NAME¶

Biber::Entry - Biber::Entry objects

new¶

    Initialize a Biber::Entry object

TO_JSON¶

   Serialiser for JSON::XS::encode

clone¶

    Clone a Biber::Entry object and return a copy
    Accepts optionally a key for the copy

notnull¶

    Test for an empty object

set_orig_field¶

    Set a field which came from the datasource which is then split/transformed
    into other fields. Here we save the original in case we need to look at it again
    but it is not treated as a real field any more. Such fields are of only historical
    interest in the processing in case we lose information during processing but need
    to refer back.

get_orig_field¶

    Get an original field which has been subsequently split/transformed.

set_field¶

  Set/append to a derived field for a Biber::Entry object, that is, a field
  which was not an actual bibliography field

get_field¶

    Get a field for a Biber::Entry object

set_datafield¶

    Set/append to a field which is in the bib data file
    Only set to null if the field is a nullable one
    otherwise if value is null, remove the field

get_datafield¶

    Get a field that was in the original data file

del_field¶

    Delete a field in a Biber::Entry object

del_datafield¶

    Delete an original data source data field in a Biber::Entry object

field_exists¶

    Check whether a field exists (even if null)

datafields¶

    Returns a sorted array of the fields which came from the data source

count_datafields¶

    Returns the number of datafields

fields¶

    Returns a sorted array of all field names, including ones
    added during processing which are not necessarily fields
    which came from the data file

count_fields¶

    Returns the number of fields

has_keyword¶

    Check if a Biber::Entry object has a particular keyword in
    in the KEYWORDS field.

add_warning¶

    Append a warning to a Biber::Entry object

set_inherit_from¶

    Inherit fields from parent entry
    $entry->set_inherit_from($parententry);

    Tailored for set inheritance which is a straight 1:1 inheritance,
    excluding certain fields for backwards compatibility

    $entry->resolve_xdata($xdata_entry);
