NAME

Bubblegum::Object::Code - Common Methods for Operating on Code References

VERSION

version 0.35

SYNOPSIS

    use Bubblegum;

    my $code = sub { shift + 1 };
    say $code->call(2); # 3

DESCRIPTION

Code methods work on code references. It is not necessary to use this module as it is loaded automatically by the Bubblegum class.

METHODS

call

    my $code = sub { (shift // 0) + 1 };
    $code->call; # 1
    $code->call(0); # 1
    $code->call(1); # 2
    $code->call(2); # 3

The call method executes and returns the result of the subject.

curry

    my $code = sub { [@_] };
    $code = $code->curry(1,2,3);
    $code->(4,5,6); # [1,2,3,4,5,6]

The curry method returns a code reference which executes the subject passing it the arguments and any additional parameters when executed.

rcurry

    my $code = sub { [@_] };
    $code = $code->rcurry(1,2,3);
    $code->(4,5,6); # [4,5,6,1,2,3]

The rcurry method returns a code reference which executes the subject passing it the any additional parameters and any arguments when executed.

compose

    my $code = sub { [@_] };
    $code = $code->compose($code, 1,2,3);
    $code->(4,5,6); # [[1,2,3,4,5,6]]

    # this can be confusing, here's what's really happening:
    my $listing = sub {[@_]}; # produces an arrayref of args
    $listing->($listing->(@args)); # produces a listing within a listing
    [[@args]] # the result

The compose method creates a code reference which executes the first argument (another code reference) using the result from executing the subject as it's argument, and returns a code reference which executes the created code reference passing it the remaining arguments when executed.

disjoin

    my $code = sub { $_[0] % 2 };
    $code = $code->disjoin(sub { -1 });
    $code->(0); # -1
    $code->(1); #  1
    $code->(2); # -1
    $code->(3); #  1
    $code->(4); # -1

The disjoin method creates a code reference which execute the subject and the argument in a logical OR operation having the subject as the lvalue and the argument as the rvalue.

conjoin

    my $code = sub { $_[0] % 2 };
    $code = $code->conjoin(sub { 1 });
    $code->(0); # 0
    $code->(1); # 1
    $code->(2); # 0
    $code->(3); # 1
    $code->(4); # 0

The conjoin method creates a code reference which execute the subject and the argument in a logical AND operation having the subject as the lvalue and the argument as the rvalue.

next

    $code->next;

The next method is an alias to the call method. The naming is especially useful (i.e. helps with readability) when used with closure-based iterators.

print

    my $code = sub {(1234, @_)};
    $code->print; # 12345
    $code->print(6789); # 123456789

The print method prints the return value of the code reference to STDOUT, and returns true if successful.

say

    my $code = sub {(1234, @_)};
    $code->print; # 12345\n
    $code->print(6789); # 123456789\n

The say method prints the return value of the code reference with a newline appended to STDOUT, and returns true if successful.
