Test::...teHash(3pm)

💖 Test::Data::Split::Backend::ValidateHash 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Test::Data::Split::Backend::ValidateHash, living its best life in the Test::...teHash(3pm) slot of your friendly neighborhood User Contributed Perl Documentation. pull up a chair, this one's short and sweet 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Data::Split::Backend::ValidateHash — a hash backend that does input validation and transformation. it's giving "we don't just store your data, we ✨curate✨ it." 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.2.2 — she's small but mighty, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

See the tests.

that's it. that's the synopsis. the tests are the moment, iykyk 🙈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This one inherits from Test::Data::Split::Backend::Hash. like, that's its whole lineage. iconic family tree, honestly. 👑

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💫 $pkg->populate([$id1,$data1,$id2,$data2,$id3,$data3...]); 💫

okay so this populates the hash with the IDs and data you hand it, passed in as an even-lengthed array reference. and listen — the IDs must be unique, and the validate_and_transform method must be implemented. no shortcuts, bestie, that's the vibe check. ✋

It accepts an {id => $id, data => $data} hash reference, and then it either throws an exception or returns the transformed/mutated data (which can totally be the same as the original, no glow-up required). 🌈
