"\n"; } =head1 DESCRIPTION This package provides an API to reading / editing and creating multiple vCards. A vCard is an electronic business card. This package has been developed based on rfc2426. You will find that many applications (Apple Address book, MS Outlook, Evolution etc) can export and import vCards. =head1 READING IN VCARDS =head2 load() use Text::vCard::Addressbook; # Read in from a list of files my $address_book = Text::vCard::Addressbook->load( ['foo.vCard', 'Addresses.vcf']); This method will croak if it is unable to read in any of the files. =cut sub load { my ($proto,$files) = @_; my $self = __PACKAGE__->new(); foreach my $file (@{$files}) { croak "Unable to read file $file" unless -r $file; $self->_process_text(scalar read_file($file)); } return $self; } =head2 new() # Read in from just one file my $address_book = Text::vCard::Addressbook->new({ 'source_file' => '/path/to/address.vcf', }); This method will croak if it is unable to read in the source_file. # File already in a string my $address_book = Text::vCard::Addressbook->new({ 'source_text' => $source_text, }); # Create a new address book my $address_book = Text::vCard::Addressbook->new(); Looping through all vcards in an address book. foreach my $vcard ($address_book->vcards()) { $vcard->...; } =cut sub new { my ($proto,$conf) = @_; my $class = ref($proto) || $proto; my $self = {}; if(defined $conf->{'source_file'}) { # Need to read in source file croak "Unable to read file $conf->{'source_file'}\n" unless -r $conf->{'source_file'}; $conf->{'source_text'} = read_file($conf->{'source_file'}); } # create some where to store out individual vCard objects my @cards; $self->{'cards'} = \@cards; bless($self,$class); # Process the text if we have it. $self->_process_text($conf->{'source_text'}) if defined $conf->{'source_text'}; return $self; } =head1 METHODS =head2 add_vcard() my $vcard = $address_book->add_vcard(); This method creates a new empty Text::vCard object, stores it in the address book and return it so you can add data to it. =cut sub add_vcard { my $self = shift; my $vcard = Text::vCard->new(); push(@{$self->{cards}}, $vcard); return $vcard; } =head2 vcards() my $vcards = $address_book->vcards(); my @vcards = $address_book->vcards(); This method returns a reference to an array or an array of vcards in this address book. This could be an empty list if there are no entries in the address book. =cut sub vcards { my $self = shift; return wantarray ? @{$self->{cards}} : $self->{cards}; } =head2 export() my $vcf_file = $address_book->export() This method returns the vcard data in the vcf file format. Please note there is no validation, you must ensure that the correct nodes (FN,N,VERSION) are already added to each vcard if you want to comply with RFC 2426. This might not escape the results correctly at the moment. =cut sub export { my $self = shift; my @lines; foreach my $vcard ($self->vcards()) { push @lines, 'BEGIN:VCARD'; while (my ($node_type,$nodes) = each %{ $vcard->{nodes} }) { # Make sure all the nodes values are up to date my @export_nodes; foreach my $node (@{$nodes}) { my $name = $node_type; if($node->group()) { # Add the group in to the name $name = $node->group() .
