NAME

Class::GenSource - Generate Perl source code to declare a class

VERSION

This document describes version 0.06 of Class::GenSource (from Perl distribution Class-GenSource), released on 2015-06-12.

SYNOPSIS

 use Class::GenSource qw(gen_class_source_code);

 say gen_class_source_code(
     name => 'My::Class',
     attributes => {
         foo => {},
         bar => {default=>3},
         baz => {},
     },
 );

Will print something like:

 package My::Class;

 sub new {
     my $class = shift;
     my $self = bless {@_}, $class;
     $self->{bar} = 3 unless exists $self->{bar};
     $self;
 }
 sub foo { my $self = shift; $self->{foo} = $_[0] if @_; $self->{foo} }
 sub bar { my $self = shift; $self->{bar} = $_[0] if @_; $self->{bar}  }
 sub baz { my $self = shift; $self->{baz} = $_[0] if @_; $self->{baz}  }

Another example (generating Moo-based class):

 say gen_class_source_code(
     name => 'My::Class',
     attributes => {
         foo => {},
         bar => {default=>3},
         baz => {},
     },
     variant => 'Moo',
 );

will print something like:

 package My::Class;
 use Moo;
 has foo => (is=>'rw');
 has bar => (is=>'rw', default=>3);
 has baz => (is=>'rw');
