NAME

Data::Record::Serialize::Encode::table - encode records as a formatted table and output it

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Record::Serialize;
my $s = Data::Record::Serialize->new( encode => 'table', ... );
$s->send( \%record );

DESCRIPTION

Data::Record::Serialize::Encode::table encodes records into table form using Term::Table.

It performs both the Data::Record::Serialize::Role::Encode and Data::Record::Serialize::Role::Sink roles.

Do not construct this directly; use "new" in Data::Record::Serialize. The following named parameters may be passed to it:

• output

  This parameter is required. One of the following:

  • The name of an output file (which will be created). If it is the string -, output will be written to the standard output stream. Must not be the empty string.
  • a reference to a scalar to which the records will be written.
  • a GLOB (i.e. \*STDOUT), or a reference to an object which derives from IO::Handle (e.g. IO::File, FileHandle, etc.). These will not be closed upon destruction of the serializer or when the "close" method is called.

• create_output_dir => Boolean

  If true, the directory which will contain the output file is created. Defaults to false.

The following parameters are passed as-is to "new" in Term::Table.

• allow_overflow
• auto_columns
• collapse
• mark_tail
• max_width
• no_collapse
• pad
• sanitize
• show_header
