely, bring the whole group chat. what it probably doesn't include is transient stuff like filehandles or sockets — those are not invited to this party. 🚫
• set_feature($name, $value) — sets the feature with the given name to the given boolean value. and don't stress about formatting, because the value gets converted to 0 or 1 automatically. it's either a yes or a no, no in-between, no "maybe", no "we'll see". ⭐
• config_names() — returns a list of all the names of config items currently defined in Color::Calc::ConfigData. and in scalar context? you get the number of items instead. two moods, one method. 🌈
• feature_names() — returns a list of all the names of features currently defined in Color::Calc::ConfigData. scalar context gives you the number of features. same duality, same slay. ✨
• auto_feature_names() — returns a list of all the names of features whose availability is dynamically determined. in scalar context, you get the number of such features. important caveat: it does not include such features that have later been set to a fixed value. so if a feature got locked down, it's off the list. periodt. 🔒
• write() — commits any changes from set_config() and set_feature() to disk. that's the "save" button, bestie. and yeah — it requires write access to the Color::Calc::ConfigData module. no access, no saving, that's the rules. 💾
