NAME

6       Graph::Easy::Base - base class for Graph::Easy objects like nodes,
7       edges etc
8

SYNOPSIS

10               package Graph::Easy::My::Node;
11               use Graph::Easy::Base;
12               @ISA = qw/Graph::Easy::Base/;
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Used automatically and internally by Graph::Easy - should not be used
16       directly.
17

METHODS

19   new()
20               my $object = Graph::Easy::Base->new();
21
22       Create a new object, and call "_init()" on it.
23
24   error()
25               $last_error = $object->error();
26
27               $object->error($error);                 # set new messages
28               $object->error('');                     # clear the error
29
30       Returns the last error message, or '' for no error.
31
32       When setting a new error message, "$self->_croak($error)" will be
33       called unless "$object->no_fatal_errors()" is true.
34
35   error_as_html()
36               my $error = $object->error_as_html();
37
38       Returns the same error message as error(), but properly escaped as HTML
39       so it is safe to output to the client.
40
41   warn()
42               $object->warn('Warning!');
43
44       Warn on STDERR with the given message.
45
46   no_fatal_errors()
47               $object->no_fatal_errors(1);
48
49       Set the flag that determines whether setting an error message via
50       "error()" is fatal, e.g. results in a call to "_croak()".
51
52       A true value will make errors non-fatal. See also fatal_errors.
53
54   fatal_errors()
55               $fatal = $object->fatal_errors();
56               $object->fatal_errors(0);               # turn off
57               $object->fatal_errors(1);               # turn on
58
59       Set/get the flag that determines whether setting an error message via
60       "error()" is fatal, e.g. results in a call to "_croak()".
61
62       A true value makes errors fatal.
63
64   catch_errors()
65               my $catch_errors = $object->catch_errors();     # query
66               $object->catch_errors(1);                       # enable
67
68               $object->...();                                 # some error
69               if ($object->error())
70                 {
71                 my @errors = $object->errors();               # retrieve
72                 }
73
74       Enable/disable catching of all error messages. When enabled, all
75       previously caught error messages are thrown away, and from this poin on
76       new errors are non-fatal and stored internally. You can retrieve these
77       errors later with the errors() method.
78
79   catch_warnings()
80               my $catch_warns = $object->catch_warnings();    # query
81               $object->catch_warnings(1);                     # enable
82
83               $object->...();                                 # some error
84               if ($object->warning())
85                 {
86                 my @warnings = $object->warnings();           # retrieve
87                 }
88
89       Enable/disable catching of all warnings. When enabled, all previously
90       caught warning messages are thrown away, and from this poin on new
91       warnings are stored internally. You can retrieve these errors later
92       with the errors() method.
93
94   catch_messages()
95               # catch errors and warnings
96               $object->catch_messages(1);
97               # stop catching errors and warnings
98               $object->catch_messages(0);
99
100       A true parameter is equivalent to:
101
102               $object->catch_warnings(1);
103               $object->catch_errors(1);
104
105       See also: catch_warnings() and catch_errors() as well as errors() and
106       warnings().
107
108   errors()
109               my @errors = $object->errors();
110
111       Return all error messages that occurred after catch_messages() was
112       called.
113
114   warnings()
115               my @warnings = $object->warnings();
116
117       Return all warning messages that occurred after catch_messages() or
118       catch_errors() was called.
119
120   self()
121               my $self = $object->self();
122
123       Returns the object itself.
124
125   class()
126               my $class = $object->class();
127
128       Returns the full class name like "node.cities". See also "sub_class".
129
130   sub_class()
131               my $sub_class = $object->sub_class();
132
133       Returns the sub class name like "cities". See also "class".
134
135   main_class()
136               my $main_class = $object->main_class();
137
138       Returns the main class name like "node". See also "sub_class".
