NAME

Module::API::Base - providing common methods to the Module::API modules.

METHODS

new

    my $object = $class->new( foo => 'bar' );

Creates a new object with the values passed set to the config. Extra fields can be permitted using _extra_config_fields. See below.

config

    $config_hashref  = $api_object->config;
    $field_value     = $api_object->config('field');
    $new_field_value = $api_object->config( 'field', $value );

A somewhat magical method - returns the config hashref if called without any arguments, returns the value of the field if called with a field name or if called with two args sets the value and then returns new value.

_base_object

    $self = $class->_base_object;

Returns a hashref that all other Module::API::* objects can be built on top of.
