=head1 NAME
Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar - return Dwarn @return_value
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar;
return Dwarn some_call(...)
is equivalent to:
use Data::Dumper::Concise;
if (wantarray) {
my @return = some_call(...);
warn Dumper(@return);
return @return;
} else {
my $return = some_call(...);
warn Dumper($return);
return $return;
}
but shorter. If you need to force scalar context on the value,
use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar;
return DwarnS some_call(...)
is equivalent to:
use Data::Dumper::Concise;
my $return = some_call(...);
warn Dumper($return);
return $return;
If you need to force list context on the value,
use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar;
return DwarnL some_call(...)
is equivalent to:
use Data::Dumper::Concise;
my @return = some_call(...);
warn Dumper(@return);
return @return;
If you want to label your output, try DwarnN
use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar;
return DwarnN $foo
is equivalent to:
use Data::Dumper::Concise;
my @return = some_call(...);
warn '$foo => ' . Dumper(@return);
return @return;
If you want to output a reference returned by a method easily, try $Dwarn
$foo->bar->{baz}->$Dwarn
is equivalent to:
my $return = $foo->bar->{baz};
warn Dumper($return);
return $return;
If you want to format the output of your data structures, try DwarnF
my ($a, $c) = DwarnF { "awesome: $_[0] not awesome: $_[1]" } $awesome, $cheesy;
is equivalent to:
my @return = ($awesome, $cheesy);
warn DumperF { "awesome: $_[0] not awesome: $_[1]" } $awesome, $cheesy;
return @return;
If you want to immediately die after outputting the data structure, every
Dwarn subroutine has a paired Ddie version, so just replace the warn with die.
For example:
DdieL 'foo', { bar => 'baz' };
=head1 DESCRIPTION
use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar;
will import Dwarn, $Dwarn, DwarnL, DwarnN, and DwarnS into your namespace. Using
L<Exporter>, so see its docs for ways to make it do something else.
=head2 Dwarn
sub Dwarn { return DwarnL(@_) if wantarray; DwarnS($_[0]) }
=head2 $Dwarn
$Dwarn = \&Dwarn
=head2 $DwarnN
$DwarnN = \&DwarnN
=head2 DwarnL
sub Dwarn { warn Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper @_; @_ }
=head2 DwarnS
sub DwarnS ($) { warn Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper $_[0]; $_[0] }
=head2 DwarnN
sub DwarnN { warn '$argname => ' . Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper $_[0]; $_[0] }
B<Note>: this requires L<Devel::ArgNames> to be installed.
=head2 DwarnF
sub DwarnF (&@) { my $c = shift; warn &Data::Dumper::Concise::DumperF($c, @_); @_ }
=head1 TIPS AND TRICKS
=head2 global usage
Instead of always just doing:
use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar;
Dwarn ...
We tend to do:
perl -MData::Dumper::Concise::Sugar foo.pl
(and then in the perl code:)
::Dwarn ...
That way, if you leave them in and run without the
C<< use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar >> the program will fail to compile and
you are less likely to check it in by accident. Furthmore it allows that
much less friction to add debug messages.
=head2 method chaining
One trick which is useful when doing method chaining is the following:
my $foo = Bar->new;
$foo->bar->baz->Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar::DwarnS->biff;
which is the same as:
my $foo = Bar->new;
(DwarnS $foo->bar->baz)->biff;
=head1 SEE ALSO
You probably want L<Devel::Dwarn>, it's the shorter name for this module.
