NAME

WWW::Ohloh::API::Projects - a set of Ohloh projects

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Ohloh::API;

my $ohloh = WWW::Ohloh::API->new( api_key => $my_api_key );
my $projects = $ohloh->get_projects( query => 'Ohloh', max => 100 );

while ( my $p = $projects->next ) {
    print $p->name;
}

DESCRIPTION

W::O::A::Projects returns the results of an Ohloh project query. To be properly populated, it must be created via the get_projects method of a WWW::Ohloh::API object.

The results of a query are not all captured at the call of <get_projects>, but are retrieved from Ohloh as required, usually by batches of 25 items.

METHODS

next( [ $n ] )

Return the next project of the set or, if $n is given, the $n following projects (or all remaining projects if they are less than $n). When all projects have been returned, next() returns undef once, and then restarts from the beginning.

Examples:

# typical iterator
while( my $project = $projects->next ) {
    print $project->name;
}

# read projects 10 at a time
while( my @p = $project->next( 10 ) ) {
    # do something with them...
}

all

Return all the remaining projects of the set. A call to all() immediatly reset the set. I.e., a subsequent call to next() would return the first project of the set, not undef.

As a precaution against memory meltdown, calls to all() are not permited unless the parameter max of get_projects has been set.

Example:

my $projects = $ohloh->get_projects( sort => 'stack_count', max => 100 );
# get the first project special
$top = $projects->next;
# get the rest
@most_stacked = $projects->all;

OVERLOADING

Iteration

If called on a W:O:A:Projects object, the iteration operator (<>) acts as a call to '$projects->next'.

E.g.,

while( my $p = <$projects> ) { 
    ### do stuff with $p
}

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

WWW::Ohloh::API is very extremely alpha quality. It'll improve, but till then: Caveat emptor.
