# Markdent::Role::EventsAsMethods(3pm)

Turns events into method calls

## NAME

Markdent::Role::EventsAsMethods - Turns events into method calls

## VERSION

version 0.40

## DESCRIPTION

This role takes an object which does Markdent::Role::Event role and turns it into a method call.

## METHODS

This role provides the following methods:

### $object-\>handle\_event($event)

Given an object which does Markdent::Role::Event role, this method makes a method call on `$object` based on the event's name.

The method name is the same as the value of `"$event->event_name"`. The hash reference returned by `"$event->attributes"` is turned into a set of named parameters for the method. However, any keys starting with "!" in the attributes will not be passed to the method.

So, for example, a Markdent::Event::StartLink event turns into a method call like this:

```
  $handler->start_link(
      uri            => $event->uri,
      title          => $title,                     # optional
      id             => $id,                        # optional
      is_implicit_id => $event->is_implicit_id,
  );
```

## ROLES

This role does the Markdent::Role::Handler role.
