🎀 NAME 🎀

Test::Smoke::App::AppOptionCollection — bestie, it's literally just a collection of AppOption objects. That's it, that's the whole gig. 💅

(It lives in section 3 of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, in case you were wondering where to find her. 🦋)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: you've got a bunch of Test::Smoke::App::AppOption objects and nowhere cute to put them. Enter AppOptionCollection. She holds them. She hands them back. She's the friend group of data structures. 🫶

Let's go method by method, no skipping, periodt.

🌸 Test::Smoke::App::AppOptionCollection->new()

The constructor, the origin story, the main character. ✨

Arguments

An optional list of Test::Smoke::App::AppOption objects. Optional!! So you can pass zero, or a whole squad. Your call, queen. 💜

Returns

An instatiated object. (Yeah, that spelling is the source's, not mine, I would never 💀 — the object itself is fully alive and thriving tho.)

Exceptions

None. Not a single one. So chill. 🍓

🌸 $collection->add(@arguments)

Adds the Getopt::Long option and its default to the collection. She also adds the Test::Smoke::App::AppOption-show_helptext()> — yes, that's written exactly like that in the source, I am not touching it, no cap 🙈 — to the running helptext variable.

Arguments

A list of Test::Smoke::App::AppOption objects.

Returns

The object. She gives herself back so you can chain. Iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

Exceptions

None.

🌸 $collection->add_helptext($string)

Adds a string to the currently build up helptext variable. (And "build up" is the original's wording too, I'm just the messenger 🧚)

🌸 $collection->options_with_default()

Arguments

None

Returns

A hasref to a struct with only the defaults set from object construction. (Again: source spelling, I'm being faithful, don't come for me 😭)

🌸 $collection->options_for_cli()

Arguments

None

Returns

A hashref with options that have a CODEref as default.

Exceptions

None

🌸 $collection->all_options()

Arguments

None.

Returns

A hashref with all options and theire coded default.

Exceptions

None.
