🌸 VERSION 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the whole mood board, literally copy-paste:

use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic;

# create from string
my $auth = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic->new_from_string(
    'Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ=='
);

# create from parameters
my $auth = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic->new(
    'Basic' => {
        username => 'Aladdin',
        password => 'open sesame'
    }
);

my $auth = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic->new(
    'Basic' => [ 'Aladdin', 'open sesame' ]
);

my $auth = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Authorization::Basic->new(
    'Basic' => 'QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ=='
);

the way there are four different ways to build the same thing?? that's not a red flag that's a green flag actually 🌈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this class represents the Authorization header, but like… hyperfixated on the 'Basic' type specifically. main character energy, one header type only, we stan a specialist 👑

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💅 new ( $type, $credentials )

okay so the $credentials argument is giving choose your own adventure, and it can be any one of these three:

• a Base64 encoded string — literally the thing you'd get passed in via the header
• a HASH ref with username and password keys
• a two element ARRAY ref where the first element is the username and the second is the password

pick your fighter, they all work 🫶
