MooseX::Storage::Basic - The simplest level of serialization
package Point; use Moose; use MooseX::Storage; with Storage; has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int'); has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int'); 1; my $p = Point->new(x => 10, y => 10); ## methods to pack/unpack an ## object in perl data structures # pack the class into a hash $p->pack(); # { __CLASS__ => 'Point-0.01', x => 10, y => 10 } # unpack the hash into a class my $p2 = Point->unpack({ __CLASS__ => 'Point-0.01', x => 10, y => 10 }); # unpack the hash, with insertion of paramaters my $p3 = Point->unpack( $p->pack, inject => { x => 11 } );
This is the most basic form of serialization. This is used by default but the exported Storage function.
Storage
Providing the disable_cycle_check argument disables checks for any cyclical references. The current implementation for this check is rather naive, so if you know what you are doing, you can bypass this check.
disable_cycle_check
This trait is applied on a perl-case basis. To set this flag for all objects that inherit from this role, see MooseX::Storage::Traits::DisableCycleDetection.
Providing the insert argument let's you supply additional arguments to the class' new function, or override ones from the serialized data.
insert
new
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.
