DESCRIPTION
This module creates an object that will explore (depth first) a configuration tree.
For each part of the configuration tree, ObjTreeScanner object will call one of the
subroutine reference passed during construction. (a call-back or a hook)
Call-back and hook routines will be called:
• For each node containing elements (including root node)
• For each element of a node. This element can be a list, hash, node or simple leaf
element.
• For each item contained in a node, hash or list. This item can be a simple leaf or
another node.
To continue the exploration, these call-backs must also call the scanner. (i.e. perform
another call-back). In other words the user's subroutine and the scanner play a game of
ping-pong until the tree is completely explored.
Hooks routines are not required to resume the exploration, i.e. to call the scanner. This
will be done after the hook routine has returned.
The scanner provides a set of default callback for the nodes. This way, the user only have
to provide call-backs for the leaves.
The scan is started with a call to "scan_node". The first parameter of scan_node is a ref
that is passed untouched to all call-back. This ref may be used to store whatever result
you want.
CONSTRUCTOR
new ( ... )
One way or another, the ObjTreeScanner object must be able to find all callback for all
the items of the tree. All the possible call-back and hooks are listed below:
leaf callback:
"leaf_cb" is a catch-all generic callback. All other are specialized call-back :
"enum_value_cb", "integer_value_cb", "number_value_cb", "boolean_value_cb",
"string_value_cb", "uniline_value_cb", "reference_value_cb"
node callback:
"node_content_cb" , "node_dispatch_cb"
node hooks:
"node_content_hook"
element callback:
All these call-backs are called on the elements of a node: "list_element_cb",
"check_list_element_cb", "hash_element_cb", "node_element_cb", "node_content_cb".
element hooks:
"list_element_hook", "hash_element_hook".
The user may specify all of them by passing a sub ref to the constructor:
$scan = Config::Model::ObjTreeScanner-> new
(
list_element_cb => sub { ... },
...
)
Or use some default callback using the fallback parameter. Note that at least one callback
must be provided: "leaf_cb".
Optional parameter:
fallback
If set to "node", the scanner will provide default call-back for node items. If set to
"leaf", the scanner will set all leaf callback (like enum_value_cb ...) to
string_value_cb or to the mandatory leaf_cb value. "fallback" callback will not
override callbacks provided by the user.
If set to "all" , the scanner provides fallbacks for leaf and node. By default, all
fallback are provided.
auto_vivify
Whether to create configuration objects while scanning (default is 1).
check
"yes", "no" or "skip".
Callback prototypes
Leaf callback
"leaf_cb" is called for each leaf of the tree. The leaf callback will be called with the
following parameters:
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,$index, $leaf_object)
where:
• $scanner is the scanner object.
• $data_ref is a reference that is first passed to the first call of the scanner. Then
$data_ref is relayed through the various call-backs
• $node is the node that contain the leaf.
• $element_name is the element (or attribute) that contain the leaf.
• $index is the index (or hash key) used to get the leaf. This may be undefined if the
element type is scalar.
• $leaf_object is a Config::Model::Value object.
List element callback
"list_element_cb" is called on all list element of a node, i.e. call on the list object
itself and not in the elements contained in the list.
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,@indexes)
@indexes is a list containing all the indexes of the list.
Example:
sub my_list_element_cb {
my ($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,@idx) = @_ ;
# custom code using $data_ref
# resume exploration (if needed)
map {$scanner->scan_list($data_ref,$node,$element_name,$_)} @idx ;
# note: scan_list and scan_hash are equivalent
}
List element hook
"list_element_hook": Works like the list element callback. Except that the calls to
"scan_list" are not required. This will be done once the hook returns.
Check list element callback
"check_list_element_cb": Like "list_element_cb", but called on a check_list element.
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,@check_items)
@check_items is a list containing all the items of the check_list.
Hash element callback
"hash_element_cb": Like "list_element_cb", but called on a hash element.
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,@keys)
@keys is an list containing all the keys of the hash.
Example:
sub my_hash_element_cb {
my ($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,@keys) = @_ ;
# custom code using $data_ref
# resume exploration
map {$scanner->scan_hash($data_ref,$node,$element_name,$_)} @keys ;
}
Hash element hook
"hash_element_hook": Works like the hash element callback. Except that the calls to
"scan_hash" are not required. This will be done once the hook returns.
Node content callback
"node_content_cb": This call-back is called foreach node (including root node).
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,@element_list)
@element_list contains all the element names of the node.
Example:
sub my_content_cb {
my ($scanner, $data_ref,$node,@element) = @_ ;
# custom code using $data_ref
# resume exploration
map {$scanner->scan_element($data_ref, $node,$_)} @element ;
}
Node content hook
"node_content_hook": This hook is called foreach node (including root node). Works like
the node content call-back. Except that the calls to "scan_element" are not required. This
will be done once the hook returns.
Dispatch node callback
"node_dispatch_cb": Any callback specified in the hash will be called for each instance of
the specified configuration class. (this may include the root node).
For instance, if you have:
node_dispach_cb => {
ClassA => \&my_class_a_dispatch_cb,
ClassB => \&my_class_b_dispatch_cb,
}
&my_class_a_dispatch_cb will be called for each instance of "ClassA" and
&my_class_b_dispatch_cb will be called for each instance of "ClassB".
They will be called with the following parameters:
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,@element_list)
@element_list contains all the element names of the node.
Example:
sub my_class_a_dispatch_cb = {
my ($scanner, $data_ref,$node,@element) = @_ ;
# custom code using $data_ref
# resume exploration
map {$scanner->scan_element($data_ref, $node,$_)} @element ;
}
Node element callback
"node_element_cb" is called for each node contained within a node (i.e not with root
node). This node can be held by a plain element or a hash element or a list element:
($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,$key, $contained_node)
$key may be undef if $contained_node is not a part of a hash or a list. $element_name and
$key specifies the element name and key of the the contained node you want to scan.
(passed with $contained_node) Note that $contained_node may be undef if "auto_vivify" is
0.
Example:
sub my_node_element_cb {
my ($scanner, $data_ref,$node,$element_name,$key, $contained_node) = @_;
# your custom code using $data_ref
# explore next node
$scanner->scan_node($data_ref,$contained_node);
}
METHODS
scan_node ($data_r,$node)
Explore the node and call either "node_dispatch_cb" (if the node class name matches the
dispatch_node hash) or (e.g. xor) "node_element_cb" passing all element names.
After the first callback has returned, "up_cb" will be called.
scan_element($data_r,$node,$element_name)
Explore the element and call either "hash_element_cb", "list_element_cb",
"node_content_cb" or a leaf call-back (the leaf call-back called depends on the Value
object properties: enum, string, integer and so on)
scan_hash ($data_r,$node,$element_name,$key)
Explore the hash member (or hash value) and call either "node_content_cb" or a leaf call-
back.
scan_list ($data_r,$node,$element_name,$index)
Just like "scan_hash": Explore the list member and call either "node_content_cb" or a leaf
call-back.
get_keys ($node, $element_name)
Returns an list containing the sorted keys of a hash element or returns an list containing
(0.. last_index) of an list element.
Throws an exception if element is not an list or a hash element.
