NAME
MooseX::Clone - Fine-grained cloning support for Moose objects.
VERSION
version 0.06
SYNOPSIS
package Bar; use Moose; with qw(MooseX::Clone); has foo => ( isa => "Foo", traits => [qw(Clone)], # this attribute will be recursively cloned ); package Foo; use Moose; # this API is used/provided by MooseX::Clone sub clone { my ( $self, %params ) = @_; # ... } # used like this: my $bar = Bar->new( foo => Foo->new ); my $copy = $bar->clone( foo => [ qw(Args for Foo::clone) ] );
DESCRIPTION
Out of the box Moose only provides very barebones cloning support in order to maximize flexibility.
This role provides a
clone
method that makes use of the low level cloning support already in Moose and adds selective deep cloning based on introspection on top of that. Attributes with theClone
trait will handle cloning of data within the object, typically delegating to the attribute value's ownclone
method.TRAITS
- Clone
-
By default Moose objects are cloned like this:
bless { %$old }, ref $old;
By specifying the Clone trait for certain attributes custom behavior the value's own
clone
method will be invoked.By extending this trait you can create custom cloning for certain attributes.
By creating
clone
methods for your objects (e.g. by composing MooseX::Compile) you can make them interact with this trait. - NoClone
-
Specifies attributes that should be skipped entirely while cloning.
METHODS
- clone %params
-
Returns a clone of the object.
All attributes which do the MooseX::Clone::Meta::Attribute::Trait::Clone role will handle cloning of that attribute. All other fields are plainly copied over, just like in "clone_object" in Class::MOP::Class.
Attributes whose
init_arg
is in %params and who do theClone
trait will get that argument passed to theclone
method (dereferenced). If the attribute does not self-clone then the param is used normally by "clone_object" in Class::MOP::Class, that is it will simply shadow the previous value, and does not have to be an array or hash reference.
TODO
Refactor to work in term of a metaclass trait so that
meta->clone_object
will still do the right thing.THANKS
