NAME

Data::Phrasebook::Loader::Ini - Absract your phrases with ini files.

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Phrasebook;

my $q = Data::Phrasebook->new(
    class  => 'Fnerk',
    loader => 'Ini',
    file   => 'phrases.ini',
);

$q->delimiters( qr{ \[% \s* (\w+) \s* %\] }x );
my $phrase = $q->fetch($keyword);

ABSTRACT

This module provides a loader class for phrasebook implementations using INI files.

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a base class for phrasebook implementations.

Phrases can be contained within one or more dictionaries, with each phrase accessible via a unique key. Phrases may contain placeholders, please see Data::Phrasebook for an explanation of how to use these. Groups of phrases are kept in a dictionary. In this implementation a dictionary is considered to be equivilent to a section in an ini file.

An example ini file:

[BASE]
foo=\
  Welcome to [% my %] world. \
  It is a nice [%place %].

Within the phrase text placeholders can be used, which are then replaced with the appropriate values once the get() method is called. The default style of placeholders can be altered using the delimiters() method.

INHERITANCE

Data::Phrasebook::Loader::Ini inherits from the base class Data::Phrasebook::Loader::Base. See that module for other available methods and documentation.

METHODS

load

Given a file, load it. file must contain a INI style layout.

$loader->load( $file, $dict );

This method is used internally by Data::Phrasebook::Generic's data method, to initialise the data store.

It must take a file (be it a scalar, or something more complex) and return a handle.

get

Returns the phrase stored in the phrasebook, for a given keyword.

my $value = $loader->get( $key );
