Dictionary(3pm)

💖 Dictionary(3pm) — Lire::Config::Dictionary, aka the Dictionary Value object 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from LogReport's Lire Documentation and it's genuinely a lil hidden gem, so let's get into it bestie ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  use Lire::Config::Dictionary;

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. you just use it and you're in 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: a configuration parameter that literally contains a whole bunch of named parameters, like, other values that you can grab by name. it's giving little dictionary energy 📚

it's the value type you use for top-level configuration sets — yes, the main character of config values 👑

---

🦋 is_set( $name ) 🦋

is_set( $name )

returns true if the parameter $name was set in this dictionary. simple as that, no cap. this is your "does this key even exist" check ✅

---

🧚 get( $name ) 🧚

get( $name )

returns the Value object for the $name subparameter 🎀

⚠️ heads up bestie — an exception will be thrown if there's no subparameter named $name. so like, check with is_set first unless you enjoy chaos 😭

---

💜 set( $value ) 💜

set( $value )

sets a parameter in this dictionary. that's the whole thing. go off 💅✨
