API to report configuration's section

## NAME

Lire::ReportSection - API to report configuration's section

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Lire::ReportConfig;
    use Lire::ReportSection;
    my $report_cfg = new Lire::ReportConfig( "www" );
    my $section = new Lire::ReportSection( "www", "General" );
    $report_cfg->add_section( $section );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class offers an object oriented API to report configuration's section. It offers methods to access and modify the section's attribute.

## CONSTRUCTOR

### new( $superservice, \[$title\] )

Creates a new Lire::Section object which will contains report specifications of the `$superservice` superservice. The section's title will be set to the value of `$title`.

## OBJECT METHODS

### superservice()

Returns this section's superservice.

### title(\[$title\])

Return's the current section's title.

When the `$title` parameter is used, it will set the section's title to a new value.

### filters()

Returns this section's filter specifications as an array of Lire::FilterSpec objects. Those filter specifications will be used by all of this section's report specifications in addition to the filter specification they may already be using.

### add\_filter($filter\_spec)

Adds the `$filter_spec` filter specification to this section's list. The `$filter_spec` parameter must be an instance of Lire::FilterSpec or one of its descendants.

This method will die if the filter specification's schema isn't compatible with this section's superservice.

### reports()

Returns this section's report specifications as an array of Lire::ReportSpec objects.

### add\_report( $report\_spec )

Adds the `$report_spec` report specification to this section. This method will die if the report specification's schema isn't compatible with this section's superservice.
