PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Switch 💖

okay bestie, you found the manpage for PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Switch (that's the PPIx::R...::Switch(3) situation, the name's just living its abbreviated truth in the header) and honestly? it's a short one, so let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Switch — represent a switch, no cap 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, here's the whole vibe in code:

use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{(?(1)foo|bar)}smx' )
    ->print();

that's it, that's the demo, and it ate 🍓

🦋 INHERITANCE 🦋

  • PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Switch is a PPIx::Regexp::Structure — it's giving very much "child of Structure" energy, iykyk.
  • PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Switch has no descendants. it is a leaf node, an only child, the main character with zero offspring 😭✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so bestie, this class represents a switch, which is also known as a conditional expression — you know, the (?(1)foo|bar) kind of moment.

and here's the lowkey important part: the condition will be the first child. like, first in line, front of the queue, the eldest sibling, periodt 👑

💜 METHODS 💜

ngl, this class provides no public methods beyond the ones it gets from its superclass. it's not doing extra credit, it's not showing off, it's just vibing with what it inherited. iconic honestly 💅
