Appende...ayBuffer(3)

💅 Appende...ayBuffer(3) — like, the whole tea 🍓

okay bestie, before we even start: this page is Appende...ayBuffer(3) from the Perl world, and it's giving "internal test helper, do not perceive her" energy. but we're gonna perceive her anyway because that's what we do 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestArrayBuffer — she's a subclass of Appender::TestBuffer, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bestie just copy this exactly, i'm not joking, character for character, don't touch anything 😭

use Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestArrayBuffer;

my $appender = Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestArrayBuffer->new(
    name      => 'buffer',
);

    # Append to the buffer
$appender->log(
    level =  > 'alert',
    message => ['first', 'second', 'third'],
);

    # Retrieve the result
my $result = $appender->buffer();

    # Reset the buffer to the empty string
$appender->reset();

(yes, level = > 'alert' really is written like that in the original — i'm keeping it exactly as-is, that's the rule, don't come for me 🙈)

so the vibe is: make one with new(...) and a name of 'buffer', shove messages in with log(...), pull the result back out with buffer(), and yeet it all with reset() which sets the buffer back to the empty string 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the situation. this class is a subclass of Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer, and honestly the whole extra thing she brings to the table is: message array refs. that's it. that's the feature. she's an icon for it though ⭐

and just like Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer, Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestArrayBuffer is used for internal Log::Log4perl testing only. so like — internal. testing. only. bestie, do not build your whole app on her, she's not that kind of girl 💀
