NAME

RDF::vCard::Entity - represents a single vCard

DESCRIPTION

Instances of this class correspond to individual vCard objects, though it could potentially be used as basis for other RFC 2425-based formats such as iCalendar.

Constructor

• new(%options)

  Returns a new RDF::vCard::Entity object.

  The only option worth worrying about is profile which sets the profile for the entity. This defaults to "VCARD".

  RDF::vCard::Entity overloads stringification, so you can do the following:

    my $vcard = RDF::vCard::Entity->new;
    print $vcard if $vcard =~ /VCARD/i;

Methods

• to_string()

  Formats the object according to RFC 2425 and RFC 2426.

• to_jcard()

  Formats the object according to http://microformats.org/wiki/jcard.

  to_jcard(1) will return the same data but without the JSON stringification.

• add_to_model($model)

  Given an RDF::Trine::Model, adds triples to the model for this entity.

• node()

  Returns an RDF::Trine::Node::Blank identifying this entity.

• entity_order()

  Returns a string along the lines of "Surname;Forename" useful for sorting a list of entities.

• profile()

  Returns the entity type - e.g. "VCARD".

• lines()

  Returns an arrayref of RDF::vCard::Line objects in the order they were originally added.

  This excludes the "BEGIN:VCARD" and "END:VCARD" lines.

• add($line)

  Add a RDF::vCard::Line.

• get($property)

  Returns a list of RDF::vCard::Line objects for the given property.

  e.g.

    print "It has an address!\n" if ($vcard->get('ADR'));

• matches($property, $regexp)

  Checks to see if a property's value matches a regular expression.

    print "In London\n" if $vcard->matches(ADR => /London/);

• add_component($thing)

  Adds a nested entity within this one. This method is unused for vCard, but is a hook for the benefit of RDF::iCalendar.

• components

  Lists nested entities within this one.
