| 6 | |||||
| 7 | Params::Util - Simple, compact and correct param-checking functions | ||||
| 8 | |||||
| 9 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | ||||
| 10 | |||||
| 11 | # Import some functions | ||||
| 12 | use Params::Util qw{_SCALAR _HASH _INSTANCE}; | ||||
| 13 | |||||
| 14 | # If you are lazy, or need a lot of them... | ||||
| 15 | use Params::Util ':ALL'; | ||||
| 16 | |||||
| 17 | sub foo { | ||||
| 18 | my $object = _INSTANCE(shift, 'Foo') or return undef; | ||||
| 19 | my $image = _SCALAR(shift) or return undef; | ||||
| 20 | my $options = _HASH(shift) or return undef; | ||||
| 21 | # etc... | ||||
| 22 | } | ||||
| 23 | |||||
| 24 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||||
| 25 | |||||
| 26 | C<Params::Util> provides a basic set of importable functions that makes | ||||
| 27 | checking parameters a hell of a lot easier | ||||
| 28 | |||||
| 29 | While they can be (and are) used in other contexts, the main point | ||||
| 30 | behind this module is that the functions B<both> Do What You Mean, | ||||
| 31 | and Do The Right Thing, so they are most useful when you are getting | ||||
| 32 | params passed into your code from someone and/or somewhere else | ||||
| 33 | and you can't really trust the quality. | ||||
| 34 | |||||
| 35 | Thus, C<Params::Util> is of most use at the edges of your API, where | ||||
| 36 | params and data are coming in from outside your code. | ||||
| 37 | |||||
| 38 | The functions provided by C<Params::Util> check in the most strictly | ||||
| 39 | correct manner known, are documented as thoroughly as possible so their | ||||
| 40 | exact behaviour is clear, and heavily tested so make sure they are not | ||||
| 41 | fooled by weird data and Really Bad Things. | ||||
| 42 | |||||
| 43 | To use, simply load the module providing the functions you want to use | ||||
| 44 | as arguments (as shown in the SYNOPSIS). | ||||
| 45 | |||||
| 46 | To aid in maintainability, C<Params::Util> will B<never> export by | ||||
| 47 | default. | ||||
| 48 | |||||
| 49 | You must explicitly name the functions you want to export, or use the | ||||
| 50 | C<:ALL> param to just have it export everything (although this is not | ||||
| 51 | recommended if you have any _FOO functions yourself with which future | ||||
| 52 | additions to C<Params::Util> may clash) | ||||

| 91 | |||||
| 92 | =pod | ||||
| 93 | |||||
| 94 | =head2 _STRING $string | ||||
| 95 | |||||
| 96 | The C<_STRING> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 97 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 98 | a normal non-false string of non-zero length. | ||||
| 99 | |||||
| 100 | Note that this will NOT do anything magic to deal with the special | ||||
| 101 | C<'0'> false negative case, but will return it. | ||||
| 102 | |||||
| 103 | # '0' not considered valid data | ||||
| 104 | my $name = _STRING(shift) or die "Bad name"; | ||||
| 105 | |||||
| 106 | # '0' is considered valid data | ||||
| 107 | my $string = _STRING($_[0]) ? shift : die "Bad string"; | ||||
| 108 | |||||
| 109 | Please also note that this function expects a normal string. It does | ||||
| 110 | not support overloading or other magic techniques to get a string. | ||||
| 111 | |||||
| 112 | Returns the string as a convenience if it is a valid string, or | ||||
| 113 | C<undef> if not. | ||||
| 114 | |||||
| 115 | =head2 _IDENTIFIER $string | ||||
| 116 | |||||
| 117 | The C<_IDENTIFIER> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 118 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 119 | a string that is a valid Perl identifier. | ||||
| 120 | |||||
| 121 | Returns the string as a convenience if it is a valid identifier, or | ||||
| 122 | C<undef> if not. | ||||
| 123 | |||||
| 124 | =head2 _CLASS $string | ||||
| 125 | |||||
