Bubblegum::Object::Universal - Common Methods for Operating on Defined Values
version 0.11
use Bubblegum; my $thing = 0; $thing->instance; # bless({'data' => 0}, 'Bubblegum::Object::Instance')
Universal methods work on variables whose data meets the criteria for being defined. It is not necessary to use this module as it is loaded automatically by the Bubblegum class.
my $thing = 0; $thing->instance; # bless({'data' => 0}, 'Bubblegum::Object::Instance') my $data = $thing->instance->data; # 0
The instance method blesses the subject into a generic container class, Bubblegum::Object::Instance, and returns an instance. Please see Bubblegum::Object::Instance for more information.
my $thing = [1,0]; $thing->wrapper('json'); # same as ... $thing->json; # bless({'data' => [1,0]}, 'Bubblegum::Wrapper::Json') my $json = $thing->json->encode; # [1,0]
The wrapper method blesses the subject into a Bubblegum wrapper, a container class, which exists as an extension to the core data type methods, and returns an instance. Please see any one of the core Bubblegum wrappers, e.g., Bubblegum::Wrapper::Digest, Bubblegum::Wrapper::Dumper, Bubblegum::Wrapper::Encoder, Bubblegum::Wrapper::Json or Bubblegum::Wrapper::Yaml.
