NAME

       Eval::TypeTiny::CodeAccumulator - alternative API for Eval::TypeTiny

SYNOPSIS

         my $make_adder = 'Eval::TypeTiny::CodeAccumulator'->new(
           description => 'adder',
         );

         my $n = 40;
         my $varname = $make_adder->add_variable( '$addend' => \$n );

         $make_adder->add_line( 'sub {' );
         $make_adder->increase_indent;
         $make_adder->add_line( 'my $other_addend = shift;' );
         $make_adder->add_gap;
         $make_adder->add_line( 'return ' . $varname . ' + $other_addend;' );
         $make_adder->decrease_indent;
         $make_adder->add_line( '}' );

         my $adder = $make_adder->compile;

         say $adder->( 2 );  ## ==> 42

STATUS

       This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION

   Constructor
       "new( %attrs )"
           The only currently supported attribute is "description".

   Methods
       "env()"
           Returns the current compilation environment, a hashref of variables to close over.

       "code()"
           Returns the source code so far.

       "description()"
           Returns the same description given to the constructor, if any.

       "add_line( @lines_of_code )"
           Adds the next line of code.

       "add_gap()"
           Adds a blank line of code.

       "increase_indent()"
           Increases the indentation level for subsequent lines of code.

       "decrease_indent()"
           Decreases the indentation level for subsequent lines of code.

       "add_variable( $varname, $reference_to_value )"
           Adds a variable to the compilation environment so that the coderef being generated can
           close over it.

           If a variable already exists in the environment with that name, will instead add a
           variable with a different name and return that name. You should always continue to
           refer to the variable with that returned name, just in case.

       "add_placeholder( $placeholder_name )"
           Adds a line of code which is just a comment, but remembers its line number.

       "fill_placeholder( $placeholder_name, @lines_of_code )"
           Goes back to a previously inserted placeholder and replaces it with code.

           As an alternative, "add_placeholder" returns a coderef, which you can call like
           "$callback->( @lines_of_code )".

       "compile()"
           Compiles the code and returns it as a coderef.

       "finalize()"
           This method is called by "compile" just before compiling the code. All it does is
           remove unfilled placeholder comments. It is not intended for end users to call, but is
           documented as it may be a useful hook if you are subclassing this class.
