VERSION

Version 3.06

SYNOPSIS

use TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer;

my $data = {
    one => 1,
    two => 2,
    three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
};

my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;

# Write to an array...
$yw->write( $data, \@some_array );

# ...an open file handle...
$yw->write( $data, $some_file_handle );

# ...a string ...
$yw->write( $data, \$some_string );

# ...or a closure
$yw->write( $data, sub {
    my $line = shift;
    print "$line\n";
} );

DESCRIPTION

Encodes a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAMLish.

METHODS

Class Methods

new

my $writer = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;

The constructor new creates and returns an empty TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer object.

Instance Methods

write

$writer->write($obj, $output );

Encode a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAML.

my $writer = sub {
    my $line = shift;
    print SOMEFILE "$line\n";
};

my $data = {
    one => 1,
    two => 2,
    three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
};

my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;
$yw->write( $data, $writer );

The $output argument may be:

• a reference to a scalar to append YAML to

• the handle of an open file

• a reference to an array into which YAML will be pushed

• a code reference

If you supply a code reference the subroutine will be called once for each line of output with the line as its only argument. Passed lines will have no trailing newline.
