✨ NAME ✨

Metabase::Fact::String — the fact subtype for simple strings, bestie 💖 (it's a Perl module, from the Metabase-Fact distribution, living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.025 — yes, that's the one, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so first you're defining the fact class, like:

# defining the fact class
package MyFact;
use Metabase::Fact::String;
our @ISA = qw/Metabase::Fact::String/;

sub content_metadata {
  my $self = shift;
  return {
    'size' => [ '//num' => length $self->content ],
  };
}

sub validate_content {
  my $self = shift;
  $self->SUPER::validate_content;
  die __PACKAGE__ . " content length must be greater than zero\n"
    if length $self->content < 0;
}

...and then... 👀 (literally the exact words of the manpage, I'm not even kidding) you use the fact class:

# using the fact class
my $fact = MyFact->new(
  resource => 'RJBS/Metabase-Fact-0.001.tar.gz',
  content  => "Hello World",
);

$client->send_fact($fact);

slay. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is the base class for facts that are literally just strings of text. nothing more, nothing less. periodt.

⚠️ Important, bestie: strings must be characters, not bytes. don't be out here passing bytes, that's not the move 💀

You may wish to implement a content_metadata method to generate metadata about the hash contents. it's optional but it's giving main character energy if you do 🫶

You should also implement a validate_content method to validate the structure of the hash you're given. like, do it. for you. for your future self. 🌈
