NAME

6       Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter - Metadata about a parameter for a
7       Policy.
8

DESCRIPTION

10       A provider of validation and parsing of parameter values and metadata
11       about the parameter.
12

INTERFACE SUPPORT

14       This is considered to be a public class.  Any changes to its interface
15       will go through a deprecation cycle.
16

METHODS

18       "get_name()"
19           Return the name of the parameter.  This is the key that will be
20           looked for in the .perlcriticrc.
21
22       "get_description()"
23           Return an explanation of the significance of the parameter, as
24           provided by the developer of the policy.
25
26       "get_default_string()"
27           Return a representation of the default value of this parameter as
28           it would appear if it was specified in a .perlcriticrc file.
29
30       "parse_and_validate_config_value( $parser, $config )"
31           Extract the configuration value for this parameter from the overall
32           configuration and initialize the policy based upon it.
33
34       "generate_full_description()"
35           Produce a more complete explanation of the significance of this
36           parameter than the value returned by "get_description()".
37
38           If no description can be derived, returns the empty string.
39
40           Note that the result may contain multiple lines.
41
42       "to_formatted_string( $format )"
43           Generate a string representation of this parameter, based upon the
44           format.
45
46           The format is a combination of literal and escape characters
47           similar to the way "sprintf" works.  If you want to know the
48           specific formatting capabilities, look at String::Format.  Valid
49           escape characters are:
50
51           %n  The name of the parameter.
52
53           %d  The description, as supplied by the programmer.
54
55           %D  The default value, in a parsable form.
56
57           %f  The full description, which is an extension of the value
58               returned by %d.  Takes a parameter of a prefix for the
59               beginning of each line.
