You have to specify a name for each item. These names need to be unique within one collection, but feel free to give the same name to an e-mail address and a location.
One used option is not defined. Check the manual page of the class to see which options are accepted.
More than one option is not defined.
Free format description on this item. Please do not add any significance to the content of this field: if you are in need for an extra attribute, please contact the author of the module to implement it, or extend the object to suit your needs.
The name of this item. Names are unique within a collection... a second object with the same name within any collection will destroy the already existing object with that name.
Changing the name of an item is quite dangerous. You probably want to call User::Identity::Collection::renameRole() instead.
The ROLE is added to the COLLECTION. The COLLECTION is the name of a collection, which will be created automatically with addCollection() if needed. The COLLECTION can also be specified as existing collection object.
The ROLE is anything what is acceptable to User::Identity::Collection::addRole() of the collection at hand, and is returned. ROLE typically is a list of parameters for one role, or a reference to an array containing these values.
my $ui = User::Identity->new(...); my $home = $ui->add(location => [home => street => '27 Roadstreet', ...] ); my $work = $ui->add(location => work, tel => '+31-2231-342-13', ... ); my $travel = User::Identity::Location->new(travel => ...); $ui->add(location => $travel); my $system = User::Identity::Collection::System->new(...); $ui->add($system => 'localhost');
The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
Add a new collection of roles to an item. This can be achieved in two ways: either create an User::Identity::Collection OBJECT yourself and then pass that to this method, or supply all the OPTIONS needed to create such an object and it will be created for you. The object which is added is returned, and can be used for many methods directly.
For OPTIONS, see the specific type of collection. Additional options are listed below.
Option | Default |
---|---|
type | <required> |
my $me = User::Identity->new(...); my $locs = User::Identity::Collection::Locations->new(); $me->addCollection($locs); my $email = $me->addCollection(type => 'email'); my $email = $me->addCollection('email');
The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends User::Identity::Collection.
Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named $class returns compilation errors. If the type as specified in the warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname which was not defined. Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package which defines the nickname.
The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object of that class using the options you specified.
If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a list of options which can be used to create a collection object. In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified.
In scalar context the collection object with the NAME is returned. In list context, all the roles within the collection are returned.
my @roles = $me->collection('email'); # list of collected items my @roles = $me->collection('email')->roles; # same of collected items my $coll = $me->collection('email'); # a User::Identity::Collection
Returns the object with the specified ROLE within the named collection. The collection can be specified as name or object.
my $role = $me->find(location => 'work'); # one location my $role = $me->collection('location')->find('work'); # same my $email = $me->addCollection('email'); $me->find($email => 'work'); $email->find('work'); # same
Returns the parent of an Item (the enclosing item). This may return undef
if the object is stand-alone.
Go from this object to its parent, to its parent, and so on, until a User::Identity is found or the top of the object tree has been reached.
print $email->user->fullName;