| 126 | The C<_CLASS> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 127 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 128 | a string that is a valid Perl class. | ||||
| 129 | |||||
| 130 | This function only checks that the format is valid, not that the | ||||
| 131 | class is actually loaded. It also assumes "normalized" form, and does | ||||
| 132 | not accept class names such as C<::Foo> or C<D'Oh>. | ||||
| 133 | |||||
| 134 | Returns the string as a convenience if it is a valid class name, or | ||||
| 135 | C<undef> if not. | ||||
| 136 | |||||
| 137 | =head2 _CLASSISA $string, $class | ||||
| 138 | |||||
| 139 | The C<_CLASSISA> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 140 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 141 | a string that is a particularly class, or a subclass of it. | ||||
| 142 | |||||
| 143 | This function checks that the format is valid and calls the -E<gt>isa | ||||
| 144 | method on the class name. It does not check that the class is actually | ||||
| 145 | loaded. | ||||
| 146 | |||||
| 147 | It also assumes "normalized" form, and does | ||||
| 148 | not accept class names such as C<::Foo> or C<D'Oh>. | ||||
| 149 | |||||
| 150 | Returns the string as a convenience if it is a valid class name, or | ||||
| 151 | C<undef> if not. | ||||
| 152 | |||||
| 153 | =head2 _CLASSDOES $string, $role | ||||
| 154 | |||||
| 155 | This routine behaves exactly like C<L</_CLASSISA>>, but checks with C<< ->DOES | ||||
| 156 | >> rather than C<< ->isa >>. This is probably only a good idea to use on Perl | ||||
| 157 | 5.10 or later, when L<UNIVERSAL::DOES|UNIVERSAL::DOES/DOES> has been | ||||
| 158 | implemented. | ||||
| 159 | |||||
| 160 | =head2 _SUBCLASS $string, $class | ||||
| 161 | |||||
| 162 | The C<_SUBCLASS> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 163 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 164 | a string that is a subclass of a specified class. | ||||
| 165 | |||||
| 166 | This function checks that the format is valid and calls the -E<gt>isa | ||||
| 167 | method on the class name. It does not check that the class is actually | ||||
| 168 | loaded. | ||||
| 169 | |||||
| 170 | It also assumes "normalized" form, and does | ||||
| 171 | not accept class names such as C<::Foo> or C<D'Oh>. | ||||
| 172 | |||||
| 173 | Returns the string as a convenience if it is a valid class name, or | ||||
| 174 | C<undef> if not. | ||||
| 175 | |||||
| 176 | =head2 _NUMBER $scalar | ||||
| 177 | |||||
| 178 | The C<_NUMBER> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 179 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 180 | a number. That is, it is defined and perl thinks it's a number. | ||||
| 181 | |||||
| 182 | This function is basically a Params::Util-style wrapper around the | ||||
| 183 | L<Scalar::Util> C<looks_like_number> function. | ||||
| 184 | |||||
| 185 | Returns the value as a convenience, or C<undef> if the value is not a | ||||
| 186 | number. | ||||
| 187 | |||||
| 188 | =head2 _POSINT $integer | ||||
| 189 | |||||
| 190 | The C<_POSINT> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 191 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 192 | a positive integer (of any length). | ||||
| 193 | |||||
| 194 | Returns the value as a convenience, or C<undef> if the value is not a | ||||
| 195 | positive integer. | ||||
| 196 | |||||
| 197 | The name itself is derived from the XML schema constraint of the same | ||||
| 198 | name. | ||||
| 199 | |||||
| 200 | =head2 _NONNEGINT $integer | ||||
| 201 | |||||
| 202 | The C<_NONNEGINT> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 203 | package, and provides a convenient way to test to see if a value is | ||||
| 204 | a non-negative integer (of any length). That is, a positive integer, | ||||
| 205 | or zero. | ||||
| 206 | |||||
| 207 | Returns the value as a convenience, or C<undef> if the value is not a | ||||
