NAME

Protobuf::WKT::Duration - Mixin for google.protobuf.Duration

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

# In your .proto
import "google/protobuf/duration.proto";

message MyEvent {
  google.protobuf.Duration elapsed = 1;
}

# In your Perl code
my $event = MyEvent->new;
my $duration = $event->elapsed;

# Setting from seconds
$duration->from_seconds(1.5);
# $duration->seconds is 1, $duration->nanos is 500,000,000

# Getting total seconds
my $total_seconds = $duration->to_seconds(); # Returns 1.5

DESCRIPTION

This module provides helper methods for the generated class corresponding to the google.protobuf.Duration Well-Known Type. These methods are injected into the Protobuf::WKT::Duration class, which should be automatically used when google/protobuf/duration.proto is processed.

The Duration type represents a signed, fixed-length span of time.

METHODS

to_seconds()

Returns the total duration in seconds as a floating-point number (seconds + nanos / 1e9).

from_seconds($seconds)

Sets the seconds and nanos fields from a total number of seconds (can be fractional).

Returns $self for chaining.

get_injected_methods()

Internal method used by Protobuf::ClassGenerator to list methods to inject into the class.
