💖 Lucy::...kenizer(3pm) — bestie's guide to the StandardTokenizer 💖

okay so you opened the Lucy::...kenizer(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? you came to the right place. sit down, hydrate, let's talk about Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer — literally just: split a string into tokens. that's the whole job. she's an icon, she's a specialist 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready:

my $tokenizer = Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer->new;

# Then... once you have a tokenizer, put it into a PolyAnalyzer:
my $polyanalyzer = Lucy::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new(
    analyzers => [ $tokenizer, $normalizer, $stemmer ], );

see how she doesn't work alone? she gets dropped into a PolyAnalyzer with her friends $normalizer and $stemmer. squad goals 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so generically speaking — and stay with me here — "tokenizing" is the process of breaking up a string into an array of "tokens". like, the string "three blind mice" might get tokenized into "three", "blind", "mice". that's it. that's the whole concept. 🔥

Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer breaks up the text at the word boundaries defined in Unicode Standard Annex #29. then it returns those words that contain alphabetic or numeric characters. so like, it's picky but in a cute way — random punctuation chunks don't make the cut, only actual word-ish stuff ✨

---

✨ CONSTRUCTORS ✨

🌸 new 🌸

my $tokenizer = Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer->new;

Constructor. takes no arguments. she's low maintenance, she just shows up ready to work. no cap 🙈

---

✨ METHODS ✨

🦋 transform 🦋

my $inversion = $standard_tokenizer->transform($inversion);

takes a single Inversion as input and returns an Inversion — either the same one (presumably transformed in some way, bestie) or a new one. either way you get an Inversion back, periodt 💜

• inversion — An inversion.

---

✨ INHERITANCE ✨

the family tree, so you know where she gets her main character energy from:

Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer isa Lucy::Analysis::Analyzer isa Clownfish::Obj.

three generations of iconic behavior 👑
