Iterator::GroupedRange - Iterates retrieving a set of specified number rows

SYNOPSIS

use Iterator::GroupedRange;

my @ds = (
  [ 1 .. 6 ],
  [ 7 .. 11 ],
  [ 11 .. 25 ],
);

my $i1 = Iterator::GroupedRange->new( sub { shift @ds; }, 10 );
$i1->next; # [ 1 .. 10 ]
$i1->next; # [ 11 .. 20 ]
$i1->next; # [ 21 .. 25 ]

my $i2 = Iterator::GroupedRange->new( [ 1 .. 25 ], 10 );
$i2->next; # [ 1 .. 10 ]
$i2->next; # [ 11 .. 20 ]
$i2->next; # [ 21 .. 25 ]

DESCRIPTION

Iterator::GroupedRange is module to iterate retrieving a set of specified number rows. Code reference or list reference becomes provider of sets.

It accepts other iterator to get rows, or list.

METHODS

new( \&provider[, $range, \%opts] )

new( \@list[, $range, \%opts] )

Return new instance. Arguments details are:

&provider

The code reference must be taking a list reference or undef. If the return value is undef or empty array reference, #has_next() will return false value.

@list

This list reference will be code reference that will be return a set of specified number rows.

$range

Most number of retriving rows by each iteration. Default value is 1000.

%opts

rows

Accessor of rows field.

has_next()

List::MoreUtils

List::MoreUtils has natatime subroutine looks like this module. The natatime subroutine can treat only list.

DBI

DBI's fetchall_arrayref can accepts max_rows argument. This feature is similar to this module. For example:

use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;

my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT id FROM people');
while ( my $ids = $sth->fetchall_arrayref(undef, 100) ) {
    $ids = [ map { $_->[0] } @$ids ];
    warn Dumper($ids);
}
