Net::EtcDv2(3)

NAME
Net::EtcDv2 - A object oriented Perl module to interact with the EtcD version 2 API

VERSION
Version 0.0.1

SYNOPSIS
    use feature say;
    use Data::Dumper;
    use Net::EtcDv2;

    # create an un-authenticated object for an etcd running on localhost on
    # port 2379
    my $foo = Net::EtcDv2->new(
        'host' => "http://localhost",
        'port' => 2379
    );

    my $stat_struct = $foo->stat('/myDir');
    say Dumper $stat_struct;

    # outputs the following if '/myDir' exists and is a directory
    # $VAR1 = {
    #   'type' => 'dir',
    #   'uri' => 'http://localhost:2379/myDir',
    #   'ace' => '*:POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE',
    #   'entryId' => 'cdf818194f3b8d32:23'
    # };
    #
    # The ACE is the access allowed methods and and origin for that path, and
    # the 'entryId' is made up from the cluster ID and the etcd item index ID

DESCRIPTION
The Net::EtcDv2 module allows code to create, read, update, and delete key/value data in an etcd cluster. Additionally, using the v2 API, this module can create, list, and delete directories in the key store to organize the data.

Additionally, this module can manage users and roles, which govern the access rights to the key/value heirarchy.

METHODS

  new
The constructor for the class. For now, we only support HTTP basic authentication.

If the DEBUG environment variable is set, the class will emit debugging output on STDERR.

Parameters:

  - class, SCALAR: The class name
  - args,  HASH:   A hash of named parameters:
    - host:        the hostname of the etcd endpoint
    - port:        the port number of the etcd endpoint
    - user:        the username authorized for the etcd environment
    - password:    the password for the user authorized for the etcd
                   environment

  stat
This method takes a path and gathers information about the etcd object. If the item doesn't exist, it throws an exception (error code 6).

Parameters:

  - self, SCALAR REF: the object reference
  - path, SCALAR:     the path segment of the URI to get info for

Return type:

  - stat_struct: HASH: the stat information for the path

Exceptions:

If the object is not found (HTTP 404), the method will emit error ENXIO

  ls
This method, like stat, takes a path and gathers information about the etcd object. If the item doesn't exist, it throws an exception (error code 6).

Unlike "stat", it only returns in the JSON response the node name, type, and whether it has any children. In addition, while "stat" only returns specific information about the named node, ls can do recursive listing, and if the item requested was a directory, it's immediate children; any child items are nested in the response.

Parameters:

  - self, SCALAR REF: the object reference
  - path, SCALAR:     the path segment of the URI to get info for
  - recursive, SCALAR boolean [OPTIONAL]: Whether to recursively descend into
                                          sub directories

Return type:

  - status, SCALAR boolean: Whether the listing was successful or not
  - stat_struct: HASH: the stat information for the path

Exceptions:

If the object is not found (HTTP 404), the method will emit error ENXIO

  mkdir
This method creates a directory if the named object does not already exist at that level of the heirarchy. If it already exists, no matter if it is a key or directory, it emits an exception.

Parameters:

  - self, SCALAR REF: the object reference
  - path, SCALAR:     the full path to create

Return type:

  - path, SCALAR:     the full path that was created

Exceptions:

If the named entry, irregardless of the type, exists, the method will emit error EEXIST

  rmdir
This method will delete a directory if the named object exists, and is empty. If any of the following are true, the method emits and appropriate exception:

  - If the directory does not exist
  - If the directory is not empty unless the recursive flag is passed
  - If the object is not a directory

Parameters:

  - self, SCALAR REF:   the object reference
  - path, SCALAR:       the full path to delete
  - recursive, boolean: whether to recursively delete the directory if it
                        contains any content

Return type:

  - path: SCALAR:       the path that was created

Exceptions:

The following exceptions are emitted during error events:

  - If the directory does not exist, a 404 exception is thrown
  - If the directory is not empty, a 400 exception is thrown
  - If the object is not a directory, a 400 exception is thrown
