Biber::DataModel

NAME

Biber::DataModel

new
Initialize a Biber::DataModel object
We are passing in an array of datamodels as there may be more than one in tool
mode − the one from biber−tool.conf and modifications in a user .conf
Later takes precedence.

get_outcase
Returns the original datamodel field/entrytype case for output

constants
Returns array ref of constant names

get_constant_type
Returns a constant type

get_constant_value
Returns a constant value

is_multiscript
Returns boolean to say if a field is a multiscript field

fieldtypes
Returns array ref of legal fieldtypes

datatypes
Returns array ref of legal datatypes

is_field
Returns boolean to say if a field is a legal field.
Allows for fields with meta markers whose marked field should be in
the datamodel.

entrytypes
Returns array ref of legal entrytypes

is_entrytype
Returns boolean to say if an entrytype is a legal entrytype

is_field_for_entrytype
Returns boolean to say if a field is legal for an entrytype

entrytype_is_skipout
Returns boolean depending on whether an entrytype is to be skipped on output

get_fields_of_fieldtype
Retrieve fields of a certain biblatex fieldtype from data model
Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
.bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fields_of_fieldformat
Retrieve fields of a certain format from data model
Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
.bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fields_of_datatype
Retrieve fields of a certain biblatex datatype from data model
Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
.bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fields_of_type
Retrieve fields of a certain biblatex type from data model
Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
.bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

is_fields_of_type
Returns boolean to say if the given fieldtype/datatype/format is a valid combination

get_fieldtype
Returns the fieldtype of a field

get_datatype
Returns the datatype of a field

get_fieldformat
Returns the format of a field

get_dm_for_field
Returns the fieldtype, datatype and format of a field

field_is_fieldtype
Returns boolean depending on whether a field is a certain biblatex fieldtype

field_is_datatype
Returns boolean depending on whether a field is a certain biblatex datatype

field_is_type
Returns boolean depending on whether a field is a certain biblatex fieldtype
and datatype

field_is_nullok
Returns boolean depending on whether a field is ok to be null

field_is_skipout
Returns boolean depending on whether a field is to be skipped on output

check_mandatory_constraints
Checks constraints of type "mandatory" on entry and
returns an arry of warnings, if any

check_conditional_constraints
Checks constraints of type "conditional" on entry and
returns an arry of warnings, if any

check_data_constraints
Checks constraints of type "data" on entry and
returns an array of warnings, if any

dump
Dump Biber::DataModel object

generate_bltxml_schema
Generate a RelaxNG XML schema from the datamodel for BibLaTeXML datasources

generate_bblxml_schema
Generate a RelaxNG XML schema from the datamodel for bblXML output
