It provides a way to manipulate a FAQ-O-Matic from Perl code. Operations are performed by making HTTP requests on the FAQ-O-Matic server; this ensures that any operation is performed in exactly the same environment as it would be if it were requested by a human using a web browser. =head1 Setup The following methods are used to set up an API object. =over 4 =cut use FAQ::OMatic; use LWP::UserAgent; use URI; use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET POST); =item $fom_api = new FAQ::OMatic::API([$url, [$id, $pass]]); Constructs a new C object that points at the FAQ whose CGI is at C<$url>. Requests will be authenticated on behalf of FAQ user C<$id> using password C<$pass>. =cut sub new { my ($class) = shift; my $api = {}; $api->{'auth'} = []; $api->{'cacheTimeout'} = 24*60*60; bless $api; if (scalar(@_)>=1) { $api->setURL(shift(@_)); } if (scalar(@_)>=2) { $api->setAuth(shift(@_), shift(@_)); } return $api; } =item $fom_api->setURL($url); Sets the URL of the target FAQ's CGI. This is where requests will be sent. =cut sub setURL { my $self = shift; my $url = shift; $self->{'url'} = $url; } =item $fom_api->setAuth($id, $pass); Sets the ID and password that will be used to authenticate requests. =item $fom_api->setAuth('query'); Passing in 'query' will cause the script to query the terminal for the C and C at runtime. =cut sub setAuth { my $self = shift; my $id = shift; my $pass = shift; if ($id eq 'query') { # defer auth to input from user $self->{'auth'} = 'query'; } else { $self->{'auth'} = [ 'auth'=>'pass', '_pass_id'=>$id, '_pass_pass'=>$pass ]; } } # THANKS to Dirk Husemann for this feature diff. sub setCachePath { my $self = shift; my $cachePath = shift; $self->{'cachePath'} = $cachePath; } sub setCacheTimeout { my $self = shift; $self->{'cacheTimeout'} = shift || 24*60*60; } =back =head1 Queries The following methods retrieve information about a FAQ-O-Matic. =over 4 =item $fom_api->getCategories() Returns a list of the categories (by file name) in the FAQ. =cut sub getCategories { my $self = shift; $self->getMirrorList(); return map { $_->[0]->[1] } @{$self->{'categories'}}; } =item $item = $fom_api->getItem($filename) Returns a local FAQ::OMatic::Item object created by retrieving C<$filename> from the FAQ. You can perform operations on the result such as: print $item->getTitle(); $parentItem = $item->getParent(); print $item->displayHTML({'render'=>'text'}); =cut sub getItem { my $self = shift; my $filename = shift; my ($rc, $msg) = $self->getMirrorList(); return ($rc, $msg) if (not $rc); my $uri = new URI($self->{'url'}); $uri->path($self->{'itemURL'}.$filename); my $req = GET($uri); my $rep = $self->userAgent()->request($req); if (not $rep->is_success()) { if ($self->{'debug'} || '') { print "Request: ".$uri->as_string()."\n"; $self->dumpresp($rep); } return (0, "\$rep reports failure: ".$rep->status_line."\nrequest was: ".$uri); } my $item = new FAQ::OMatic::Item(); $item->{'filename'} = $filename; $item->loadFromString($rep->content(), $filename); return (1, $item); } =item my ($rc, $result) = $fom_api->fuzzyMatch(['Parent Category','child cat']) my ($rc, $result) = $fom_api->fuzzyMatch(['Parent Category','child cat']) die $result if (not $rc); my $item = $fom_api->getItem($result->[0]); C attempts to figure out which category the last string in its array argument represents. The category name is matched "fuzzily" against existing categories. If a unique match is found, it is returned (as an array ref C<[$filename, $parent, $title]>). If the match is ambiguous, the previous array element is matched against the parents of the set of fuzzy matches. This is performed recursively until the child category is disambiguated. Fuzzy matching means that =over 4 =item (a) You don't have to get the parent category names right if they're not needed to disambiguate the child category. =item (b) Category names are matched without respect to case, spacing, or punctuation: only alphanumerics matter. Also, the name you supply only has to appear somewhere inside the one you want to match. (Exact matches are preferred; this allows you to match categories whose names are prefixes of other category names.) =back =cut # TODO: It wouldn't be a difficult modification to let you match # answers as well as categories, which would be useful for appending # to existing answers (rather than creating new answers in existing # categories). sub fuzzyMatch { my $self = shift; my $path = shift; # ary ref my $cats = $self->catnames(); my @rpath = reverse (@{$path}); for (my $depth = 0; $depth<@rpath; $depth++) { # look for match at leaf node; disambiguate by rising up tree my $matchname = $rpath[$depth]; $matchname = lc($matchname); # lowercase $matchname =~ s/\W//g; # only alphanumerics + '_' # try for an exact match my @matchcats = grep { my $catname = $_->[2]; $catname = lc($catname); # lowercase $catname =~ s/\W//g; # only alphanumerics + '_' $catname =~ m/^$matchname$/; # check for exact match } @{$cats}; if (@matchcats == 0) { # fall back to fuzzier match (allow any prefix, suffix) @matchcats = grep { my $catname = $_->[2]; $catname = lc($catname); # lowercase $catname =~ s/\W//g; # only alphanumerics + '_' $catname =~ m/$matchname/; # check for inclusion } @{$cats}; } if (scalar(@matchcats)==1) { # unambiguous -- unwind the parent chain to get to the leaf my $cat = $matchcats[0]; while (defined $cat->[3]) { $cat = $cat->[3]; # has child? unwind child. } return (1, $cat); } elsif (scalar(@matchcats)==0) { # unmatched return (0, "no names match ".join(":", @{$path})); } else { # ambiguous: attempt to disambiguate at next higher depth $cats = [ map { my $parentcat = $self->catByName($_->[1]); [ @{$parentcat}, $_ ]; } @matchcats ]; if ($self->{'debug'}) { print "matched ".scalar(@{$cats})." items at level $depth\n"; print map {" m: ".join(",", @{$_})."\n"} @{$cats}; } next; } } # ran out of names to disambiguate with return (0, join(":", @{$path})." -- not enough levels to disambiguate"); } =back =head1 Operations The following methods perform operations on a FAQ-O-Matic. =over 4 =item $fom_api->newAnswer($parent, $title, $text) A new answer is created as a child of item C<$parent>.
