NAME

Config::MVP::Assembler - multivalue-property config-loading state machine

VERSION

version 0.092080

DESCRIPTION

Config::MVP::Assembler is a helper for constructing a Config::MVP::Sequence object.

TYPICAL USE

my $assembler = Config::MVP::Assembler->new;

# Maybe you want a starting section:
my $section = $assembler->section_class->new({ name => '_' });
$assembler->sequence->add_section($section);

# We'll add some values, which will go to the starting section:
$assembler->add_value(x => 10);
$assembler->add_value(y => 20);

# Change to a new section...
$assembler->change_section($moniker);

# ...and add values to that section.
$assembler->add_value(x => 100);
$assembler->add_value(y => 200);

The code above creates an assembler and populates it step by step. In the end, to get values, you could do something like this:

my @output;

for my $section ($assembler->sequence->sections) {
  push @output, [ $section->name, $section->package, $section->payload ];
}

When changing sections, the given section "moniker" is used for the new section name. The result of passing that moniker to the assembler's "expand_package" method is used as the section's package name. (By default, this method does nothing.) The new section's multivalue_args and aliases are determined by calling the mvp_multivalue_args and mvp_aliases methods on the package.
