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

📦 version 0.6.0, in alpine 3.24

💖 HTML::O...t::Data(3) — the whole manual, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is the HTML::O...t::Data(3) page from the Perl docs, and it's literally the manual for HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Data, aka the class that handles <data> elements. it's short, it's sweet, and we're gonna get through it together. pull up a chair 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Data — HTML Object DOM Data Class. that's it, that's the name, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's how you actually summon one of these bad boys:

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

that's the whole vibe. new it up, and if it flops, die with the error and a newline like a responsible icon 🫶

✨ VERSION ✨

it's at v0.2.0 — smol version number, big main character energy ⭐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this interface gives you special properties for manipulating <data> elements — and yes, that's "beyond the regular HTML::Object::Element interface" which it also has available to it by inheritance. so like, it's the base model plus the data-specific perks. lowkey a glow-up 💅

✨ INHERITANCE ✨

the family tree, and honestly it's giving royal lineage 👑

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

like, it goes all the way back. respect the ancestors 🦋

✨ PROPERTIES ✨

it inherits properties from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element. slay, inherited ✨

value

this one is a string reflecting the value HTML attribute — i.e. it contains a machine-readable form of the element's value. so it's the robot-readable version of what the element says 🤖

see also the Mozilla documentation at <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDataElement/value> — they explain it too, iykyk 💜

✨ METHODS ✨

it inherits methods from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element. that's the whole section, bestie. no extra methods hiding in here 🌸
