NAME

Kavorka::Signature - a function signature

DESCRIPTION

Kavorka::Signature is a class where each instance represents a function signature. This class is used to parse the function signature, and also to inject Perl code into the final function.

Instances of this class are also returned by Kavorka's function introspection API.

Introspection API

A signature instance has the following methods. Each method which returns parameters, returns an instance of Kavorka::Signature::Parameter.

package

Returns the package name the parameter was declared in.

params

Returns an arrayref of parameters.

has_invocants, invocants

Returns a boolean/list of invocant parameters.

positional_params

Returns a list of positional parameters.

has_named, named_params

Returns a boolean/list of named parameters.

has_slurpy, slurpy

Returns a boolean indicating whether there is a slurpy parameter in this signature / returns the slurpy parameter.

yadayada

Indicates whether the yadayada operator was encountered in the signature.

last_position

The numeric index of the last positional parameter.

Other Methods

parse

An internal method used to parse a signature. Only makes sense to use within a Parse::Keyword parser.

parameter_class

A class to use for parameters when parsing the signature.

injection

The string of Perl code to inject for this signature.

sanity_check

Tests that the signature is sane. (For example it would not be sane to have a slurpy parameter prior to a positional one.)
