NAME

Catmandu::DirectoryIndex - A base role to store relations between id's and directories

CLASS METHODS AVAILABLE

new( base_dir => $base_dir )

base_dir: The base directory where the files are stored. Required

METHODS AVAILABLE

base_dir

METHODS TO IMPLEMENT

Implementors must implement these methods

add( $id ) : $mapping

* Accepts $id as string

* Translates $id to directory path

* Creates directory if necessary

* Returns HASH with keys "_id" and "_path"

This method should throw an Catmandu::Error when it detects an invalid id.

It should either return the mapping or throw an error.

get( $id ) : $mapping

* Accepts $id as string

* Translates $id to directory path

* Returns HASH with keys "_id" and "_path", if a path exists for $id

This method should throw an Catmandu::Error when it detects an invalid id.

Difference with method "add":

* no directory created

* no mapping returned if no existing directory could be found

delete ( $id )

* Accepts id as string

* Translates id to directory

* Removes directory if it exists

* Do other internal cleanup actions if any required

This method should throw an Catmandu::Error when at failure.

delete_all()

* Deletes files/directories in base_dir. Please keep the base_dir.

* Do other internal cleanup actions if any required

This method should throw an Catmandu::Error when at failure.

generator()

Inherited requirement from Catmandu::Iterable:

* return function reference

* every call to this function must return the next directory entry in the index as a HASH with keys "_id" and "path"

INHERITED METHODS

This Catmandu::DirectoryIndex inherits:

Catmandu::Iterable: So all functions from Catmandu::Iterable are available to these objects.
