NAME
Scrappy::Session - Scrappy Scraper Session Handling
VERSION
version 0.94112090
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl use Scrappy::Session; my $session = Scrappy::Session->new; -f 'scraper.sess' ? $session->load('scraper.sess'); $session->write('scraper.sess'); $session->stash('foo' => 'bar'); $session->stash('abc' => [('a'..'z')]);
DESCRIPTION
Scrappy::Session provides YAML-Based session file handling for saving recorded data across multiple execution using the Scrappy framework. ATTRIBUTES The following is a list of object attributes available with every Scrappy::Session instance. auto_save The auto_save attribute is a boolean that determines whether stash data is automatically saved to the session file on update. my $session = Scrappy::Session->new; $session->load('scraper.sess'); $session->stash('foo' => 'bar'); # turn auto-saving off $session->auto_save(0); $session->stash('foo' => 'bar'); $session->write; # explicit write file The file attribute gets/sets the filename of the current session file. my $session = Scrappy::Session->new; $session->load('scraper.sess'); $session->write('scraper.sess.bak'); $session->file('scraper.sess');
METHODS
load The load method is used to read-in a session file, it returns its data in the structure it was saved-in. my $session = Scrappy::Session->new; my $data = $session->load('scraper.sess'); stash The stash method accesses the stash object which is used to store data to be written to the session file. my $session = Scrappy::Session->new; $session->load('scraper.sess'); $session->stash('foo' => 'bar'); $session->stash('abc' => [('a'..'z')]); $session->stash->{123} = [(1..9)]; write The write method is used to write-out a session file, it saves the data stored in the session stash and it returns the data written upon completion. my $session = Scrappy::Session->new; $session->stash('foo' => 'bar'); $session->stash('abc' => [('a'..'z')]); $session->stash->{123} = [(1..9)]; my $data = $session->write('scraper.sess');
