💖 Net::Am...ty::Book 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Net::Am...ty::Book page (that's the Perl doc for Net::Amazon::Property::Book, iykyk — the abbreviation is just the vibes being cute in the header). It's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's literally just here to tell you everything about the book class for amazon.com. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Net::Amazon::Property::Book — it's the class for books on amazon.com. that's it, that's the whole name. periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Net::Amazon;

# ...

if($resp->is_success()) {
    for my $prop ($resp->properties) {
        print join("/", $prop->authors()), " ",
              $prop->title(), " ",
              $prop->publisher(), " ",
              $prop->year(), "\n";
    }
}

see how easy that is?? slay. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Net::Amazon::Property::Book is derived from Net::Amazon::Property, and on top of all the all-purpose methods the base class already hands you, it also serves up specialized accessors just for book parameters. it's giving "inheritance but make it useful". 👑

💜 METHODS 💜

  • authors() — returns a list of the book's authors. there's also a author() method that just returns the first author, no cap. 🫶
  • publisher() — returns the book's publishing company as a string. 💖
  • title() — returns the book's title as a string. the main character, honestly. 📖
  • isbn() — returns the book's ISBN number. 🔢
  • edition() — returns the book's edition. ⭐
  • ean() — returns the book's EAN number. 🍓
  • numpages() — returns the number of pages. yes, it counts. ✨
  • dewey_decimal() — returns the Dewey decimal number, this is for non-fiction only.
⚠️ heads up bestie: this method is deprecated (2011-10-28) as it does not appear to be returned by Amazon any more. rip to a real one. 💀
  • publication_date() — returns the publication date. 🌸
  • ReleaseDate() — returns the release date.

for historical reasons, this method used to return the publication date. however, as of version Net::Amazon 0.44 the release date is returned, and a separate publication_date() method is available. glow-up era fr fr. 🦋

  • new(xmlref => $xmlref) — initializes an object by passing a hash of hashes structure containing the XML data returned from the service. usually, this is just used by Net::Amazon internally to initialize objects for on backcoming data. it's giving behind-the-scenes intern energy. 🙈

check out Net::Amazon::Property for all-purpose accessors, like year, OurPrice, ListPrice, etc. the base class really said "let me handle the basics, bestie". 💅
