NAME¶
Bio::DB::Tagger -- Simple object tagging system
SYNOPSIS¶
use Bio::DB::Tagger; my $tagger = Bio::DB::Tagger->new(-dsn => 'dbi:mysql:tagdb', -create => 1); $tagger->add_tags(-object => $object_name, -tags => \@tags); $tagger->set_tags(-object => $object_name, -key => $object_key, -tags => \@tags); $tagger->add_tag(-object => $object_name, -tag => 'venue', -value => 'mermaid parade', -author => 'lincoln.stein@gmail.com'); $tagger->add_tag(-object => $object_name, -tag => $tag); $tagger->add_tag($object_name => $tag); $tagger->clear_tags($object_name); # delete all tags attached to object $tagger->delete_tag($object_name,$tag_name [,$value]); # delete one tag attached to object $tagger->nuke_tag($tag_name); # delete this tag completely $tagger->nuke_object($object_name); $tagger->nuke_author($author_name); my @tags = $tagger->get_tags($object_name [,$author]); print "first tag = $tags[0]\n"; # Tag stringify interface print "tag value = ",$tags[0]->value,"\n"; # object interface print "tag author= ",$tags[0]->author,"\n"; # object interface my $hasit = $tagger->has_tag($object_name,$tag); my @objects = $tagger->search_tag($tag); my @tags = $tagger->tags; my $iterator = $tagger->tag_match('prefix'); while (my $tag = $iterator->next_tag) { }
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a simple object tagger interface that provides relational support for tagging objects (identified by string IDs) with arbitrary string tags.
METHODS¶
- $tagger = Bio::DB::Tagger->new(@args)
- Constructor for the tagger class. Arguments are:
-dsn <dsn> A DBI data source, possibly including host and password information -create <0|1> If true, then database will be initialized with a new schema. Database must already exist.
The dsn can be a preopened database handle or a dbi: data source string.
- @objects = $tagger->search_tag($tag [,$value])
- $object_arrayref = $tagger->search_tag($tag [,$value])
- Return all object names and keys that are tagged with "$tag", optionally qualified by tag value $value.
- $boolean = $tagger->has_tag($object,$tag [,$value])
- Returns true if indicated object has the indicated tag, or the indicated combination of tag and value.
- @tags = $tagger->get_tag($object,$tag)
- Returns all the tags of type $tag.
- $tags = $tagger->tags()
- @tags = $tagger->tags()
- Return a list of all tags in the database. In a list context, returns the list of tags. In an array context, returns an array ref.
- $iterator = $tagger->tag_match('prefix')
- Returns an iterator that matches all tags beginning with 'prefix' (case insensitive). Call $iterator->next_tag() to get the next match.
- $iterator = $tagger->tag_match('prefix')
- Returns an iterator that matches all tags beginning with 'prefix' (case insensitive). Call $iterator->next_tag() to get the next match.
- $tags = $tagger->tag_counts()
- @tags = $tagger->tag_counts()
- Return a set of Bio::DB::Tagger::Tag objects representing all known tags. The tag values correspond to the number of times that tag has been used to tag objects.
- $result = $tagger->add_tag(@args);
- Add a tag to the database. The following forms are accepted:
$tagger->add_tag($object_name=>$tag);
Add a Bio::DB::Tagger::Tag to the object named "$object_name".
$tagger->add_tag(-object => $object_name, -tag => $tag);
The same as above using -option syntax.
$tagger->add_tag(-object => $object_name, -tag => $tagname, -value => $tagvalue, -author => $authorname);
Generate the tag from the options provided in -tag, -value (optional) and -author (optional), and then add the tag to the object.
Returns true on success.
- $result = $tagger->set_tags(@args);
- Set the tags of an object, replacing all previous tags.
Arguments: -object Name of the object to tag.
-tags List of Bio::DB::Tagger::Tag objectsReturns true on success.
- $result = $tagger->set_tag(@args);
- Set a tag, replacing all previous tags of the same name.
Arguments: -object Name of the object to tag.
-tag A Bio::DB::Tagger::Tag object, or tag nameReturns true on success.
- $result = $tagger->clear_tags($objectname);
- Clear all tags from the indicated object. Returns true if the operation was successful.
- $result = $tagger->delete_tag($objectname,$tagname [,$tagvalue]);
- Clear the one tag from the indicated object, filtering by tagname, optionally by value.
- $result = $tagger->nuke_object($objectname);
- Removes the object named $objectname. Returns true if the operation was successful.
- $result = $tagger->nuke_author($authorname);
- Removes the author named $authorname. Returns true if the operation was successful.
- $result = $tagger->nuke_tag($tagname);
- Removes the tag named $tagname. Returns true if the operation was successful.
- @tags = $tagger->get_tags($object_name [,$author])
- Return all tags assigned to the indicated object, optionally filtering by the author.
- $oid = $tagger->object_to_id($objectname [,$create] [,$key])
- Fetch the object id (oid) of the object named "$objectname". If the object doesn't exist, and $create is true, will create a new entry for the object in the database.
- $tid = $tagger->tag_to_id($tagname [,$create])
- Fetch the tag id (tid) of the object named "$tagname". If the tag doesn't exist, and $create is true, will create a new entry for the tag in the database.
- $aid = $tagger->author_to_id($authorname [,$create])
- Fetch the author id (aid) of the object named "$authorname". If the tag doesn't exist, and $create is true, will create a new entry for the author in the database.
- $dbh = $tagger->dbh
- Return underlying DBI handle.
- $tagger->initialize
- Initialize the database with a fresh schema.
