Test2::Formatter

EXPERIMENTAL RELEASE

This is an experimental release. Using this right now is not recommended.

DESCRIPTION

This is the namespace for formatters. This is an empty package.

CREATING FORMATTERS

A formatter is any package or object with a "write($event, $num)" method.

    package Test2::Formatter::Foo;
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    sub write {
        my $self_or_class = shift;
        my ($event, $assert_num) = @_;
        ...
    }
    1;

The "write" method is a method, so it either gets a class or instance. The 2 arguments are the $event object it should record, and the $assert_num which is the number of the current assertion (ok), or the last assertion if this even is not itself an assertion. The assertion number may be any inyeger 0 or greator, and may be undefined in some cases.
