Validation::Class::Exporter - Simple Exporter for Validation::Class Classes
version 6.00
package MyApp::Class; use Validation::Class; use Validation::Class::Exporter; Validation::Class::Exporter->apply_spec( routines => ['thing'], # export routines as is settings => [ base => __PACKAGE__ ] # passed to Validation::Class::load() ); has foo => 0; bld sub { shift->foo(1); }; sub thing { my $args = pop; my $class = shift || caller; # routine as a keyword $class->{config}->{THING} = [$args]; }; package MyApp::Example; use MyApp::Class; thing ['this' => 'that']; package main; my $eg = MyApp::Example->new; # lets go!!!
This module (while experimental) encapsulates the exporting of keywords and routines. It applies the Validation::Class framework along with any keyword routines and/or sub-routines specified with the apply_spec() method. It does this by simply by copying the spec into the calling class.
To simplify writing exporter modules, Validation::Class::Exporter also imports strict and warnings into your exporter module, as well as into modules that use it.
Validation::Class::Exporter
strict
warnings
When you call this method, Validation::Class::Exporter builds a custom import method on the calling class. The import method will export the functions you specify, and can also automatically export Validation::Class making the calling class a Validation::Class derived class.
import
Validation::Class
This method accepts the following parameters:
routines => [ ... ]
This list of function names only will be exported into the calling class exactly as is, the functions can be used traditionally or as keywords so their parameter handling should be configured accordingly.
settings => [ ... ]
This list of key/value pair will be passed to the load method imported from Validation::Class::load and will be applied on the calling class.
Validation::Class::load
This approach affords you some trickery in that you can utilize the load method to apply the current class' configuration to the calling class' configuration, etc.
