SQL::D...s::Role(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

SQL::Dialects::Role — bestie, it's literally the role of being a SQL::Dialect. that's it. that's the job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so picture this, you're building your own dialect and you need the ✨aura✨ of a real one:

package My::SQL::Dialect;

use SQL::Dialects::Role;

sub get_config {
    return <<CONFIG;
[SECTION]
item1
item2

[ANOTHER SECTION]
item1
item2
CONFIG
}

that's the whole vibe. you write one method, the role does the rest. slay. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this module hands your class the role of being a SQL::Dialect. like, congrats, you're a dialect now, you're the main character. 🎀

💜 Requirements 💜

you must implement this one, no skipping, i'm watching:

• get_config —

my $config = $class->get_config;

it returns info about the dialect in an INI-like format. cute little sections, cute little items, very demure.

⭐ Implements ⭐

and the role goes ahead and implements this for you, for free, no cap:

• get_config_as_hash —

my $config = $class->get_config_as_hash;

it gives you back whatever get_config() said, but as a hash ref. glow up fr fr. ✨

heads up: items get upper-cased, sections get lower-cased. that's just the law.

so the example up in the SYNOPSIS would come back looking like this:

{
    section => {
        ITEM1       => 1,
        ITEM2       => 2,
    },
    another_section => {
        ITEM1       => 1,
        ITEM2       => 2,
    }
}

obsessed tbh. 😭
