Perl::Critic::PolicyPaUsertContributed Perl DoPerl::Critic::PolicyParameter(3)NAMEPerl::Critic::PolicyParameter - Metadata about a parameter for a
Policy.
DESCRIPTION
A provider of validation and parsing of parameter values and metadata
about the parameter.
INTERFACE SUPPORT
This is considered to be a public class. Any changes to its interface
will go through a deprecation cycle.
METHODS
"get_name()"
Return the name of the parameter. This is the key that will be
looked for in the .perlcriticrc.
"get_description()"
Return an explanation of the significance of the parameter, as
provided by the developer of the policy.
"get_default_string()"
Return a representation of the default value of this parameter as
it would appear if it was specified in a .perlcriticrc file.
"parse_and_validate_config_value( $parser, $config )"
Extract the configuration value for this parameter from the overall
configuration and initialize the policy based upon it.
"generate_full_description()"
Produce a more complete explanation of the significance of this
parameter than the value returned by "get_description()".
If no description can be derived, returns the empty string.
Note that the result may contain multiple lines.
"to_formatted_string( $format )"
Generate a string representation of this parameter, based upon the
format.
The format is a combination of literal and escape characters
similar to the way "sprintf" works. If you want to know the
specific formatting capabilities, look at String::Format. Valid
escape characters are:
%n The name of the parameter.
%d The description, as supplied by the programmer.
%D The default value, in a parsable form.
%f The full description, which is an extension of the value
returned by %d. Takes a parameter of a prefix for the
beginning of each line.
