Data::...lk::Nil(3pm)

💖 Data::Stream::Bulk::Nil — the perl manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is Data::Stream::Bulk::Nil, living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages, and it's giving absolutely nothing. On purpose. That's the whole point. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Data::Stream::Bulk::Nil — an empty Data::Stream::Bulk iterator. That's it, that's the girl. An iterator that iterates over the void. 🕳️✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.11 — yes bestie, we're on 0.11, keep up 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

return Data::Stream::Bulk::Nil->new; # empty set

literally just that. you call ->new, you get an empty set. no args, no drama, no notes. 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So like — sometimes your resultset is empty and you need an iterator that can represent that. That's this. This iterator can be used to return the empty resultset. Not a fake one, not a "whoops we forgot the data" one — the actual empty one, fully sentient about being empty. 🫶

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💫 is_done

Always returns true. She's done. She's always been done. She was born done. 😭💀

💫 next

Always returns undef. You ask for the next thing? There is no next thing. There is only undef, forever. 🙈

💫 items / all

Always returns the empty list. Both of them. Same energy. Nothing to see here bestie, literally. ✨

💫 list_cat

Skips $self. Yeah — it doesn't even cat itself into the list, because it has nothing to contribute and it knows it. Iconic self-awareness. 💅

💫 filter

Returns $self. Whatever filter you throw at her, she hands herself right back. Unbothered. Unchanged. A queen of consistency. 👑

💫 loaded

Returns true. (The one single thing in this entire module that is, in fact, true. 😌)
