Test2::...ncoding(3pm)

okay so bestie, this is Test2::Event::Encoding from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, 3pm section — and it's literally the event for telling your output stream what encoding to use 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

Test2::Event::Encoding — Set the encoding for the output stream. That's the whole vibe: encoding, but as an event. Slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The encoding event gets generated when a test file wants to specify the encoding that should be used when formatting its output.

Formatter classes are the intended producers of this event, and it's used for interpreting test names, message contents, etc. Not me explaining an event that's just here to handle encoding realness 😭💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Test2::API qw/context/;
use Test2::Event::Encoding;

my $ctx = context();
my $event = $ctx->send_event('Encoding', encoding => 'UTF-8');

🎀 METHODS 🎀

This one inherits from Test2::Event — iconic inheritance behavior, no cap. It also defines:

• $encoding = $e->encoding — the encoding being specified, bestie. That's the method. That's what it does. 🫶
