NAME

       Path::IsDev::Result - Result container

VERSION

       version 1.000002

SYNOPSIS

           use Path::IsDev::Result;

           my $result = Path::IsDev::Result->new( path => '/some/path/that/exists' ):

           if ( $heuristcset->matches( $result ) ) {
               print Dumper($result);
           }

DESCRIPTION

       This is a reasonably new internal component for Path::IsDev.

       Its purpose is to communicate state between internal things, and give some sort of
       introspectable context for why things happened in various places without resorting to
       spamming debug everywhere.

       Now instead of turning on debug, as long as you can get a result, you can inspect and dump
       that result at the point you need it.

METHODS

   "BUILD"
   "add_reason"
       Call this method from a heuristic to record checking of the heuristic and the relevant
       meta-data.

           $result->add_reason( $heuristic, $matchvalue, $reason_summary, \%contextinfo );

       For example:

           sub Foo::matches  {
               my ( $self , $result_object ) = @_;
               if ( $result_object->path->child('bar')->exists ) {
                   $result_object->add_reason( $self, 1, "child 'bar' exists" , {
                       child => 'bar',
                       'exists?' => 1,
                       child_path => $result_object->path->child('bar')
                   });
                   $result_object->result(1);
                   return 1;
               }
               return;
           }

       Note that here, $matchvalue should be the result of the relevant matching logic, not the
       global impact.

       For instance, "excludes" compositions should still add reasons of "$matchvalue == 1", but
       they should not set "$result_object->result(1)". ( In fact, setting "result" is the job of
       the individual heuristic, not the matches that are folded into it )
