NAME

YAML::Active::Plugin::Hash - Base class for hash plugins

SYNOPSIS

None.

DESCRIPTION

None yet.

METHODS

__hash
my %hash     = $obj->__hash;
my $hash_ref = $obj->__hash;
my $value    = $obj->__hash($key);
my @values   = $obj->__hash([ qw(foo bar) ]);
$obj->__hash(%other_hash);
$obj->__hash(foo => 23, bar => 42);

Get or set the hash values. If called without arguments, it returns the hash in list context, or a reference to the hash in scalar context. If called with a list of key/value pairs, it sets each key to its corresponding value, then returns the hash as described before.

If called with exactly one key, it returns the corresponding value.

If called with exactly one array reference, it returns an array whose elements are the values corresponding to the keys in the argument array, in the same order. The resulting list is returned as an array in list context, or a reference to the array in scalar context.

If called with exactly one hash reference, it updates the hash with the given key/value pairs, then returns the hash in list context, or a reference to the hash in scalar context.

__hash_clear
$obj->__hash_clear;

Deletes all keys and values from the hash.

__hash_delete
$obj->__hash_delete(@keys);

Takes a list of keys and deletes those keys from the hash.

__hash_exists
if ($obj->__hash_exists($key)) { ... }

Takes a key and returns a true value if the key exists in the hash, and a false value otherwise.

__hash_keys
my @keys = $obj->__hash_keys;

Returns a list of all hash keys in no particular order.

__hash_values
my @values = $obj->__hash_values;

Returns a list of all hash values in no particular order.

clear___hash
$obj->clear___hash;

Deletes all keys and values from the hash.

delete___hash
$obj->delete___hash(@keys);

Takes a list of keys and deletes those keys from the hash.

exists___hash
if ($obj->exists___hash($key)) { ... }

Takes a key and returns a true value if the key exists in the hash, and a false value otherwise.

keys___hash
my @keys = $obj->keys___hash;

Returns a list of all hash keys in no particular order.

values___hash
my @values = $obj->values___hash;

Returns a list of all hash values in no particular order.
