Sword::Module - Sword modules (Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, etc.)

=head1 VERSION

version 0.102800

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Sword;

  my $library = Sword::Manager->new;

  my $module = $library->get_module('KJV');
  $module->set_key('jn3.16');
  print "John 3:16 says (KJV): ", $module->render_text, "\n";

  $module->increment(2);
  print "John 3:18 says (KJV): ", $module->render_text, "\n";

  $module->decrement;
  print "John 3:17 says (KJV): ", $module->render_text, "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This Perl module provides access to the C<SWModule> class from the Sword Engine API.

This documetnation should cover everything that you can do with it. If something is wrong or missing, please report a bug.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 name

  my $name = $module->name;
  $module->name($new_name);

This is the getter/setter for the short name of the module.

=head2 description

  my $description = $module->description;
  $module->description($new_description);

This is the getter/setter for the long description of the module.

=head2 type

  my $type = $module->type;
  $module->type($new_type);

This is the getter/setter for the type of the module. This is the name of the category this module belongs to, like "Biblical Texts" or "Lexicons / Dictionaries".

=head2 set_key

  $module->set_key($key);

This selects a key pointing into the text. The kind of key value used depends on the module. For example, in a Bible or commentary, this may be a scripture reference or an abbreviation of one like "John 3:16" or "Ps 23" or "rm8.28". In a dictionary, this may be a word or word number.

=head2 increment

=head2 decrement

  $module->increment;
  $module->increment($steps);
  $module->decrement;
  $module->decrement($steps);

Use C<increment> to moves the key one or more steps forward of the current. Use C<decrement> to move the key backward. If C<$steps> is omitted, the increment/decrement defaults to 1.

=head2 top

=head2 bottom

  $module->top
  $module->bottom

These set the module key to the beginning or end position, respectively.

These are analogous to:

  module->setPosition(TOP);
  module->setPosition(BOTTOM);

in the C++ API.

=head2 strip_text

  my $str = $module->strip_text;

Show the unfiltered plain text for the current key/position in the module.

=head2 render_text

  my $str = $module->render_text;

Returns the the text for the key that has been selected.
