MetaCP...::HasUA(3pm)

✨ MetaCP...::HasUA ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to MetaCPAN::Client::Role::HasUA 💖 — aka the role that handles your user-agent situation. It's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl world, and it's lowkey iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.044000 ✨ (yes, that's the whole version number, she's specific)

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

💅 ua

my $mcpan = MetaCPAN::Client->new( ua => HTTP::Tiny->new(...) );

So this is the user agent object that actually goes out there and runs your requests. She's the one doing the work, the main character of the network call 💫

The way that it works: it must provide an interface that matches HTTP::Tiny. Like, explicitly, no wiggle room:

• Implement post() — there has to be a post method available that accepts a request URL and a hashref of options.
• Implement get() — there has to be a get method available that accepts a request URL.
• Return result hashref — it must return a result hashref which has the key success and the key content.

Default: HTTP::Tiny 🌈 (she comes pre-installed, we love a no-effort setup)

🌟 ua_args

my $mcpan = MetaCPAN::Client->new(
    ua_args => [ agent => 'MyAgent' ],
);

These are the arguments sent to the user agent — like, all the little extras you wanna pass along to her so she knows how to behave 🎀

Default: user agent string: MetaCPAN::Client/$version.

ngl bestie, if you're swapping in your own ua, double-check she's got post() and get() and returns that success + content hashref — otherwise it's giving broken and the request will simply not slay 💀
