=head1 NAME
DateTime::Format::Builder::Parser::Quick - Use another formatter, simply
=head1 VERSION
version 0.83
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::Builder (
parsers => {
parse_datetime => [
{ Quick => 'DateTime::Format::HTTP' },
{ Quick => 'DateTime::Format::Mail' },
{ Quick => 'DateTime::Format::IBeat' },
]
}
);
# is the same as
use DateTime::Format::HTTP;
use DateTime::Format::Mail;
use DateTime::Format::IBeat;
use DateTime::Format::Builder (
parsers => {
parse_datetime => [
sub {
eval { DateTime::Format::HTTP->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) }
},
sub {
eval { DateTime::Format::Mail->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) }
},
sub {
eval { DateTime::Format::IBeat->parse_datetime( $_[1] ) }
},
]
}
);
(These two pieces of code can both be found in the test suite; one as
F<quick.t>, the other as F<fall.t>.)
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Quick> adds a parser that allows some shortcuts when writing fairly standard
and mundane calls to other formatting modules.
=head1 SPECIFICATION
C<Quick> has two keys, one optional.
The C<Quick> keyword should have an argument of either an object or a class
name. If it's a class name then the class is C<use>d.
The C<method> keyword is optional with a default of C<parse_datetime>. It's
either name of the method to invoke on the object, or a reference to a piece
of code.
In any case, the resultant code ends up looking like:
my $rv = $Quick->$method($date);
