Data::Hive::Store - a backend storage driver for Data::Hive

version 1.008

Data::Hive::Store is a generic interface to a backend store for Data::Hive.

All methods are passed at least a 'path' (arrayref of namespace pieces). Store classes exist to operate on the entities found at named paths.

  print $store->get(\@path, \%opt);

Return the resource represented by the given path.

  $store->set(\@path, $value, \%opt);

Analogous to get.

  print $store->name(\@path, \%opt);

Return a store-specific name for the given path. This is primarily useful for stores that may be accessed independently of the hive.

  if ($store->exists(\@path, \%opt)) { ... }

Returns true if the given path exists in the store.

  $store->delete(\@path, \%opt);

Delete the given path from the store. Return the previous value, if any.

  my @keys = $store->keys(\@path, \%opt);

This returns a list of next-level path elements that lead toward existing values. For more information on the expected behavior, see the KEYS method in Data::Hive.
