NAME¶

Data::Stream::Bulk::DoneFlag - Implement the "is_done" method in terms of a flag

VERSION¶

version 0.11

SYNOPSIS¶

        package Data::Stream::Bulk::Blah;
        use Moose;
        with qw(Data::Stream::Bulk::DoneFlag);
        sub get_more {
                if ( my @more = more() ) {
                        return \@more;
                } else {
                        return;
                }
        }

DESCRIPTION¶

This role implements the "Data::Stream::Bulk" core API in terms of one method ("get_more").

As a convenience it calls "finished" when the stream is exhausted, so that cleanup may be done.

This is used by classes like Data::Stream::Bulk::DBI, Data::Stream::Bulk::Callback.

METHODS¶

is_done

Returns the state of the iterator.

next

As long as the iterator is not yet done, calls "get_more".

If "get_more" returned a false value instead of an array reference then "done" is set, "finished" is called, and this "next" does nothing on subsequent calls.

finished

A noop by default. Can be overridden if so desired.

REQUIRED_METHODS¶

get_more

Returns the next block of data as an array ref, or a false value if no items are left.
