NAME

MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct - A Data::Visitor for creating Moose objects from blessed placeholders

VERSION

version 1.01

SYNOPSIS

use MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct;


my $obj = bless( {
	init_arg_foo => "Blah",
	arf => "yay",
}, "Foo" );

my $proper = MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct->new->visit($obj);


# equivalent to:

my $proper = Foo->meta->new_object(%$obj);

# but recursive (and works with shared references)

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this module is to "fix up" blessed data into a real Moose object.

METHODS

See Data::Visitor

new

Constructor.

arguments

load_classes

If true (which is the default), we will try to require its class when the target object is visited.

load_classes

Read/write accessor to the load_classes attribute. If true, we try to require its class when a target object is visited.

visit_object $object

Calls "load_class" in Class::MOP on the ref of $object.

If there's a metaclass, calls visit_object_with_meta, otherwise visit_ref is used to walk the object brutishly.

Returns a deep clone of the input structure with all the Moose objects reconstructed "properly".

visit_object_with_meta $obj, $meta

Uses the metaclass $meta to create a new instance, registers the instance with Data::Visitor's cycle tracking, and then inflates it using "new_object" in Moose::Meta::Class.

prepare_args $obj

Collapses $obj into key value pairs to be used as init args to "new_object" in Moose::Meta::Class.
