✨ NAME ✨

PPIx::Utilities::Statement — it's giving Extensions to PPI::Statement 💖 (this is the PPIx::...tement page from the perl manual, bestie, we're doing it)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This document describes PPIx::Utilities::Statement version 1.1.0. iconic, we stan a versioned doc 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so like, here's the whole vibe in code form:

use PPI::Document qw< >;

use PPIx::Utilities::Statement qw<
    get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement
>;

my $document = PPI::Document->new(\'Readonly::Scalar my $THINGY => 47.2;');

# Returns the PPI::Token::Symbol for "$THINGY".
my ($constant) = get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement(
    $document->schild(0)
);

yes bestie, that comment says it returns the PPI::Token::Symbol for "$THINGY" — no cap, it's right there in the source 🫶

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically this module is a collection of functions for dealing with PPI::Statement objects. that's it, that's the whole assignment. PPI::Statements and the girls who love them 💜

---

✨ INTERFACE ✨

⚠️ heads up: Nothing is exported by default. you have to ask nicely (aka import it yourself, iykyk).

🍓 "get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement($statement)"

okay so picture this: you hand it a PPI::Statement. if that statement is a Readonly or Const::Fast declaration statement, or a "use constant", then boom — it hands you back the names of the things being defined. ✨

Given this:

use constant 1.16 FOO => 'bar';

this will return the PPI::Token::Word containing 'FOO'. 💖

Given this:

use constant 1.16 { FOO => 'bar', 'BAZ' => 'burfle' };

this will return a list of the PPI::Tokens containing 'FOO' and 'BAZ'. two of them. a little squad. 🫶

Similarly, given:

Readonly::Hash my %FOO => ( bar => 'baz' );

or:

const my %FOO => ( bar => 'baz' );

this will return the PPI::Token::Symbol containing '%FOO'. slay.
