NAME Tree::From::ObjArray - Build a tree of objects from a nested array of objects VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Tree::From::ObjArray (from Perl distribution Tree-From-ObjArray), released on 2021-05-06. SYNOPSIS In your tree node class My/Person.pm: package My::Person; sub new { my $class = shift; my %args = @_; bless \%args, $class; } sub parent { my $self = shift; $self->{_parent} = $_[0] if $@; $self->{_parent}; } sub children { my $self = shift; $self->{_children} = $_[0] if $@; $self->{_children}; } In your code to build a tree: use Tree::From::ObjArray qw(build_tree_from_obj_array); # require all the used classes use My::Person; use My::MarriedPerson; use My::KidPerson; my $family_tree = build_tree_from_obj_array([ My::Person->new(name => 'Andi', age => 60), [ My::Person->new(name => 'Budi', age => 30), My::MarriedPerson->new(name => 'Cinta'), [ My::KidPerson->new(name => 'Deni'), My::KidPerson->new(name => 'Eno'), ], ] ]); This tree is visualized as follows: Andi ├─Budi └─Cinta ├─Deni └─Eno DESCRIPTION Building a tree manually can be tedious: you have to connect the parent and the children nodes together: my $root = My::TreeNode->new(...); my $child1 = My::TreeNode->new(...); my $child2 = My::TreeNode->new(...); $root->children([$child1, $child2]); $child1->parent($root); $child2->parent($root); my $grandchild1 = My::TreeNode->new(...); ... This module provides a convenience function to build a tree of objects in a single command. It connects the parent and children nodes for you. The class can be any class that provides "parent" and "children" methods. See Role::TinyCommons::Tree::Node for more details. FUNCTIONS build_tree_from_obj_array($obj_array) => obj This is basically Role::TinyCommons::Tree::FromObjArray's "new_from_obj_array" presented as a function. See the role's documentation for more details on what you can put in $obj_array. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at . BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests on the bugtracker website When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature.
