VERSION

version 0.025

SYNOPSIS

# defining the fact class
package MyFact;
use Metabase::Fact::String;
our @ISA = qw/Metabase::Fact::String/;

sub content_metadata {
  my $self = shift;
  return {
    'size' => [ '//num' => length $self->content ],
  };
}

sub validate_content {
  my $self = shift;
  $self->SUPER::validate_content;
  die __PACKAGE__ . " content length must be greater than zero\n"
    if length $self->content < 0;
}

...and then...

# using the fact class
my $fact = MyFact->new(
  resource => 'RJBS/Metabase-Fact-0.001.tar.gz',
  content  => "Hello World",
);

$client->send_fact($fact);

DESCRIPTION

Base class for facts that are just strings of text. Strings must be characters, not bytes.

You may wish to implement a content_metadata method to generate metadata about the hash contents.

You should also implement a validate_content method to validate the structure of the hash you're given.
