TEST2::EVENTFACET::INFO(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, you opened the Test2::EventFacet::Info(3pm) page — it’s the facet for information a developer might care about. That’s the whole vibe: info a dev actually cares about. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This facet is literally giving “messages for humans” energy: the stuff that helps you either understand a result or diagnose a failure. 🫶

---

🎀 NOTES 🎀

Lowkey important: this facet appears in a list instead of being a single item. So don’t expect one lonely info facet, bestie — it’s a whole list situation. 💀

---

💖 FIELDS 💖

• $string_or_structure = $info->{details} $string_or_structure = $info->details() Human readable string or data structure — this is the information to display. Formatters are free to render the structures however they please. This may contain a blessed object. 🦋

If the "table" attribute (see below) is set then a renderer may choose to display the table instead of the details.

• $structure = $info->{table} $structure = $info->table() If the data the "info" facet needs to convey can be represented as a table, then the data may be placed in this attribute in a more raw form for better display. The data must also be represented in the "details" attribute for renderers which do not support rendering tables directly. 📊

The table structure:

my %table = {
    header => [ 'column 1 header', 'column 2 header', ... ], # Optional

    rows => [
        ['row 1 column 1', 'row 1, column 2', ... ],
        ['row 2 column 1', 'row 2, column 2', ... ],
        ...
    ],

    # Allow the renderer to hide empty columns when true, Optional
    collapse => $BOOL,

    # List by name or number columns that should never be collapsed
    no_collapse => \@LIST,
}

• $short_string = $info->{tag} $short_string = $info->tag() Short tag to categorize the info. This is usually 10 characters or less, formatters may truncate longer tags. 🏷️
• $bool = $info->{debug} $bool = $info->debug() Set this to true if the message is critical, or explains a failure. This is info that should be displayed by formatters even in less-verbose modes. 🔥

When false the information is not considered critical and may not be rendered in less-verbose modes.

• $bool = $info->{important} $bool = $info->important This should be set for non debug messages that are still important enough to show when a formatter is in quiet mode. A formatter should send these to STDOUT not STDERR, but should show them even in non-verbose mode. 👑

And that’s the whole page, bestie! The source/version line says perl v5.42.3, the date is 2026-11-03, and yes — the footer also has Test2::...et::Info(3pm) on it. It’s giving official manual-page realness. Mwah 💋✨
