Test::...essors(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Test::Run::Sprintf::Named::FromAccessors — named sprintf according to the values of accessors. (Yeah bestie, that's the whole vibe. It's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, so it's a Perl module page, obvs.)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's literally how you use it:

my $formatter =
    Test::Run::Sprintf::Named::FromAccessors->new(
        {
            fmt => "Hello %(name)s! Today you are %(age)d years old.",
        }
    );

my $person1 = Person->new(name => "Larry", age => 24);

my $msg1 = $formatter->format({args => { obj => $person1 }});

my $person2 = Person->new(name => "Rachel", age => 30);

my $msg2 = $formatter->format({args => { obj => $person2 }});

Look at her go 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module is a sub-class of Text::Sprintf::Named, right? And the whole ~thing~ is that the variables sitting inside the sprintf fields — you know, the ones that look like "%(varname)s" — get read from the accessors (or honestly any other function, no gatekeeping) of the current object.

It's giving "named placeholders but make them object methods." Iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

---

🌸 METHODS 🌸

$formatter->calc_param()

Over-riding the behavior of the equivalent one in Text::Sprintf::Named. (Periodt. That's the whole description.)

$formatter->obj_format($object, \%args)

Formats based on the accessors of the object $object. And, ngl, I don't think %args is used in any way. 💀 Like it's just... there. Sitting pretty. Not doing much. We love a decorative parameter.
