DESCRIPTION

This module acts as the base class for all Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Iterator classes.

Methods to implement

  • my $iterator=new MyIterator(arguments=>here);

    The default object constructor takes a hash of arguments, and returns a blessed anonymous hash. If you want to do anything other than that you will need to overload this function!

  • while($iterator->has_next) { do something }

    The internals return $self->{has_next}. If you want to do anything other than that you will need to overload this function!

  • my $range=$iterator->get_next;

    Objects returned from this function should extend Data::Range::Compare::Stream::Result::Base

  • my $string=$iterator->to_string;

    Returns the package name of $iterator

  • $iterator->on_consolidate;

    This object needs to be called when ranges are being consolidated.

  • $iterator->delete_from_root($id);

    Deletes $id from $iterator.

  • if($iterator->is_child) { ... }

    Returns true if the object was auto generated by another object.

  • if($iterator->has_child) { ... }

    Returns true if this $iterator auto generated a new iterator object

  • my $id=$iterator->get_column_id

    Returns the column id of this $iterator.

  • $iterator->set_column_id($id);

    Sets the column id of $iterator

  • if($iterator->has_root) { ... }

    Returns true if this $iterator was auto generated by another iterator.

  • my $root=$iterator->get_root;

    Returns the root object if $iterator->has_root is true.

  • my $id=$iterator->get_root_column_id;

    Returns the column_id of the object that auto generated $iterator, returns current column_id of the object was not auto generated.

  • my $child=$iterator->get_child;

    Returns the child object if $iterator->has_child is true.

  • my $id=$iterator->get_child_column_id;

    Returns the child column_id if $iterator->has_child is true.
