## Detailed Description

this class is a base class for mapping data; see Mapper Examples for usage examples

## Member Function Documentation

private Mapper::Mapper::checkMapField | ( | string | k,
|  | reference | fh,
|  | *hash | th
| ) |  |

perform per-field pre-processing on the passed map in the constructor

Parameters

  k | the field name
  fh | a reference to the field's value in the map

Mapper::Mapper::constructor | ( | hash | map,
|  | *hash | opts
| ) |  |

builds the object based on a hash providing field mappings, data constraints, and optionally custom mapping logic

Example:
  const DataMap = (
  # output field: "id" mapper from the "Id" element of any "^attributes^" hash in the input record
  "id": "^attributes^.Id",
  # output field: "name": maps from an input field with the same name (no translations are made)
  "name": True,
  # output field: "explicit_count": maps from the input "Count" field, if any value is present then it is converted to an integer
  "explicit_count": ("type": "int", "name": "Count"),
  # output field: "implicit_count": runs the given code on the input record and retuns the result, the code returns the number of "Products" sub-records
  "implicit_count": int sub (any $ignored, hash $rec) { return $rec.Products.size(); },
  # output field: "order_date": converts the "OrderDate" string input field to a date in the specified format
  "order_date": ("name": "OrderDate", "date_format": "DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm:SS.us"),
  );
  my Mapper $map(DataMap);

Parameters

  map | a hash providing field mappings; each hash key is the name of the output field; each value is either True (meaning no translations are done; the data is copied 1:1) or a hash describing the mapping; see Mapper Specification Format for detailed documnentation for this option
  opts | an optional hash of options for the mapper; see Mapper Options for a description of valid mapper options

Exceptions

  MAP-ERROR | the map hash has a logical error (ex: `"trunc"` key given without `"maxlen"`, invalid map key)

int Mapper::Mapper::getCount | ( |  | ) |

returns the internal record count

See Also
  resetCount()

list Mapper::Mapper::mapAll | ( | softlist | recs | ) |

maps all input records and returns the mapped data as a list of output records

this method applies the mapData() method to all input records and returns the resulting list

Parameters

  recs | the list of input records

Returns
  the mapped data as a list of output records

Exceptions

  MISSING-INPUT | a field marked mandatory is missing
  STRING-TOO-LONG | a field value exceeds the maximum value and the 'trunc' key is not set
  INVALID-NUMBER | the field is marked as numeric but the input value contains non-numeric data

hash Mapper::Mapper::mapData | ( | hash | rec | ) |

processes the input record and returns a hash of the mapped values where the keys in the hash returned are the target field names; the order of the fields in the hash returned is the same order as the keys in the map hash.

Parameters

  rec | the record to translate

Returns
  a hash of field values in the target format based on the input data and processed according to the logic in the map hash

Exceptions

  MISSING-INPUT | a field marked mandatory is missing
  STRING-TOO-LONG | a field value exceeds the maximum value and the 'trunc' key is not set
  INVALID-NUMBER | the field is marked as numeric but the input value contains non-numeric data

Note
  each time this method is executed successfully, the record count is updated (see getCount() and resetCount())

hash Mapper::Mapper::optionKeys | ( |  | ) |

returns a list of valid constructor options for this class (can be overridden in subclasses)

Returns
  a list of valid constructor options for this class (can be overridden in subclasses)

Mapper::Mapper::resetCount | ( |  | ) |

resets the internal record count

  getCount()

hash Mapper::Mapper::validKeys | ( |  | ) |

returns a list of valid field keys for this class (can be overridden in subclasses)

Returns
  a list of valid field keys for this class (can be overridden in subclasses)

hash Mapper::Mapper::validTypes | ( |  | ) |

returns a list of valid field types for this class (can be overridden in subclasses)

Returns
  a list of valid types for this class (can be overridden in subclasses)
