NAME

Class::Scaffold::Base - large-scale OOP application support

SYNOPSIS

    Class::Scaffold::Base->new;

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

new
    my $obj = Class::Scaffold::Base->new;
    my $obj = Class::Scaffold::Base->new(%args);

Creates and returns a new object. The constructor will accept as arguments a list of pairs, from component name to initial value. For each pair, the named component is initialized by calling the method of the same name with the given value. If called with a single hash reference, it is dereferenced and its key/value pairs are set as described before.

FIRST_CONSTRUCTOR_ARGS

This method is used by the constructor to order key-value pairs that are passed to the newly created object's accessors - see Class::Accessor::Constructor. This class just defines it as an empty list; subclasses should override it as necessary. The method exists in this class so even if subclasses don't override it, there's something for the constructor mechanism to work with.

MUNGE_CONSTRUCTOR_ARGS

This method is used by the constructor to munge the constructor arguments - see Class::Accessor::Constructor. This class' method just returns the arguments as is; subclasses should override it as necessary. The method exists in this class so even if subclasses don't override it, there's something for the constructor mechanism to work with.

add_autoloaded_package

This class method takes a single prefix and adds it to the list - set, really - of packages whose methods should be autoloaded. The Class::Scaffold framework will typically be used by an application whose classes are stored in and underneath a package namespace. To avoid having to load all classes explicitly, you can pass the namespace to this method. This class defines a UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD that respects the set of classes it should autoload methods for.

init

This method is called at the end of the constructor - see Class::Accessor::Constructor. This class' method does nothing; subclasses should override it and wrap it with SUPER:: as necessary. The method exists in this class so even if subclasses don't override it, there's something for the constructor mechanism to work with.

log

This method acts as a shortcut to Class::Scaffold::Log. Instead of writing

    use Class::Scaffold::Log;
    Class::Scaffold::Log->instance->debug('foo');

you can simply write

    $self->log->debug('foo');