| 208 | non-negative integer. | ||||
| 209 | |||||
| 210 | As with other tests that may return false values, care should be taken | ||||
| 211 | to test via "defined" in boolean validly contexts. | ||||
| 212 | |||||
| 213 | unless ( defined _NONNEGINT($value) ) { | ||||
| 214 | die "Invalid value"; | ||||
| 215 | } | ||||
| 216 | |||||
| 217 | The name itself is derived from the XML schema constraint of the same | ||||
| 218 | name. | ||||
| 219 | |||||
| 220 | =head2 _SCALAR \$scalar | ||||
| 221 | |||||
| 222 | The C<_SCALAR> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 223 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 224 | C<SCALAR> reference, with content of non-zero length. | ||||
| 225 | |||||
| 226 | For a version that allows zero length C<SCALAR> references, see | ||||
| 227 | the C<_SCALAR0> function. | ||||
| 228 | |||||
| 229 | Returns the C<SCALAR> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 230 | if the value provided is not a C<SCALAR> reference. | ||||
| 231 | |||||
| 232 | =head2 _SCALAR0 \$scalar | ||||
| 233 | |||||
| 234 | The C<_SCALAR0> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 235 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 236 | C<SCALAR0> reference, allowing content of zero-length. | ||||
| 237 | |||||
| 238 | For a simpler "give me some content" version that requires non-zero | ||||
| 239 | length, C<_SCALAR> function. | ||||
| 240 | |||||
| 241 | Returns the C<SCALAR> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 242 | if the value provided is not a C<SCALAR> reference. | ||||
| 243 | |||||
| 244 | =head2 _ARRAY $value | ||||
| 245 | |||||
| 246 | The C<_ARRAY> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 247 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 248 | C<ARRAY> reference containing B<at least> one element of any kind. | ||||
| 249 | |||||
| 250 | For a more basic form that allows zero length ARRAY references, see | ||||
| 251 | the C<_ARRAY0> function. | ||||
| 252 | |||||
| 253 | Returns the C<ARRAY> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 254 | if the value provided is not an C<ARRAY> reference. | ||||
| 255 | |||||
| 256 | =head2 _ARRAY0 $value | ||||
| 257 | |||||
| 258 | The C<_ARRAY0> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 259 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 260 | C<ARRAY> reference, allowing C<ARRAY> references that contain no | ||||
| 261 | elements. | ||||
| 262 | |||||
| 263 | For a more basic "An array of something" form that also requires at | ||||
| 264 | least one element, see the C<_ARRAY> function. | ||||
| 265 | |||||
| 266 | Returns the C<ARRAY> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 267 | if the value provided is not an C<ARRAY> reference. | ||||
| 268 | |||||
| 269 | =head2 _ARRAYLIKE $value | ||||
| 270 | |||||
| 271 | The C<_ARRAYLIKE> function tests whether a given scalar value can respond to | ||||
| 272 | array dereferencing. If it can, the value is returned. If it cannot, | ||||
| 273 | C<_ARRAYLIKE> returns C<undef>. | ||||
| 274 | |||||
| 275 | =head2 _HASH $value | ||||
| 276 | |||||
| 277 | The C<_HASH> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 278 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 279 | C<HASH> reference with at least one entry. | ||||
| 280 | |||||
| 281 | For a version of this function that allows the C<HASH> to be empty, | ||||
| 282 | see the C<_HASH0> function. | ||||
| 283 | |||||
| 284 | Returns the C<HASH> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 285 | if the value provided is not an C<HASH> reference. | ||||
| 286 | |||||
| 287 | =head2 _HASH0 $value | ||||
| 288 | |||||
| 289 | The C<_HASH0> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 290 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 291 | C<HASH> reference, regardless of the C<HASH> content. | ||||
