NAME

Venus::Try - Try Class

ABSTRACT

Try Class for Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  # try something

  return time;
});

$try->catch('Example::Error', sub {
  my ($caught) = @_;

  # caught an error (exception)

  return;
});

$try->default(sub {
  my ($caught) = @_;

  # catch the uncaught

  return;
});

$try->finally(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  # always run after try/catch

  return;
});

my @args;

my $result = $try->result(@args);

DESCRIPTION

This package provides an object-oriented interface for performing complex try/catch operations.

on_try(CodeRef)

This attribute is read-write, accepts (CodeRef) values, and is optional.

INHERITS

This package inherits behaviors from:

Venus::Kind::Utility

METHODS

This package provides the following methods:

call

call(Str | CodeRef $method) (Try)

The call method takes a method name or coderef, registers it as the tryable routine, and returns the object. When invoked, the callback will received an invocant if one was provided to the constructor, the default arguments if any were provided to the constructor, and whatever arguments were provided by the invocant.

Since 0.01

call example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

my $call = $try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

callback

callback(Str | CodeRef $method) (CodeRef)

The callback method takes a method name or coderef, and returns a coderef for registration. If a coderef is provided this method is mostly a passthrough.

Since 0.01

callback example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

my $callback = $try->callback(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

# sub { ... }
callback example 2
package Example1;

sub new {
  bless {};
}

sub test {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
}

package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new(
  invocant => Example1->new,
);

my $callback = $try->callback('test');

# sub { ... }
callback example 3
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

my $callback = $try->callback('missing_method');

# Exception! Venus::Try::Error (isa Venus::Error)

catch

catch(Str $isa, Str | CodeRef $method) (Try)

The catch method takes a package or ref name, and when triggered checks whether the captured exception is of the type specified and if so executes the given callback.

Since 0.01

catch example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  die $try;
});

my $catch = $try->catch('Venus::Try', sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

default

default(Str | CodeRef $method) (Try)

The default method takes a method name or coderef and is triggered if no catch conditions match the exception thrown.

Since 0.01

default example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  die $try;
});

my $default = $try->default(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

error

error(Ref $variable) (Try)

The error method takes a scalar reference and assigns any uncaught exceptions to it during execution.

Since 0.01

error example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  die $try;
});

my $error = $try->error(\my $object);

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

execute

execute(CodeRef $code, Any @args) (Any)

The execute method takes a coderef and executes it with any given arguments. When invoked, the callback will received an invocant if one was provided to the constructor, the default arguments if any were provided to the constructor, and whatever arguments were passed directly to this method. This method can return a list of values in list-context.

Since 0.01

execute example 1
package Example2;

sub new {
  bless {};
}

package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new(
  invocant => Example2->new,
  arguments => [1,2,3],
);

my $execute = $try->execute(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

# [bless({}, "Example2"), 1, 2, 3]

finally

finally(Str | CodeRef $method) (Try)

The finally method takes a package or ref name and always executes the callback after a try/catch operation. The return value is ignored. When invoked, the callback will received an invocant if one was provided to the constructor, the default arguments if any were provided to the constructor, and whatever arguments were provided by the invocant.

Since 0.01

finally example 1
package Example3;

sub new {
  bless {};
}

package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new(
  invocant => Example3->new,
  arguments => [1,2,3],
);

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return $try;
});

my $finally = $try->finally(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  $try->{args} = [@args];
});

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

maybe

maybe() (Try)

The maybe method registers a default catch condition that returns falsy, i.e. an empty string, if an exception is encountered.

Since 0.01

maybe example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  die $try;
});

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

no_catch

no_catch() (Try)

The no_catch method removes any configured catch conditions and returns the object.

Since 0.01

no_catch example 1
package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  die $try;
});

$try->catch('Venus::Try', sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});


my $no_catch = $try->no_catch;

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

my $no_default = $try->no_default;

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

The no_finally method removes any configured finally condition and returns the object.

Since 0.01

package Example4;

sub new {
  bless {};
}

package main;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new(

  my (@args) = @_;

  return $try;
});

$try->finally(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

use Venus::Try;

my $try = Venus::Try->new;

$try->call(sub {
  my (@args) = @_;

  return [@args];
});

my $no_try = $try->no_try;

# bless({ on_catch => ... }, "Venus::Try")

result

result(Any @args) (Any)

The result method executes the try/catch/default/finally logic and returns either 1) the return value from the successfully tried operation 2) the return value from the successfully matched catch condition if an exception was thrown 3) the return value from the default catch condition if an exception was thrown and no catch condition matched. When invoked, the try and finally callbacks will received an invocant if one was provided to the constructor, the default arguments if any were provided to the constructor, and whatever arguments were passed directly to this method. This method can return a list of values in list-context.
