Mastod...Account(3pm)

💖 Mastodon::Entity::Account — the perl manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Mastod...Account(3pm) page 🌸 this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your man pages, and it's all about Mastodon::Entity::Account — aka one (1) Mastodon user account, wrapped up in a Perl object like a little gift 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Mastodon::Entity::Account — a Mastodon user account 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first, and this is important: do not build this object yourself. like, do not. it is not for manual creation, no cap 🙅‍♀️ it's meant to be generated from the data you get back from a Mastodon server, using the coercions over in Mastodon::Types. the coercion does the work, you just vibe 💅

for current information, go check the Mastodon API documentation here: <https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-the-API/API.md#account>

🌈 ATTRIBUTES 🌈

every account object comes with these, and they're all lowkey iconic:

• id — the ID of the account
• username — the username of the account
• acct — equals username for local users, and includes @domain for remote ones (so you can tell where they're from, iykyk 🌍)
• display_name — the account's display name
• locked — a boolean for when the account cannot be followed without waiting for approval first 🔒
