=head1 NAME
Bio::DB::GFF::Typename -- The name of a feature type
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::DB::GFF;
my $type = Bio::DB::GFF::Typename->new(similarity => 'BLAT_EST_GENOME');
my $segment = $segment->features($type);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Bio::DB::GFF::Typename objects encapsulate the combination of feature
method and source used by the GFF flat file format. They can be used
in the Bio::DB::GFF modules wherever a feature type is called for.
Since there are relatively few types and many features, this module
maintains a memory cache of unique types so that two features of the
same type will share the same Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object.
=head1 METHODS
=cut
package Bio::DB::GFF::Typename;
use strict;
use overload
'""' => 'asString',
fallback => 1;
use base qw(Bio::Root::Root Bio::Das::FeatureTypeI);
# cut down on the number of equivalent objects we have to create
my %OBJECT_CACHE;
=head2 new
Title : new
Usage : $type = Bio::DB::GFF::Typename->new($method,$source)
Function: create a new Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
Args : method and source
Status : Public
=cut
sub new {
my $package = shift;
my ($method,$source) = @_;
$method ||= '';
$source ||= '';
if ($source eq '' && $method =~ /^([\w-]+):([\w-]*)$/) {
$method = $1;
$source = $2;
}
return $OBJECT_CACHE{"$method:$source"} ||= bless [$method,$source],$package;
}
=head2 method
Title : method
Usage : $method = $type->method([$newmethod])
Function: get or set the method
Returns : a method name
Args : new method name (optional)
Status : Public
=cut
sub method {
my $self = shift;
my $d = $self->[0];
$self->[0] = shift if @_;
$d;
}
=head2 source
Title : source
Usage : $source = $type->source([$newsource])
Function: get or set the source
Returns : a source name
Args : new source name (optional)
Status : Public
=cut
sub source {
my $self = shift;
my $d = $self->[1];
$self->[1] = shift if @_;
$d;
}
=head2 asString
Title : asString
Usage : $string = $type->asString
Function: get the method and source as a string
Returns : a string in "method:source" format
Args : none
Status : Public
This method is used by operator overloading to overload the '""'
operator.
=cut
sub asString {
$_[0]->[1] ? join ':',@{$_[0]} : $_[0]->[0];
}
=head2 clone
Title : clone
Usage : $new_clone = $type->clone;
Function: clone this object
Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
Args : none
Status : Public
This method creates an exact copy of the object.
=cut
sub clone {
my $self = shift;
return bless [@$self],ref $self;
}
=head2 match
Title : match
Usage : $boolean = $type->match($type_or_string)
Function: fuzzy match on types
Returns : a flag indicating that the argument matches the object
Args : a Bio::DB::GFF::typename object, or a string in method:source format
Status : Public
This match allows Sequence:Link and Sequence: to match, but not
Sequence:Link and Sequence:Genomic_canonical.
=cut
sub match {
my $self = shift;
my $target = shift;
my ($method,$source);
if (UNIVERSAL::isa($target,'Bio::DB::GFF::Typename')) {
($method,$source) = ($target->method,$target->source);
} else {
($method,$source) = split /:/,$target;
}
$source ||= ''; # quash uninit variable warnings
return if $method ne '' && $self->method ne '' && $method ne $self->method;
return if $source ne '' && $self->source ne '' && $source ne $self->source;
