Options:
--input - Input short name (required)
--output - Output short name (required)
--filter - Filter short name (default Null)
--decoder - Decoder short name (default JSON)
--encoder - Encoder short name (default JSON)
--input_options - JSON options string for input
--output_options - JSON options string for output
--filter_options - JSON options string for filter
--decoder_options - JSON options string for decoder
--encoder_options - JSON options string for encoder
OR:
--configfile - Config file (to load with Config::Any)
supplying the above options
DESCRIPTION
Builds a simple chain of Message::Passing components, looking like this:
Input => Decoder => Filter => Encoder => Output
This allows you to input a message from one protocol, decode it, process it and then output it again having encoded it.
The simplest example of doing this is:
message-pass --input STDIN --output STDOUT
Which will echo JSON strings you type back to the terminal.
CLASS NAME EXPANSION
All short class names undergo expansion as detailed below, except for names which are prefixed with a '+', which implies a full class name.E.g.
message-pass --input '+My::Example::Input' --output STDOUT
The expansions are:
- input
- Message::Passing::Input::XXX
- output
- Message::Passing::Output::XXX
- filter
- Message::Passing::Filter::XXX
- encoder
- Message::Passing::Filter::Encoder::XXX
- decoder
- Message::Passing::Filter::Decoder::XXX
CONFIG FILE
If the "--configfile" option is supplied, then a config file will be used.The format of data in this config file matches that required of the command line options, e.g.
{ "input":"XXX", "input_options":{}, "output":"XXX", "output_options":{}, "filter":"XXX", "filter_options":{}, "encoder":"XXX", "encoder_options":{}, "decoder":"XXX", "decoder_options":{} }
Any config format supported by Config::Any can be used, however JSON is the only format which is certain to work without additional dependencies which are not required by this module.
