OpenTracing::Interface::ContextReference - Defines the ContextReference

SYNOPSIS

    ...
}

sub new_follows_from {
    ...
}

sub get_referenced_context {

        if $ENV{OPENTRACING_INTERFACE};
} # check at compile time, perl -c will work

DESCRIPTION

This 'role' describes the interface for any OpenTracing ContextReference implementation.

References are used by Tracer methods start_span and start_active_span to create "casual span references"

See OpenTracing References

CONSTRUCTOR METHODS

new_child_of

Creates a SpanContext ContextReference for which type_is_child_of is 'true'.

ContextReference->new_child_of( $span_context );
Required Positional Parameter(s)
span_context, a required SpanContext

The sapn context that the returned context reference should should refer to.

Returns
ContextReference

The newly instantiated reference.

new_follows_from

Creates a SpanContext ContextReference for which type_is_follows_from is 'true'.

ContextReference->new_follows_from( $span_context );
Required Positional Parameter
span_context, a required SpanContext

The context the returned context reference should should refer to.

Returns
ContextReference

A newly instantiated context reference

INSTANCE METHODS

get_referenced_context

Returns the original referenced SpanContext.

$span_context = $reference->get_referenced_context;
Parameter(s)

    none

Returns
SpanContext

The span context being referenced.

type_is_child_of

Returns 'true' iff the ContextReference is a CHILD_OF type is, most likely, instantiated with the new_child_of constructor.

say "I'm a CHILD_OF context reference"
    if $context_reference->type_is_child_of;
Parameter(s)

    none

Returns
Bool

Ctype_is_follows_from>

Returns 'true' iff the ContextReference is a FOLLOWS_FROM type is, most likely, instantiated with the new_follows_from constructor.

say "I'm a FOLLOWS_FROM context reference"
    if $context_reference->type_is_child_of;
Parameter(s)

    none

Returns
Bool

SEE ALSO

OpenTracing::Interface

Describes the API definition for OpenTransport implementations written in the Perl5 language.

OpenTracing::Types

A library of Type::Tiny type constraints that provides Duck Type checks for all common elements that conform OpenTracing::Interface

CAVEATS

Since this role does nothing else than checking input and output, it is useful during development. Most likely it can be switched off safely in production environments.
