DESCRIPTION

This class provides a check list element for a Config::Model::Node. In other words, this class provides a list of booleans items. Each item can be set to 1 or 0.

The available items in the check list can be :

*
A fixed list (with the "choice" parameter)
*
A dynamic list where the available choise are the keys of another hash of the configuration tree. See ``Choice reference'' for details.

CONSTRUCTOR

CheckList object should not be created directly.

CheckList model declaration

A check list element must be declared with the following parameters:
type
Always "checklist".
choice
A list ref containing the check list items (optional)
refer_to
This parameter is used when the keys of a hash are used to specify the possible choices of the check list. "refer_to" point to a hash or list element in the configuration tree. See ``Choice reference'' for details. (optional)
computed_refer_to
Like "refer_to", but use a computed value to find the hash or list element in the configuration tree. See ``Choice reference'' for details. (optional)
default_list
List ref to specify the check list items which are ``on'' by default. (optional)
ordered
Specify whether the order of checked items must be preserved.
help
Hash ref to provide information on the check list items.
warp
Used to provide dynamic modifications of the check list properties See Config::Model::WarpedThing for details

For example:

*
A simple check list with help: 
        choice_list
        => { type => 'check_list',
             choice     => ['A' .. 'Z'],
             help => { A => 'A help', E => 'E help' } ,
           },
*
A check list with default values: 
        choice_list_with_default
        => { type => 'check_list',
             choice     => ['A' .. 'Z'],
             default_list   => [ 'A', 'D' ],
           },
*
A check list whose available choice and default change depending on the value of the "macro" parameter: 
        'warped_choice_list'
        => { type => 'check_list',
             warp => { follow => '- macro',
                       rules  => { AD => { choice => [ 'A' .. 'D' ], 
                                           default_list => ['A', 'B' ] },
                                   AH => { choice => [ 'A' .. 'H' ] },
                                 }
                     }
           },

Introspection methods

The following methods returns the checklist parameter :
refer_to
computed_refer_to

Choice reference

The choice items of a check_list can be given by another configuration element. This other element can be:
*
The keys of a hash
*
Another checklist. In this case only the checked items of the other checklist will be available.

This other hash or other checklist is indicated by the "refer_to" or "computed_refer_to" parameter. "refer_to" uses the syntax of the "step" parameter of grab(...)

See refer_to parameter.

Reference examples

*
A check list where the available choices are the keys of "my_hash" configuration parameter: 
        refer_to_list
        => { type => 'check_list',
             refer_to => '- my_hash'
           },
*
A check list where the available choices are the checked items of "other_check_list" configuration parameter: 
        other_check_list => { type => 'check_list', 
                              choice => [qw/A B C/]
                            },
        refer_to_list
        => { type => 'check_list',
             refer_to => '- other_check_list'
           },
*
A check list where the available choices are the keys of "my_hash" and "my_hash2" and "my_hash3" configuration parameter: 
        refer_to_3_lists
        => { type => 'check_list',
             refer_to => '- my_hash + - my_hash2   + - my_hash3'
           },
*
A check list where the available choices are the specified choice and the choice of "refer_to_3_lists" and a hash whose name is specified by the value of the "indirection" configuration parameter (this example is admitedly convoluted): 
        refer_to_check_list_and_choice
        => { type => 'check_list',
             computed_refer_to => { formula => '- refer_to_2_list + - $var',
                                    variables { 'var' => '- indirection ' }
                                  },
             choice  => [qw/A1 A2 A3/],
           },

Methods

get_type

Returns "check_list".

cargo_type()

Returns 'leaf'.

check ( $choice )

Set choice.

uncheck ( choice )

Unset choice

is_checked( choice )

Return 1 if the given "choice" was set. Returns 0 otherwise.

get_choice

Returns an array of all items names that can be checked (i.e. that can have value 0 or 1).

get_help (choice_value)

Return the help string on this choice value

clear

Reset the check list (all items are set to 0) (can also be called as "clear_values")

get_checked_list_as_hash ( [ custom | preset | standard | default ] )

Returns a hash (or a hash ref) of all items. The boolean value is the value of the hash.

Example:

  { A => 0, B => 1, C => 0 , D => 1}

By default, this method will return all items set by the user, or items set in preset mode or checked by default.

With a parameter, this method will return either:

custom
The list entered by the user
preset
The list entered in preset mode
standard
The list set in preset mode or checked by default.
default
The default list (defined by the configuration model)
upstream_default
The list implemented by upstream project (defined in the configuration model)

get_checked_list ( [ custom | preset | standard | default ] )

Returns a list (or a list ref) of all checked items (i.e. all items set to 1).

fetch ( [ custom | preset | standard | default ] )

Returns a string listing the checked items (i.e. ``A,B,C'')

get( path [, custom | preset | standard | default ])

Get a value from a directory like path.

set( path , values )

Set a checklist with a directory like path. Since a checklist is a leaf, the path should be empty. The values are a comma separated list of checked items.

Example : "$leaf->set('','A,C,Z') ;"

set_checked_list ( item1, item2, ..)

Set all passed items to checked (1). All other available items in the check list are set to 0.

Example:

   # set cl to A=0 B=1 C=0 D=1
   $cl->set_checked_list('B','D')

set_checked_list_as_hash ( A => 1, B => 1 )

Set check_list items. Missing items in the given list of parameters are set to 0.

The example ( A => 1, B => 1 ) above will give :

  A = 1 , B = 1, C = 0 , D = 0

load_data ( list_ref )

Load check_list as an array ref. Data is simply forwarded to set_checked_list.

Ordered checklist methods

All the methods below are valid only for ordered checklists.

swap ( choice_a, choice_b)

Swap the 2 given choice in the list. Both choice must be already set.

move_up ( choice )

Move the choice up in the checklist.

move_down ( choice )

Move the choice down in the checklist.
