HTML::O...t::DList(3)

📦 version 0.6.0, in alpine 3.24

💖 HTML::O...t::DList(3) — the DL List glow-up

okay bestie, so this is HTML::Object::DOM::Element::DList, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the class that handles definition list (<dl>) elements. she's giving specialist energy, and honestly? we stan. ✨

🦋 NAME

HTML::Object::DOM::Element::DList — HTML Object DOM DL List Class. that's it, that's the name, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

like, use her and then make one, okay?

use HTML::Object::DOM::Element::DList;
my $list = HTML::Object::DOM::Element::DList->new ||
    die( HTML::Object::DOM::Element::DList->error, "\n" );

that || die(...) is not decorative, babe — if new flops you print the error and exit. respect the guard clause. 💅

🎀 VERSION

v0.2.0

periodt. that's the version.

✨ DESCRIPTION

so this interface gives you special properties for manipulating definition list (<dl>) elements — and these are on top of everything the regular HTML::Object::Element interface already gives you, since it inherits all of that anyway. lowkey the whole point: <dl> gets its own little toolkit. 🫶

👑 INHERITANCE

she has ancestors, and here's the whole family tree in all its wide, unbothered glory:

+-----------------------+     +---------------------------+     +-------------------------+     +----------------------------+     +-----------------------------------+
| HTML::Object::Element | --> | HTML::Object::EventTarget | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Node | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Element | --> | HTML::Object::DOM::Element::DList |
+-----------------------+     +---------------------------+     +-------------------------+     +----------------------------+     +-----------------------------------+

read it left to right, the arrows are the inheritance chain, DList is the main character at the end. 🔥

🌈 PROPERTIES

she inherits her properties from her parent, HTML::Object::DOM::Element. so everything mom has, she has.

💜 compact

it's a boolean value that says whether the spacing between list items should be reduced. true = squish those list items together, false = let them breathe. that's the whole vibe check.

also, see the Mozilla documentation for it: <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDListElement/compact> ⭐

🧚 METHODS

she inherits her methods from her parent, HTML::Object::DOM::Element too. nothing extra up in here, she's just her mom's kid and she's thriving. 💀
