NAME

6       PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject - Simple object to return values from
7       PPIx::EditorTools

VERSION

10       version 0.21

SYNOPSIS

13         my $brace = PPIx::EditorTools::FindUnmatchedBrace->new->find(
14               code => "package TestPackage;\nsub x { 1;\n"
15             );
16         my $location = $brace->element->location;
17         my $ppi      = $brace->element->ppi;
18

DESCRIPTION

20       Retuning a simple "PPI::Element" from many of the "PPIx::EditorTools"
21       methods often results in the loss of the overall context for that
22       element.  "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" provides an object that can
23       be passed around which retains the overall context.
24
25       For example, in "PPIx::EditorTools::FindUnmatchedBrace" if the
26       unmatched brace were returned by its "PPI::Structure::Block" the
27       containing "PPI::Document" is likely to go out of scope, thus the
28       "location" method no longer returns a valid location (rather it returns
29       undef).  Using the "ReturnObject" preserves the "PPI::Document" and the
30       containing context.
31

METHODS

33       new()
34           Constructor which should be used by "PPIx::EditorTools". Accepts
35           the following named parameters:
36
37           ppi A "PPI::Document" representing the (possibly modified) code.
38
39           code
40               A string representing the (possibly modified) code.
41
42           element
43               A "PPI::Element" or a subclass thereof representing the
44               interesting element.
45
46       ppi Accessor to retrieve the "PPI::Document". May create the
47           "PPI::Document" from the $code string (lazily) if needed.
48
49       code
50           Accessor to retrieve the string representation of the code. May be
51           retrieved from the "PPI::Document" via the serialize method
52           (lazily) if needed.
