It is not required to use this package in order to use all the Visitors, it is just a somewhat convenient way to avoid having to type their long class names. .PP I considered making this a Singleton, but I did not because I thought that some people might not want that. I know that I am very picky about using Singletons, especially in multiprocess environments like mod_perl, so I implemented the smallest instance I knew how to, and made sure all other methods could be called as class methods too. .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" .IP "\fBnew\fR" 4 .IX Item "new" Returns an minimal instance of this object, basically just a reference back to the package (literally, see the source if you care). .IP "\fBget ($visitor_type)\fR" 4 .IX Item "get ($visitor_type)" Attempts to load the \f(CW$visitor_type\fR and returns an instance of it if successful. If no \f(CW$visitor_type\fR is specified an exception is thrown, if \f(CW$visitor_type\fR fails to load, and exception is thrown. .IP "\fBgetVisitor ($visitor_type)\fR" 4 .IX Item "getVisitor ($visitor_type)" This is an alias of \f(CW\*(C`get\*(C'\fR. .SH "AVAILABLE VISITORS" .IX Header "AVAILABLE VISITORS" This distribution provides a number of Visitor objects which can be loaded just by giving their name. Below is a description of the available Visitors and a sort description of what they do. I have attempted to classify the Visitors into groups which are related to their use. .PP This factory will load any module contained inside the \fBTree::Simple::Visitor::*\fR namespace. Given a name, it will attempt to \f(CW\*(C`require\*(C'\fR the module \fBTree::Simple::Visitor::<\f(BIName\fB>.pm\fR. This allows others to create Visitors which can be accessed with this factory, without needed to include them in this distribution. .SS "Search/Path Related Visitors" .IX Subsection "Search/Path Related Visitors" .IP "\fBPathToRoot\fR" 4 .IX Item "PathToRoot" Given a Tree::Simple object, this Visitor will find the path back to the tree's root node. .IP "\fBFindByPath\fR" 4 .IX Item "FindByPath" Given a path and Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will attempt to find the node specified by the path. .IP "\fBFindByUID\fR" 4 .IX Item "FindByUID" Given a \s-1UID\s0 and Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will attempt to find the node with the same \s-1UID.\s0 .IP "\fBFindByNodeValue\fR" 4 .IX Item "FindByNodeValue" Given a node value and Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will attempt to find the node with the same node value. .SS "Traversal Visitors" .IX Subsection "Traversal Visitors" .IP "\fBBreadthFirstTraversal\fR" 4 .IX Item "BreadthFirstTraversal" This implements a breadth-first traversal of a Tree::Simple hierarchy. .IP "\fBPostOrderTraversal\fR" 4 .IX Item "PostOrderTraversal" Post-order traversal is a variation of the depth-first traversal in which the sub-tree's are processed \fIbefore\fR the parent. .IP "\fBPreOrderTraversal\fR" 4 .IX Item "PreOrderTraversal" Pre-order traversal is a depth-first traversal method in which the sub-tree's are processed \fIafter\fR the parent. .SS "FileSystem Visitors" .IX Subsection "FileSystem Visitors" .IP "\fBLoadDirectoryTree\fR" 4 .IX Item "LoadDirectoryTree" This visitor can be used to load a directory tree into a Tree::Simple hierarchy. .IP "\fBCreateDirectoryTree\fR" 4 .IX Item "CreateDirectoryTree" This visitor can be used to create a set of directories and files from a Tree::Simple object hierarchy. .SS "Conversion Visitors" .IX Subsection "Conversion Visitors" .IP "\fBFromNestedArray\fR" 4 .IX Item "FromNestedArray" Given a tree constructed from nested arrays, this Visitor will create the equivalent Tree::Simple hierarchy. .IP "\fBToNestedArray\fR" 4 .IX Item "ToNestedArray" Given a Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will create the equivalent tree constructed from nested arrays. .IP "\fBFromNestedHash\fR" 4 .IX Item "FromNestedHash" Given a tree constructed