NAME
OpenInteract2::Constants - Define codes used throughout OpenInteract
SYNOPSIS
# Just bring in a couple
use OpenInteract2::Constants qw( OI_OK OI_ERROR LOG_ACTION );
# Bring in all OI status constants
use OpenInteract2::Constants qw( :oi );
# Bring in all logging constants
use OpenInteract2::Constants qw( :log );
# Open the gates, bring them all in
use OpenInteract2::Constants qw( :all );
# Using constants when generating content
sub blah {
return ( "I'm the man!", OI_OK );
}
sub barf {
return ( "So it goes, I've failed", OI_ERROR );
}DESCRIPTION
This module defines constants used throughout OpenInteract. Most often you will see the various status constants returned from actions that generate content.
Logging Constants
The different logging levels are listed below in order from highest to lowest. The low levels include all other levels above them. See OpenInteract2::Context for how the different levels are used in conjunction with the log() method of the context object.
LALL
The LALL level has the highest possible rank and is intended to turn on all logging.
LDEBUG
The LDEBUG level designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
LINFO
The LINFO level designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
LWARN
The LWARN level designates potentially harmful situations.
LERROR
The LERROR level designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running.
LFATAL
The LFATAL level designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort.
LOFF
The LOFF level has the lowest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.
File Constants
These are default filenames and directories for various items in OI2:
BASE_CONF_DIR: This is the default directory under the website where you can find the base configuration. This is normally 'conf'.
BASE_CONF_FILE: This is the default filename for the base configuration. It is normally 'base.conf'.
Template Keys
Agreed-upon strings used for storing standard items in template variables.
ACTION_KEY: Retrieve the action spawning this generation request
REQUEST_KEY: Retrieve the OpenInteract2::Request object
RESPONSE_KEY: Retrieve the OpenInteract2::Response object
TODO: Do we need request/response?
METHODS
None, just exported constants.
