YAML::PP::Writer(3)

💜 YAML::PP::Writer — the manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in Perl land, the module is YAML::PP::Writer, and it lives in section 3 of the manual. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

YAML::PP::Writer — literally just: Write YAML output. That's it. That's the job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The bare minimum to get your little writer friend going:

my $writer = YAML::PP::Writer->new;

that's the whole synopsis, no cap. short and iconic. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: the YAML::PP::Emitter sends its output to the writer. That's the relationship. Emitter makes the YAML, writer catches it. 🤝

And the best part? You can absolutely use your own writer if you want to send the YAML output somewhere else. Somewhere exotic. Somewhere unhinged. Your call, bestie. 💖

See t/44.writer.t for an example — that's where the receipts live, go look 👀

🔥 METHODS 🔥

⭐ new

my $writer = YAML::PP::Writer->new;

Constructor. It constructs. That's its whole personality and honestly? relatable. 🌈

⭐ write

$writer->write('- ');

This is the one that actually writes stuff out. Look at it go. '- ' and everything. 😭🔥

⭐ init

$writer->init;

Initialize ✨ — the lil setup moment before things get real.

⭐ finish

$writer->finish;

Gets called when the output ends. It's giving closing ceremony energy. 🎬 Not me getting emotional over a method call.

⭐ output, set_output

Getter/setter for the YAML output. Two methods, one job: get the output, set the output. Slay. 👑

ngl that's the whole page and it ate. short, sweet, fully documented. no skipped sections, we don't do that here 💀
