NAME
Test2::EventFacet::Info - Facet for information a developer might care
about.
DESCRIPTION
This facet represents messages intended for humans that will help them
either understand a result, or diagnose a failure.
NOTES
This facet appears in a list instead of being a single item.
FIELDS
$string_or_structure = $info->{details}
$string_or_structure = $info->details()
Human readable string or data structure, this is the information to
display. Formatters are free to render the structures however they
please. This may contain a blessed object.
If the "table" attribute (see below) is set then a renderer may
choose to display the table instead of the details.
$structure = $info->{table}
$structure = $info->table()
If the data the "info" facet needs to convey can be represented as a
table then the data may be placed in this attribute in a more raw
form for better display. The data must also be represented in the
"details" attribute for renderers which do not support rendering
tables directly.
The table structure:
my %table = {
header => [ 'column 1 header', 'column 2 header', ... ], # Optional
rows => [
['row 1 column 1', 'row 1, column 2', ... ],
['row 2 column 1', 'row 2, column 2', ... ],
...
],
# Allow the renderer to hide empty columns when true, Optional
collapse => $BOOL,
# List by name or number columns that should never be collapsed
no_collapse => \@LIST,
}
$short_string = $info->{tag}
$short_string = $info->tag()
Short tag to categorize the info. This is usually 10 characters or
less, formatters may truncate longer tags.
$bool = $info->{debug}
$bool = $info->debug()
Set this to true if the message is critical, or explains a failure.
This is info that should be displayed by formatters even in less-
verbose modes.
When false the information is not considered critical and may not be
rendered in less-verbose modes.
$bool = $info->{important}
$bool = $info->important
This should be set for non debug messages that are still important
enough to show when a formatter is in quiet mode. A formatter should
send these to STDOUT not STDERR, but should show them even in non-
verbose mode.