from nested hashs, this Visitor will create the equivalent Tree::Simple hierarchy. .IP "\fBToNestedHash\fR" 4 .IX Item "ToNestedHash" Given a Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will create the equivalent tree constructed from nested hashes. .SS "Reflective Visitors" .IX Subsection "Reflective Visitors" .IP "\fBLoadClassHierarchy\fR" 4 .IX Item "LoadClassHierarchy" Given a class name or instance, this Visitor will create a Tree::Simple hierarchy which models the classes inheritance hierarchy. .SS "Misc. Visitors" .IX Subsection "Misc. Visitors" .IP "\fBGetAllDescendents\fR" 4 .IX Item "GetAllDescendents" Given a Tree::Simple instance this Visitor will return all the descendents recursively on down the hierarchy. .IP "\fBSort\fR" 4 .IX Item "Sort" This implements a multi-level sort of a Tree::Simple hierarchy. .IP "\fBVariableDepthClone\fR" 4 .IX Item "VariableDepthClone" A Visitor for cloning parts of Tree::Simple hierarchy .SH "BUGS" .IX Header "BUGS" None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it. .SH "CODE COVERAGE" .IX Header "CODE COVERAGE" I use \fBDevel::Cover\fR to test the code coverage of my tests, below is the \fBDevel::Cover\fR report on this module test suite. .PP .Vb 10 \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \& File stmt branch cond sub pod time total \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \& Tree/Simple/VisitorFactory.pm 100.0 100.0 n/a 100.0 100.0 0.4 100.0 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/BreadthFirstTraversal.pm 100.0 100.0 66.7 100.0 100.0 2.5 96.3 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/PostOrderTraversal.pm 100.0 100.0 77.8 100.0 100.0 1.7 96.3 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/PreOrderTraversal.pm 100.0 n/a 33.3 100.0 100.0 0.7 90.5 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/CreateDirectoryTree.pm 100.0 85.7 86.7 100.0 100.0 3.4 95.8 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/LoadClassHierarchy.pm 100.0 73.1 33.3 100.0 100.0 4.9 89.2 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/LoadDirectoryTree.pm 100.0 89.3 85.2 100.0 100.0 26.1 94.7 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/FindByNodeValue.pm 100.0 100.0 86.7 100.0 100.0 3.1 98.3 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/FindByPath.pm 100.0 100.0 66.7 100.0 100.0 1.2 97.9 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/FindByUID.pm 100.0 100.0 86.7 100.0 100.0 2.9 98.3 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/GetAllDescendents.pm 100.0 100.0 77.8 100.0 100.0 2.3 97.1 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/PathToRoot.pm 100.0 87.5 75.0 100.0 100.0 0.8 95.1 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/Sort.pm 100.0 100.0 77.8 100.0 100.0 8.8 98.1 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/ToNestedArray.pm 100.0 100.0 66.7 100.0 100.0 1.5 96.5 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/ToNestedHash.pm 100.0 100.0 66.7 100.0 100.0 1.4 96.5 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/FromNestedArray.pm 100.0 94.4 81.8 100.0 100.0 8.1 96.6 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/FromNestedHash.pm 100.0 91.7 77.8 100.0 100.0 4.8 95.9 \& Tree/Simple/Visitor/VariableDepthClone.pm 100.0 100.0 66.7 100.0 100.0 25.5 97.3 \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \& Total 100.0 93.8 76.3 100.0 100.0 100.0 96.1 \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\- .Ve .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" These Visitor classes are meant to work with Tree::Simple hierarchies, you should refer to that module for more information. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" stevan little, .PP Ron Savage has taken over maintenance as of V 0.11. .SH "REPOSITORY" .IX Header "REPOSITORY" . .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" Copyright 2004, 2005 by Infinity Interactive, Inc. .PP .PP This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
