All methods are class methods, but they also work just fine on a blessed instance. There is no benefit to
a blessed instance, but you can create one for convenience if it makes you more comfortable.
$inst = $class->new()
Create a blessed instance. This is here for convenience only. All methods are class methods.
$arrayref = $class->render_one_line($event)
$arrayref = $class->render_one_line(\%facet_data)
my $out = $comp->render_one_line($event);
my ($facet_name, $tag_string, $text_for_humans) = @$out;
This will return a single line of output from the event, even if the event would normally return
multiple lines.
In order of priority:
Custom 'render' facet
Control 'halt' facet (bail-out)
Assertion (pass/fail)
Error message

About
@lines = $class->render_verbose($event, %control_params)
@lines = $class->render_verbose(\%facet_data, %control_params)
This will verbosely render any event. The %control_params are passed directly to render_control() and
are not used for anything else.
for my $line ($comp->render_verbose($event)) {
my ($facet_name, $tag_string, $text_for_humans) = @$line;
...,
}
@lines = $class->render_super_verbose($event)
@lines = $class->render_super_verbose(\%facet_data)
This is even more verbose than render_verbose() because it produces output lines even for facets that
should normally not be seen, things that would usually be considered noise.
This is mainly useful for tools that allow deep inspection of log files.
FACETRENDERERS
With exception of render_control() these are all the same. These all take "\%facet_data" as their only
argument, and return a list of line-arrayrefs "[$facet, $tag, $text_for_humans]".
@lines = $class->render_control(\%facet_data, super_verbose => $bool)
This specific one is special in that it can take an extra argument. This argument is used to toggle
between super_verbose and regular verbosity. No other facet renderer needs this toggle. If omitted it
defaults to not being super verbose.
@lines = $class->render_launch(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_start(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_exit(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_end(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_brief(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_plan(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_assert(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_amnesty(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_debug(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_info(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_about(\%facet_data)
@lines = $class->render_errors(\%facet_data)
