Name

App::Sqitch::ItemFormatter - Format events and changes for command output

Synopsis

  my $formatter = App::Sqitch::ItemFormatter->new(%params);
  say $formatter->format($format, $item);

Description

This class is used by commands to format items for output. For example, log uses it to format the events it finds. It uses String::Formatter to do the actual formatting, but configures it for all the various times of things typically displayed, such as change names, IDs, event types, etc. This keeps things relatively simple, as all one needs to pass to format() is a format and then a hash reference of values to be used in the format.

Interface

Constructor

new

  my $formatter = App::Sqitch::ItemFormatter->new(%params);

Constructs and returns a formatter object. The supported parameters are:

abbrev

Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal change ID, format as a partial prefix the specified number of characters long.

date_format

Format to use for timestamps. Defaults to iso. Allowed values:

iso

iso8601

ISO-8601 format.

rfc

rfc2822

RFC-2822 format.

full

long

medium

short

A format length to pass to the system locale's LC_TIME category.

raw

Raw format, which is strict ISO-8601 in the UTC time zone.

strftime:$string

An arbitrary strftime pattern. See "strftime Paterns" in DateTime for comprehensive documentation of supported patterns.

cldr:$pattern

An arbitrary cldr pattern. See "CLDR Paterns" in DateTime for comprehensive documentation of supported patterns.

color

Controls the use of ANSI color formatting. The value may be one of:

auto (the default)

always

never

formatter

A String::Formatter object. You probably don't want to pass one of these, as the default one understands all the values to that Sqitch is likely to want to format.

Instance Methods

format

  $formatter->format( $format, $item );

Formats an item as a string and returns it. The item will be formatted using the first argument. See "Formats" for the gory details.

The second argument is a hash reference defining the item to be formatted. These are simple key/value pairs, generally identifying attribute names and values. The supported keys are:

event

The type of event, which is one of:

deploy

revert

fail

project

The name of the project with which the change is associated.

change_id

The change ID.

change

The name of the change.

note

A brief description of the change.

tags

An array reference of the names of associated tags.

requires

An array reference of the names of any changes required by the change.

conflicts

An array reference of the names of any changes that conflict with the change.

committed_at

An App::Sqitch::DateTime object representing the date and time at which the event was logged.

committer_name

Name of the user who deployed the change.

committer_email

Email address of the user who deployed the change.

planned_at

An App::Sqitch::DateTime object representing the date and time at which the change was added to the plan.

planner_name

Name of the user who added the change to the plan.

planner_email

Email address of the user who added the change to the plan.

Formats

The format argument to format() specifies the item information to be included in the resulting string. It works a little bit like printf format and a little like Git log format. For example, this format:

  format:The committer of %h was %{name}c%vThe title was >>%s<<%v

Would show something like this:

  The committer of f26a3s was Tom Lane
  The title was >>We really need to get this right.<<

The placeholders are:

• %H: Event change ID

• %h: Event change ID (respects --abbrev)

• %n: Event change name

• %o: Event change project name

• %($len)h: abbreviated change of length $len

• %e: Event type (deploy, revert, fail)

• %l: Localized lowercase event type label

• %L: Localized title case event type label

• %c: Event committer name and email address

• %{name}c: Event committer name

• %{email}c: Event committer email address

• %{date}c: commit date (respects --date-format)

• %{date:rfc}c: commit date, RFC2822 format

• %{date:iso}c: commit date, ISO-8601 format

• %{date:full}c: commit date, full format

• %{date:long}c: commit date, long format

• %{date:medium}c: commit date, medium format

• %{date:short}c: commit date, short format

• %{date:cldr:$pattern}c: commit date, formatted with custom CLDR pattern

• %{date:strftime:$pattern}c: commit date, formatted with custom strftime pattern

• %c: Change planner name and email address

• %{name}p: Change planner name

• %{email}p: Change planner email address

• %{date}p: plan date (respects --date-format)

• %{date:rfc}p: plan date, RFC2822 format

• %{date:iso}p: plan date, ISO-8601 format

• %{date:full}p: plan date, full format

• %{date:long}p: plan date, long format

• %{date:medium}p: plan date, medium format

• %{date:short}p: plan date, short format

• %{date:cldr:$pattern}p: plan date, formatted with custom CLDR pattern

• %{date:strftime:$pattern}p: plan date, formatted with custom strftime pattern

• %t: Comma-delimited list of tags

• %{$sep}t: list of tags delimited by $sep

• %T: Parenthesized list of comma-delimited tags

• %{$sep}T: Parenthesized list of tags delimited by $sep

• %s: Subject (a.k.a. title line)

• %r: Comma-delimited list of required changes

• %{$sep}r: list of required changes delimited by $sep

• %R: Localized label and list of comma-delimited required changes

• %{$sep}R: Localized label and list of required changes delimited by $sep

• %x: Comma-delimited list of conflicting changes

• %{$sep}x: list of conflicting changes delimited by $sep

• %X: Localized label and list of comma-delimited conflicting changes

• %{$sep}X: Localized label and list of conflicting changes delimited by $sep

• %b: Body

• %B: Raw body (unwrapped subject and body)

• %{$prefix}B: Raw body with $prefix prefixed to every line

• %{event}_ Localized label for "event"

• %{change}_ Localized label for "change"

• %{planner}_ Localized label for "planner"

• %{by}_ Localized label for "by"

• %{date}_ Localized label for "date"
