HTML::Table::FromDatabase 1.00 released with row_callbacks feature
by bigpresh on May.24, 2011, under Perl, Programming
I just released version 1.00 of HTML::Table::FromDatabase, with a new row_callbacks feature.
You could already declare callbacks on a cell-level basis, so you could say, format monetary values appropriately, round numeric columns, turn URLs into clickable links etc. Now, you can also declare a callback which receives an entire row as a hashref, which it can modify as needed.
An (admittedly somewhat contrived) example from the documentation:
my $table = HTML::Table::FromDatabase->new( -sth => $sth, -row_callbacks => [ sub { my $row = shift; if ($row->{name} eq 'Bob') { # Hide this row $row = undef; } elsif ($row->{name} eq 'John') { # John likes to be called Jean these days: $row->{name} = 'Jean'; } }, ], );
I decided to bump the version to 1.00 for the sake of anyone who considers 0.x versions to be unready for production use; this module has been about since 2008 and is working well in production use for me.
