17 This module implements an array-based iterator which may be mixed-in to
18 add management of a sequence of elements and processing of that
19 sequence.
20
21 The iterator is inspired by MooseX::Iterator but limited to arrays and
22 adds many other facilities. The following section describes the methods
23 provided by this class.
24
26 The slot used for storing iterator elements is named "_sequence" and
27 you should write your consuming class to marshall data into this slot,
28 perhaps via "BUILD" or "init_arg". For example:
29
30 has '+_sequence' => (
31 isa => 'ArrayRef[Thingy]',
32 init_arg => 'things',
33 );
34
36 count
37 The number of elements currently stored in the iterator. Note that this
38 is of course not the same as the index of the last item in the iterator
39 (which is 0-based)
40
41 first
42 Returns the first item in the iterator.
43
44 last
45 Returns the last item in the iterator.
46
47 item_at( $pos )
48 Returns the item at the given position in the iterator, or throws an
49 exception if $pos is past the end of the iterator. The position is
50 0-based.
51
52 insert_at( $pos, $iter )
53 Inserts the contents of the passed iterator starting at (not after) the
54 position given. The passed iterator must also be a consumer of this
55 role. The position is 0-based.
56
57 append( $iter )
58 Shorthand for "insert_at" when you want to add the contents of the
59 passed iterator after the end of the sequence.
60
61 idx( $pos? )
62 Returns the index (0-based) of the current iterator cursor, or sets the
63 cursor if a position (again, 0-based) is passed.
64
65 An exception is thrown if you attempt to read the cursor position
66 before having read any elements from the iterator, or if the iterator
67 is empty.
68
69 next
70 Returns the next item in the iterator sequence, and advances the
71 cursor. Throws an exception if you have already reached the end of the
72 sequence.
73
74 has_next
75 Returns true if there are further elements to be read from the
76 iterator.
77
78 peek
79 Returns the next item in the sequence without advancing the position of
80 the cursor. It returns "undef" if you are already at the end of the
81 sequence.
82
83 reset
84 Resets the cursor so you can iterate through the sequence of elements
85 again.
