🌲 Forest::Tree::Roles::MetaData — a lil role mixin for tree node metadata 💖

okay bestie so this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, it lives in section 3pm, and the whole vibe is: your tree nodes deserve to carry stuff around. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Forest::Tree::Roles::MetaData — a role mixin to support tree node metadata. that's it, that's the name, she's serving exactly what she says on the tin 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works: this role mixin adds support for each tree node to have arbitrary metadata stored in a HASHref. yes, arbitrary. put whatever you want in there, she's not judging 🫶

and here's the iconic part — the metadata is inherited in the tree as well, so a child will inherit the parent's metadata. it just trickles down the family tree like genetics but for data. 🌸

this is really useful, at least for me it is :) — and honestly? slay, we love a self-aware author.

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

  • metadata — the attribute. that's her. the whole metadata situation. 💖

🔥 METHODS 🔥

  • fetch_metadata_for ($key) — okay so first she checks locally, right? and if it doesn't find anything, she climbs back up to the root looking. no cap. she will literally walk all the way up the tree for you. 🧚

💀 BUGS 💀

all complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. 😭 lurking!! in the code!! terrifying.

if you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT. do it for the plot, do it for the people. 🫶
