NAME
Eval::TypeTiny::CodeAccumulator - alternative API for Eval::TypeTiny
SYNOPSIS
my $make_adder = 'Eval::TypeTiny::CodeAccumulator'->new(
description => 'adder',
);
my $n = 40;
my $varname = $make_adder->add_variable( '$addend' => \$n );
$make_adder->add_line( 'sub {' );
$make_adder->increase_indent;
$make_adder->add_line( 'my $other_addend = shift;' );
$make_adder->add_gap;
$make_adder->add_line( 'return ' . $varname . ' + $other_addend;' );
$make_adder->decrease_indent;
$make_adder->add_line( '}' );
my $adder = $make_adder->compile;
say $adder->( 2 ); ## ==> 42
STATUS
This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.
DESCRIPTION
Constructor
new( %attrs )
The only currently supported attribute is "description".
Methods
env()
Returns the current compilation environment, a hashref of variables
to close over.
code()
Returns the source code so far.
description()
Returns the same description given to the constructor, if any.
add_line( @lines_of_code )
Adds the next line of code.
"addf( $fmt, @args )"
Shortcut for "add_line( sprintf $fmt, @args )".
add_gap()
Adds a blank line of code.
increase_indent()
Increases the indentation level for subsequent lines of code.
decrease_indent()
Decreases the indentation level for subsequent lines of code.
"add_variable( $varname, $reference_to_value )"
Adds a variable to the compilation environment so that the coderef
being generated can close over it.
If a variable already exists in the environment with that name,
will instead add a variable with a different name and return that
name. You should always continue to refer to the variable with that
returned name, just in case.
add_placeholder( $placeholder_name )
Adds a line of code which is just a comment, but remembers its line
number.
"fill_placeholder( $placeholder_name, @lines_of_code )"
Goes back to a previously inserted placeholder and replaces it with
code.
As an alternative, "add_placeholder" returns a coderef, which you
can call like $callback->( @lines_of_code ).
compile( %opts )
Compiles the code and returns it as a coderef.
Options are passed on to "eval_closure" from Eval::TypeTiny, but
cannot include "code" or "environment". "alias => 1" is probably
the option most likely to be useful, but in general you won't need
to provide any options.
finalize()
This method is called by "compile" just before compiling the code.
All it does is remove unfilled placeholder comments. It is not
intended for end users to call, but is documented as it may be a
useful hook if you are subclassing this class.
