NAME
Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup - A group of Mail::Message::Field::Address objects
INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup
is a User::Identity::Collection::Emails
is a User::Identity::Collection
is a User::Identity::Item
SYNOPSIS
my $g = Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup->new(name => 'name');
my $a = Mail::Message::Field::Address->new(...);
$g->addAddress($a);
my $f = Mail::Message::Field::Addresses->new;
$f->addGroup($g);
DESCRIPTION
An address group collects a set of e-mail addresses (in this case they are
Mail::Message::Field::Address objects).
Extends "DESCRIPTION" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
OVERLOADED
Extends "OVERLOADED" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
overload: @{}
Inherited, see "OVERLOADED" in User::Identity::Collection
overload: stringification
Returns the string() value.

METHODS
Extends "METHODS" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
$obj->string()
Returns the address group as string. When no name is specified, it will only be a
comma separated list of addresses. With a name, the groups name will be prepended and
a semi-colon appended. When no addresses where included and there is no name, then
"undef" is returned.
Constructors
Extends "Constructors" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
$obj->coerce($object)
Coerce an $object into a Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup. Currently, you can only
coerce User::Identity::Collection::Emails (which is the base class for this one) into
this one.

Collections
Extends "Collections" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
$obj->add($collection, $role)
Inherited, see "Collections" in User::Identity::Item

Maintaining roles
Extends "Maintaining roles" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
$obj->addRole($role| <[$name],%options> | ARRAY)
Inherited, see "Maintaining roles" in User::Identity::Collection
$obj->removeRole($role|$name)
Inherited, see "Maintaining roles" in User::Identity::Collection

Searching
Extends "Searching" in User::Identity::Collection::Emails.
$obj->find($name|CODE|undef)
Inherited, see "Searching" in User::Identity::Collection
Addresses
$obj->addAddress(STRING|$address|%options)
Add one e-mail address to the list which is maintained in the group. This is a wrapper
around addRole() adding flexibility on how addresses are specified. An $address can
be anything which is acceptable for Mail::Message::Field::Address::coerce() or a list
of options which will create such an object.
example: of adding an address to an address group
my @data = (full_name => "Myself", address => 'me AT tux.org');
$group->addAddress(@data);
my $addr = Mail::Message::Field::Address->new(@data);
$group->addAddress(@data);
my $ma = Mail::Address->new(...);
$group->addAddress($ma);
$obj->addresses()
Returns all addresses defined in this group. The addresses will be ordered
alphabetically to make automated testing possible: roles are stored in a hash, so have
an unpredictable order by default.
example: getting all addresses from a group
my @addrs = $group->addresses;
my @addrs = map { $_->address } $self->roles; #same
Error handling
DIAGNOSTICS
Error: $object is not a collection.
The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends
User::Identity::Collection.
Error: Cannot coerce a $type into a Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup
Error: Cannot create a $type to add this to my collection.
Some options are specified to create a $type object, which is native to this
collection. However, for some reason this failed.
Error: Cannot load collection module for $type ($class).
Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named $class returns
compilation errors. If the type as specified in the warning is not the name of a
package, you specified a nickname which was not defined. Maybe you forgot the
'require' the package which defines the nickname.
Error: Cannot rename $name into $newname: already exists
Error: Cannot rename $name into $newname: doesn't exist
Error: Creation of a collection via $class failed.
The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object of that class
using the options you specified.
Error: Don't know what type of collection you want to add.
If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a list of options
which can be used to create a collection object. In the latter case, the type of
collection must be specified.
Warning: No collection $name
The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
Error: Wrong type of role for $collection: requires a $expect but got a $type
Each $collection groups sets of roles of one specific type ($expect). You cannot add
objects of a different $type.
