Parameters are not displayed in the structure view when I set a default assignment for a parameter

[leobm]

Hi, when I read in the function parameters via shift and I set a default value via the || notation, the parameters are no longer displayed in the structure view. Is it possible to fix this?

sub exampleGetProductImageByID {

    my $param_sCompanyID = shift;
    my $param_sProductID = shift;
....

sub exampleGetProductImageByID {

    my $param_sCompanyID = shift || "oode";
    my $param_sProductID = shift || "335418GN";
....

regards,

Yep, stumbled on this. Feels like not very easy, but yes, doable

It happens also with the defined-or operator (‘//’)

yep

defined-or operator

oh, I didn't know the operator at all. It is often more useful than the || operator.

Hi,

I would have another idea. How about if there would be an annotation (maybe @parameter) with which I could define a variable as a parameter? because in practice it will probably be really difficult to cover all cases. See for example my example.

#@parameter
my $param_refHashOrArray = shift;

#@parameter
my $param_arefKeyPath = IsArray($_[0]) ? $_[0] : [ @_ ]; ## optional

Edit: it would be very cool if you could add an option to the annotation. e.g. #@parameter(optional=1) or so? Maybe there could also be more options (e.g. type=...)

@leobm how do you see this case in a form of signature?

somemethod($param_refHashOrArray, ???);
