MetaCPA...complete(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

MetaCPAN::API::Autocomplete — literally just autocompletion info for MetaCPAN::API, bestie 💅

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.51 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this role is the glow-up that gives MetaCPAN::API the power to go fetch autocomplete info. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "small but essential," fr fr 🦋

---

👑 METHODS 👑

🍓 autocomplete

the main character, the moment, the one you came here for:

my $result = $mcpan->autocomplete(
    search => {
        query => 'Moose',
    },
);

so by default? you get 20 results, and that's the max, periodt. no more, no less (well, up to 20, iykyk).

but if you're feeling greedy and want more, you can also pass size in there like so:

my $result = $mcpan->autocomplete(
    search => {
        query => 'Moose',
        size  => 30,
    },
);

heads up bestie: there is a hardcoded limit of 100 results — and it's hardcoded in MetaCPAN, not here. so no matter how cute you ask, 100 is the ceiling. don't fight it, the limit ate 🔥

what does it actually do? it searches MetaCPAN for autocompletion info. simple as that, no cap 💜
