SQL::S...Factory(3pm)

💖 SQL::Statement::TermFactory 💖

okay bestie, so this is SQL::Statement::TermFactory — it's a Perl module (3pm, you know the vibe) and honestly? it's giving factory energy. it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's literally a factory for SQL::Statement::Term instances. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $termFactory = SQL::Statement::TermFactory->new($stmt);
my $whereTerms = $termFactory->buildCondition( $stmt->{where_clause} );
my $col = $termFactory->buildCondition( $stmt->{col_obj}->{$name}->{content} );

look at her go 🎀 three lines and she's already building conditions out here.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this package implements a factory (yes, an actual factory) that creates type and operation based terms. and those terms? they're the ones used to access data from the table(s) — whether you're evaluating the where clause or just returning column data. like, that's the whole job. that's the assignment. 💅

now, the concept of a factory can be studied in Design Patterns by the Gang of Four. (iykyk — the OGs.) and the concept of using polymorphism instead of conditions? that one's suggested by Martin Fowler in his book Refactoring. king behavior, honestly. 👑

🦋 METHODS 🦋

buildCondition

Builds a condition object from a given (part of a) where clause. and the way that it does this? it calls itself recursively for predicates. yes bestie, recursion. she contains multitudes. 🔁✨
