HTML::O...::Space(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

HTML::Object::DOM::Space — HTML Object DOM Space Class. Bestie, this is the page the header tags as HTML::O...::Space(3), straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation shelf. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use HTML::Object::DOM::Space;
my $sp = HTML::Object::DOM::Space->new( value => $some_space ) ||
    die( HTML::Object::DOM::Space->error, "\n" );

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This one is serving v0.2.0. Short, sweet, iconic. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This class implements the representation of a space-only chunk of data. It is a divergence from the DOM standard, which treats space as text. So any data chunk comprised only of spaces between tags would all be space nodes. 🌈

Spaces includes space, tabulation, carriage return, new line, and any other horizontal and vertical spaces. Literally all the invisible little guys. 👑

It inherits from HTML::Object::Space and HTML::Object::DOM::CharacterData. Family tree goes crazy, iykyk. 🧚

💜 INHERITANCE 💜

The whole inheritance glow-up, unchanged because diagrams are sacred:

🧸 PROPERTIES 🧸

💫 nodeValue

Sets or gets the value of this space node. Setter AND getter energy, no cap. ✨

🛠️ METHODS 🛠️

🌟 getAttributes

Returns an empty list in list context or an empty array reference in scalar context. No attributes here, bestie. 🎀

🌟 getChildNodes

Returns an empty list in list context or an empty array reference in scalar context. Empty child-node lineup, fr fr. 🦋

🌟 getElementById

Returns an empty list in list context or undef in scalar context. She is not giving element-by-id today. 💅

🌟 getFirstChild

Returns an empty list in list context or undef in scalar context. No first child, periodt. 🌸

🌟 getLastChild

Returns an empty list in list context or undef in scalar context. No last child either. 😭

🌟 getRootNode

Returns the value from the parent's getRootNode. Just passing that root-node vibe up the chain. 🔥

🌟 isAttributeNode

Returns false. Not an attribute node, bestie. 🙈

🌟 isCommentNode

Returns false. Not a comment node. 💀

🌟 isElementNode

Returns false. Not an element node. 🌈

🌟 isNamespaceNode

Returns false. Not a namespace node. ⭐

🌟 isPINode

Returns false. Not a PI node. 🍓

🌟 isProcessingInstructionNode

Returns false. Not a processing-instruction node. 🧚

🌟 isTextNode

Returns false. Even though it is all about space, it is not a text node. Iconic behavior. 👑

🌟 isEqualNode

Returns true if both nodes are space nodes of equivalent value. Matching space-node energy only. 💖

🌟 parent

Sets or gets the object value of this space node's parent. Parental supervision, but make it object value. 🫶

🌟 string_value

Read-only. Returns the value of this space node. No setting, just reading. 💜
