💅 Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter::Behavior::StringList

okay so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally about a behavior class called Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter::Behavior::StringList — say that five times fast, i dare you 😭

---

✨ NAME ✨

Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter::Behavior::StringList — it's the whole vibe check for actions that are appropriate for a parameter that is a list of strings. periodt.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what this does is provide a standard set of functionality for a string list Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter, so that the developer of a policy does not have to go and provide it her/himself. it's giving "we did the boring part so you don't have to" 🫶

NOTE: bestie do NOT instantiate this class. like, do not. instead use the singleton instance held onto by Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter. iykyk 💅

🦋 INTERFACE SUPPORT 🦋

This is considered to be a non-public class. its interface is subject to change without notice — so no cap, don't go building your whole personality on it 🙈

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• initialize_parameter( $parameter, $specification ) — plugs the functionality this behavior provides right into the parameter, based upon the configuration provided by the specification. it's literally wiring it up for you ✨

This behavior looks for one configuration item:

• always_present_values — Optional. these are the values that should always be included, regardless of what the configuration of the parameter specifies, and they come as an array reference. iconic behavior tbh 👑

• generate_parameter_description( $parameter ) — creates a description of the parameter, based upon the description on the parameter itself, but enhancing it with information from this behavior. a lil glow-up, if you will 💖

In this specific case, the always present values are added at the end. slay 🌈