| 292 | |||||
| 293 | For a simpler "A hash of something" version that requires at least one | ||||
| 294 | element, see the C<_HASH> function. | ||||
| 295 | |||||
| 296 | Returns the C<HASH> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 297 | if the value provided is not an C<HASH> reference. | ||||
| 298 | |||||
| 299 | =head2 _HASHLIKE $value | ||||
| 300 | |||||
| 301 | The C<_HASHLIKE> function tests whether a given scalar value can respond to | ||||
| 302 | hash dereferencing. If it can, the value is returned. If it cannot, | ||||
| 303 | C<_HASHLIKE> returns C<undef>. | ||||
| 304 | |||||
| 305 | =head2 _CODE $value | ||||
| 306 | |||||
| 307 | The C<_CODE> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 308 | and provides a convenient way to test for a raw and unblessed | ||||
| 309 | C<CODE> reference. | ||||
| 310 | |||||
| 311 | Returns the C<CODE> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> | ||||
| 312 | if the value provided is not an C<CODE> reference. | ||||
| 313 | |||||
| 314 | =head2 _CODELIKE $value | ||||
| 315 | |||||
| 316 | The C<_CODELIKE> is the more generic version of C<_CODE>. Unlike C<_CODE>, | ||||
| 317 | which checks for an explicit C<CODE> reference, the C<_CODELIKE> function | ||||
| 318 | also includes things that act like them, such as blessed objects that | ||||
| 319 | overload C<'&{}'>. | ||||
| 320 | |||||
| 321 | Please note that in the case of objects overloaded with '&{}', you will | ||||
| 322 | almost always end up also testing it in 'bool' context at some stage. | ||||
| 323 | |||||
| 324 | For example: | ||||
| 325 | |||||
| 326 | sub foo { | ||||
| 327 | my $code1 = _CODELIKE(shift) or die "No code param provided"; | ||||
| 328 | my $code2 = _CODELIKE(shift); | ||||
| 329 | if ( $code2 ) { | ||||
| 330 | print "Got optional second code param"; | ||||
| 331 | } | ||||
| 332 | } | ||||
| 333 | |||||
| 334 | As such, you will most likely always want to make sure your class has | ||||
| 335 | at least the following to allow it to evaluate to true in boolean | ||||
| 336 | context. | ||||
| 337 | |||||
| 338 | # Always evaluate to true in boolean context | ||||
| 339 | use overload 'bool' => sub () { 1 }; | ||||
| 340 | |||||
| 341 | Returns the callable value as a convenience, or C<undef> if the | ||||
| 342 | value provided is not callable. | ||||
| 343 | |||||
| 344 | Note - This function was formerly known as _CALLABLE but has been renamed | ||||
| 345 | for greater symmetry with the other _XXXXLIKE functions. | ||||
| 346 | |||||
| 347 | The use of _CALLABLE has been deprecated. It will continue to work, but | ||||
| 348 | with a warning, until end-2006, then will be removed. | ||||
| 349 | |||||
| 350 | I apologize for any inconvenience caused. | ||||
| 351 | |||||
| 352 | =head2 _INVOCANT $value | ||||
| 353 | |||||
| 354 | This routine tests whether the given value is a valid method invocant. | ||||
| 355 | This can be either an instance of an object, or a class name. | ||||
| 356 | |||||
| 357 | If so, the value itself is returned. Otherwise, C<_INVOCANT> | ||||
| 358 | returns C<undef>. | ||||
| 359 | |||||
| 360 | =head2 _INSTANCE $object, $class | ||||
| 361 | |||||
| 362 | The C<_INSTANCE> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 363 | and provides a convenient way to test for an object of a particular class | ||||
| 364 | in a strictly correct manner. | ||||
| 365 | |||||
| 366 | Returns the object itself as a convenience, or C<undef> if the value | ||||
| 367 | provided is not an object of that type. | ||||
| 368 | |||||
| 369 | =head2 _INSTANCEDOES $object, $role | ||||
| 370 | |||||
| 371 | This routine behaves exactly like C<L</_INSTANCE>>, but checks with C<< ->DOES | ||||
| 372 | >> rather than C<< ->isa >>. This is probably only a good idea to use on Perl | ||||
