MDOM::Token(3pm)

💖 MDOM::Token — a whole manual page, bestie 💖

Part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, no cap ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

MDOM::Token — literally just one single token of Makefile source code 💅

---

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

Okay so the family tree goes like this, bestie:

MDOM::Token
isa MDOM::Element

So yeah, MDOM::Token is a MDOM::Element. That's the vibe. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So MDOM::Token is the abstract base class for all the Tokens. Abstract, meaning you don't just go around instantiating it yourself, bestie, it's the blueprint 👑

In MDOM terms (iykyk), a Token is a MDOM::Element that directly represents bytes of source code. Like, it is the bytes. Main character energy fr fr. 🔥

And a lil credit where credit is due: the implementation and the POD are borrowed directly from PPI::Token. We love an homage 💖

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💅 set_class

Set a specific class for a token. That's it, that's the whole thing. Slay. ✨

🍓 set_content $string

The set_content method lets you set/change the string that the MDOM::Token object represents. Glow-up for your token, essentially. 💖

Returns the string you set the Token to. 🫶

🌈 add_content $string

The add_content method lets you add additional bytes of code to the end of the Token. Like it's growing. Iconic. 🌱

Returns the new full string after the bytes have been added. Periodt. 💅

🦋 length

The length method returns the length of the string in a Token. Just the number, bestie. No drama. ⭐

👑 source

Returns the makefile source for the current token. The receipts. The origin story. 🎀
