=head1 NAME

RT::CustomFieldValues::Canonicalizer - base class for custom field value
canonicalizers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is the base class for custom field value canonicalizers. To
implement a new canonicalizer, you must create a new class that subclasses
this class. Your subclass must implement the method L</CanonicalizeValue> as
documented below. You should also implement the method L</Description> which
is the label shown to users. Finally, add the new class name to
L<RT_Config/@CustomFieldValuesCanonicalizers>.

See L<RT::CustomFieldValues::Canonicalizer::Uppercase> for a complete
example.

=head2 new

The object constructor takes one argument: L<RT::CurrentUser> object.

=cut

sub new {
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
    my $self  = {};
    bless ($self, $class);
    $self->CurrentUser(@_);
    return $self;
}

=head2 CanonicalizeValue

Receives a parameter hash including C<CustomField> (an L<RT::CustomField>
object) and C<Content> (a string of user-provided content).

You may also access C<< $self->CurrentUser >> in case you need the user's
language or locale.

This method is expected to return the canonicalized C<Content>.

=cut

sub CanonicalizeValue {
    my $self = shift;
    die "Subclass " . ref($self) . " of " . __PACKAGE__ . " does not implement required method CanonicalizeValue";
}

=head2 Description

A class method that returns the human-friendly name for this canonicalizer
which appears in the admin UI. By default it is the class name, which is
not so human friendly. You should override this in your subclass.

=cut

sub Description {
    my $class = shift;
    return $class;
}
