TAP::Pa...:Writer(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, welcome to the TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. 💖 The module is TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer — Write YAMLish data. That’s the whole name-and-purpose situation, and honestly? Iconic. ✨

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 3.50. Noted, no cap. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer;

my $data = {
    one => 1,
    two => 2,
    three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
};

my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;

# Write to an array...
$yw->write( $data, \@some_array );

# ...an open file handle...
$yw->write( $data, $some_file_handle );

# ...a string ...
$yw->write( $data, \$some_string );

# ...or a closure
$yw->write( $data, sub {
    my $line = shift;
    print "$line\n";
} );

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It encodes a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAMLish. That’s the vibe: you hand it data, it gives you YAMLish output. 🫶

🌈 METHODS 🌈

💜 Class Methods 💜

✨ new ✨

my $writer = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;

The constructor new creates and returns an empty TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer object. Clean, simple, main-character energy. 💅

🌸 Instance Methods 🌸

💖 write 💖

$writer->write($obj, $output );

Encodes a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAML. Bestie, it’s giving “turn my data into YAML” and I’m obsessed. ✨

my $writer = sub {
    my $line = shift;
    print SOMEFILE "$line\n";
};

my $data = {
    one => 1,
    two => 2,
    three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
};

my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;
$yw->write( $data, $writer );

The $output argument may be:

• a reference to a scalar to append YAML to
• the handle of an open file
• a reference to an array into which YAML will be pushed
• a code reference

If you supply a code reference, the subroutine will be called once for each line of output with the line as its only argument. Passed lines will have no trailing newline. Lowkey important, so don’t forget it. 🫶
