NAME

Object::FromData - Throw arrayrefs or hashrefs at this to get an object

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

    use Object::FromData;

    my $object = Object::FromData->new(
        {   ref => {
                foo      => 'bar',
                this     => 'that',
                _private => 'no method will be created',
                colors   => [qw/red blue green/],
                numbers  => {
                    un    => 1,
                    deux  => 2,
                    trois => 3,
                },
            },
        }
    );

    say $object->is_hashref;     # 1
    say $object->is_arrayref;    # 0

    say $object->foo;            # bar
    say $object->this;           # that
    say $object->_private;       # BOOM! No such method

    say $object->numbers->is_hashref;     # 0
    say $object->numbers->is_arrayref;    # 1
    say $object->numbers->deux;           # 2

    my $colors = $object->colors;
    while ( $colors->has_more ) {
        say $colors->next;    # red, blue, green on successive lines
    }

new

    my $object = Object::FromData->new({ ref => $ref });

Takes a hashref. The key of ref must be a hashref or arrayref. Returns an object. The object represents a hash or an arrayref as created by Object::FromData::Hash or Object::FromData::Array.

The primary purpose of this module was to be able to take arbitrary JSON from a client and create an object I could safely embed in another object.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-object-fromdata at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Object-FromData. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

We've tried to keep the methods minimal, but because we're inheriting from Object::FromData::Array and Object::FromData::Hash, the latter might have keys which override the main keys. If that happens, call the methods as class methods, passing in the object as an argument:

    my %hash = (
        keys => [qw/foo bar baz/],
    );
    my $object = Object::FromData->new({ ref => \%hash });

    my @keys = $hash->keys; # returns an Object::FromData::Array instance of foo, bar, and baz
    my @keys = Object::FromData::Hash->keys($hash); # returns 'keys'
