DESCRIPTION

These are utility functions which I found useful building Web-ID. Many of them may also be useful creating the kind of apps that Web-ID is used to authenticate for.

Here is a very brief summary. By default, they're all exported to your namespace. (This module uses Exporter::Tiny so you get pretty good control over what gets exported.)

"true" - constant for true

"false" - constant for false

"read_only" - constant for string 'ro' (nice for Moose/Mouse)

"read_write" - constant for string 'rw' (nice for Moose/Mouse)

"get_trine_model($url)" - fetches a URL and parses RDF into an RDF::Trine::Model

"u($curie)" - expands a CURIE, returning an RDF::Trine::Node::Resource

"uu($curie)" - as per "u($curie)", but returns string

"u()" - called with no CURIE, returns the RDF::Trine::NamespaceMap used to map CURIEs to URIs

"make_bigint_from_node($node, %options)" - makes a Math::BigInt object from a numeric RDF::Trine::Node::Literal. Supports most datatypes you'd care about, including hexadecimally ones.

Supported options are "fallback" which provides a fallback node which will be used when $node is non-literal; and "fallback_type" either 'dec' or 'hex' which is used when parsing the fallback node, or if $node is a plain literal. (The actual datatype of the fallback node is ignored for hysterical raisins.)

Additionally, any function from List::MoreUtils can be exported by request, except "true" and "false" as they conflict with the constants above.

  use Web::ID::Utils qw(:default uniq);
