=head1 NAME

Tree::Simple::Visitor::FindByPath - A Visitor for finding an element in a Tree::Simple hierarchy with a path

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Tree::Simple::Visitor::FindByPath;

  # create a visitor object
  my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::FindByPath->new();

  # set the search path for our tree
  $visitor->setSearchPath(qw(1 1.2 1.2.2));

  # pass the visitor to a tree
  $tree->accept($visitor);

  # fetch the result, which will
  # be the Tree::Simple object that
  # we have found, or undefined
  my $result = $visitor->getResult() || die "No Tree found";

  # our result's node value should match
  # the last element in our path
  print $result->getNodeValue(); # this should print 1.2.2

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Given a path and Tree::Simple hierarchy, this Visitor will attempt to find the node specified by the path.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<new>

There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the C<setSearchPath> and C<setNodeFilter> methods to customize its behavior.

=item B<includeTrunk ($boolean)>

Based upon the value of C<$boolean>, this will tell the visitor to include the trunk of the tree in the search as well.

=item B<setSearchPath (@path)>

This is the path we will attempt to follow down the tree. We will do a stringified comparison of each element of the path and the current tree's node (or the value returned by the node filter if it is set).

=item B<setNodeFilter ($filter_function)>

This method accepts a CODE reference as its C<$filter_function> argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are collected. This can be used to customize output, or to gather specific information from a more complex tree node. The filter function should accept a single argument, which is the current Tree::Simple object.

=item B<visit ($tree)>

This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's C<accept> method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the C<$tree> argument to be a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.

=item B<getResult>

This method will return the tree found at the specified path (set by the C<setSearchPath> method) or C<undef> if no tree is found.

=item B<getResults>

This method will return the tree's that make up the path specified in C<setSearchPath>. In the case of a failed search, this can be used to find the elements which did successfully match along the way.
