NAME¶
Tree::Simple::Visitor::BreadthFirstTraversal - A Visitor for breadth-first traversal a Tree::Simple hierarchy
SYNOPSIS¶
use Tree::Simple::Visitor::BreadthFirstTraversal; # create an visitor my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::BreadthFirstTraversal->new(); # pass our visitor to the tree $tree->accept($visitor); # print our results print join ", " => $visitor->getResults(); # this will print this: # 1, 2, 3, 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 3.1, 1.1.1 # assuming your tree is like this: # 1 # 1.1 # 1.1.1 # 1.2 # 2 # 2.1 # 3 # 3.1
DESCRIPTION¶
This implements a breadth-first traversal of a Tree::Simple hierarchy. This can be an alternative to the built in depth-first traversal of the Tree::Simple "traverse" method.
METHODS¶
- new
- There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the "setNodeFilter" method to customize its behavior.
- includeTrunk ($boolean)
- Based upon the value of $boolean, this will tell the visitor to include the trunk of the tree in the traversal as well.
- setNodeFilter ($filter_function)
- This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are collected. This can be used to customize output, or to gather specific information from a more complex tree node. The filter function should accept a single argument, which is the current Tree::Simple object.
- visit ($tree)
- This is the method that is used by the Tree::Simple "accept" method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.
- getResults
- This method returns the accumulated results of the application of the node filter to the tree.