| 373 | 5.10 or later, when L<UNIVERSAL::DOES|UNIVERSAL::DOES/DOES> has been | ||||
| 374 | implemented. | ||||
| 375 | |||||
| 376 | =head2 _REGEX $value | ||||
| 377 | |||||
| 378 | The C<_REGEX> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 379 | and provides a convenient way to test for a regular expression. | ||||
| 380 | |||||
| 381 | Returns the value itself as a convenience, or C<undef> if the value | ||||
| 382 | provided is not a regular expression. | ||||
| 383 | |||||
| 384 | =head2 _SET \@array, $class | ||||
| 385 | |||||
| 386 | The C<_SET> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 387 | and provides a convenient way to test for set of at least one object of | ||||
| 388 | a particular class in a strictly correct manner. | ||||
| 389 | |||||
| 390 | The set is provided as a reference to an C<ARRAY> of objects of the | ||||
| 391 | class provided. | ||||
| 392 | |||||
| 393 | For an alternative function that allows zero-length sets, see the | ||||
| 394 | C<_SET0> function. | ||||
| 395 | |||||
| 396 | Returns the C<ARRAY> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> if | ||||
| 397 | the value provided is not a set of that class. | ||||
| 398 | |||||
| 399 | =head2 _SET0 \@array, $class | ||||
| 400 | |||||
| 401 | The C<_SET0> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 402 | and provides a convenient way to test for a set of objects of a | ||||
| 403 | particular class in a strictly correct manner, allowing for zero objects. | ||||
| 404 | |||||
| 405 | The set is provided as a reference to an C<ARRAY> of objects of the | ||||
| 406 | class provided. | ||||
| 407 | |||||
| 408 | For an alternative function that requires at least one object, see the | ||||
| 409 | C<_SET> function. | ||||
| 410 | |||||
| 411 | Returns the C<ARRAY> reference itself as a convenience, or C<undef> if | ||||
| 412 | the value provided is not a set of that class. | ||||
| 413 | |||||
| 414 | =head2 _HANDLE | ||||
| 415 | |||||
| 416 | The C<_HANDLE> function is intended to be imported into your package, | ||||
| 417 | and provides a convenient way to test whether or not a single scalar | ||||
| 418 | value is a file handle. | ||||
| 419 | |||||
| 420 | Unfortunately, in Perl the definition of a file handle can be a little | ||||
| 421 | bit fuzzy, so this function is likely to be somewhat imperfect (at first | ||||
| 422 | anyway). | ||||
| 423 | |||||
| 424 | That said, it is implement as well or better than the other file handle | ||||
| 425 | detectors in existence (and we stole from the best of them). | ||||
| 426 | |||||
| 427 | =head2 _DRIVER $string | ||||
| 428 | |||||
| 429 | sub foo { | ||||
| 430 | my $class = _DRIVER(shift, 'My::Driver::Base') or die "Bad driver"; | ||||
| 431 | ... | ||||
| 432 | } | ||||
| 433 | |||||
| 434 | The C<_DRIVER> function is intended to be imported into your | ||||
| 435 | package, and provides a convenient way to load and validate | ||||
| 436 | a driver class. | ||||
| 437 | |||||
| 438 | The most common pattern when taking a driver class as a parameter | ||||
| 439 | is to check that the name is a class (i.e. check against _CLASS) | ||||
| 440 | and then to load the class (if it exists) and then ensure that | ||||
| 441 | the class returns true for the isa method on some base driver name. | ||||
| 442 | |||||
| 443 | Return the value as a convenience, or C<undef> if the value is not | ||||
| 444 | a class name, the module does not exist, the module does not load, | ||||
| 445 | or the class fails the isa test. | ||||
| 446 | |||||
| 447 | =head1 TO DO | ||||
| 448 | |||||
| 449 | - Add _CAN to help resolve the UNIVERSAL::can debacle | ||||
| 450 | |||||
| 451 | - Implement an assertion-like version of this module, that dies on | ||||
| 452 | error. | ||||
| 453 | |||||
| 454 | - Implement a Test:: version of this module, for use in testing | ||||
