=head1 NAME

Test::NiceDump - let's have a nice and human readable dump of our objects!

=head1 VERSION

version 1.0.1

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Test::Deep;
    use Test::NiceDump 'nice_explain';

    cmp_deeply($got,$expected,'it works')
        or nice_explain($got,$expected);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module uses L<< C<Data::Dump::Filtered> >> and a set of sensible
filters to dump test data in a more readable way.

For example, L<< C<DateTime> >> objects get printed in the full ISO
8601 format, and L<< C<DBIx::Class::Row> >> objects get printed as
hashes of their inflated columns.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 C<nice_dump>

    my $dumped_string = nice_dump $data;

Serialise C<$data> in a nice, readable way.

=head2 C<nice_explain>

    nice_explain $data;
    nice_explain $data, $comparator;

Calls L<< /C<nice_dump> >> on C<$data> and C<$comparator> (if
provided), and uses L<< C<diag>|Test::Builder/diag >> to provide test
failure feedback with the dumped strings.

=head1 HOW TO ADD FILTERS

If the built-in filtering of input data is not enough for you, you can
add extra filters. A filter is a coderef that takes a single argument
(the value to be dumped), and returns either:

=over

=item nothing at all

to signal that it won't handle this particular value

=item any single value

which will be dumped instead

=back

Let's say you have a class C<My::Class>, and you don't want its
instances to be dumped directly (maybe they contain cached data that's
not very useful to see). That class may have a C<as_data_for_log>
method that returns only the important bits of data (as a hashref,
probably), so you want the return value of that method to be dumped
instead. You could say:

    use Safe::Isa;

    Test::NiceDump::add_filter(
        my_filter => sub {
            $_[0]->$_isa('My::Class')
                ? $_[0]->as_data_for_log
                : ();
        },
    );

or, if you want to do the same for any object with that method:

    use Safe::Isa;

    Test::NiceDump::add_filter(
        my_filter => sub { $_[0]->$_call_if_can('as_data_for_log') },
    );

=head2 C<add_filter>

  Test::NiceDump::add_filter($name => $code);

Adds a new filter. Adding a filter with an existing name overrides it.

Filters are invoked in C<cmp> order of name. The names of all built-in
filters match C</^Test::NiceDump::/>.

Try to be specific with your checks, to avoid surprises due to the
interaction of different filters.

Your filter I<must> return nothing at all if it didn't handle the
value. Failure to do so will probably lead to infinite recursion.

=head2 C<remove_filter>

  Test::NiceDump::remove_filter($name);

Removes the filter with the given name. Nothing happens if such a
filter does not exist.
