NAME

InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Query - FreeDB query response

SYNOPSIS

require InfoSys::FreeDB;
require InfoSys::FreeDB::Entry;

# Read entry from the default CD device
my $entry = InfoSys::FreeDB::Entry->new_from_cdparanoia();

# Create a HTTP connection
my $fact = InfoSys::FreeDB->new();
my $conn = $fact->create_connection( {
    client_name => 'testing-InfoSys::FreeDB',
    client_version => $InfoSys::FreeDB::VERSION,
} );

# Query FreeDB
my $res_q = $conn->query( $entry );
scalar( $res_q->get_match() ) ||
    die 'no matches found for the disck in the default CD-Rom drive';

# Read the first match
my $res_r = $conn->read( ( $res_q->get_match() )[0] );

# Write the entry to STDERR
use IO::Handle;
my $fh = IO::Handle->new_from_fd( fileno(STDERR), 'w' );
$res_r->get_entry()->write_fh( $fh );

ABSTRACT

FreeDB query response

DESCRIPTION

InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Query contains information about FreeDB query responses.

CONSTRUCTOR

new(OPT_HASH_REF)

Creates a new InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Query object. OPT_HASH_REF is a hash reference used to pass initialization options. OPT_HASH_REF is mandatory. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF may include:

exact_match

Passed to set_exact_match().

match

Passed to set_match(). Must be an ARRAY reference.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF inherited through package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response may include:

code

Passed to set_code(). Mandatory option.

error

Passed to set_error().

result

Passed to set_result(). Mandatory option.

new_from_content_ref(CONTENT_REF)

Creates a new InfoSys::FreeDB::Response::Query object from the specified content reference. CONTENT_REF is a string reference. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

METHODS

exists_match(ARRAY)

Returns the count of items in ARRAY that are in the match list.

get_code()

This method is inherited from package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response. Returns the response code.

get_match( [ INDEX_ARRAY ] )

Returns an ARRAY containing the match list. INDEX_ARRAY is an optional list of indexes which when specified causes only the indexed elements in the ordered list to be returned. If not specified, all elements are returned.

get_result()

This method is inherited from package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response. Returns the response result text.

is_error()

This method is inherited from package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response. Returns whether the response has an error or not.

is_exact_match()

Returns whether the query found an exact match or not.

pop_match()

Pop and return an element off the match list. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

push_match(ARRAY)

Push additional values on the match list. ARRAY is the list value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

The values in ARRAY must be a (sub)class of:
InfoSys::FreeDB::Match
set_code(VALUE)

This method is inherited from package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response. Set the response code. VALUE is the value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

set_error(VALUE)

This method is inherited from package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response. State that the response has an error. VALUE is the value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

set_exact_match(VALUE)

State that the query found an exact match. VALUE is the value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

set_idx_match( INDEX, VALUE )

Set value in the match list. INDEX is the integer index which is greater than or equal to 0. VALUE is the value.

The values in ARRAY must be a (sub)class of:
InfoSys::FreeDB::Match
set_match(ARRAY)

Set the match list absolutely. ARRAY is the list value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

The values in ARRAY must be a (sub)class of:
InfoSys::FreeDB::Match
set_num_match( NUMBER, VALUE )

Set value in the match list. NUMBER is the integer index which is greater than 0. VALUE is the value.

The values in ARRAY must be a (sub)class of:
InfoSys::FreeDB::Match
set_result(VALUE)

This method is inherited from package InfoSys::FreeDB::Response. Set the response result text. VALUE is the value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

shift_match()

Shift and return an element off the match list. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

unshift_match(ARRAY)

Unshift additional values on the match list. ARRAY is the list value. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

The values in ARRAY must be a (sub)class of:
InfoSys::FreeDB::Match
