NAME
Module::Generic::Dynamic - Dynamic Object Class
SYNOPSIS
package My::Module;
use parent qw( Module::Generic::Dynamic );
# Then, instantiating an object
my $object = My::Module->new({
name => $some_name,
quantity => 20,
metadata => $some_hash_reference,
tags => [qw( product entrepreneurship capital )],
});
# Then the methods corresponding to the data keys can be accessed
my $product_name = $object->name
# etc
VERSION
v1.2.4
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this class/package is to provide a framework to create dynamically created class/package.
For more granular control over the method to be used for each data key-value, use "_set_get_class" in Module::Generic
METHODS
new
Provided with an hash reference of data, this will create dynamically a class based on the class/pacakge name used to call new
It will then associate helper method sbased on the data type for each key of the hash reference. Precisely:
hash
This would create method after the key name and a new class also based on the key name, and use the helper method "_set_get_object" in Module::Generic
array
If the array contains hash references, this will create a new class/package dynamically and create an object for each hash reference in the array using "_set_get_object_array" in Module::Generic
Otherwise, it will create the method using "_set_get_array" in Module::Generic
string
This would create a method using the helper method "_set_get_scalar" in Module::Generic
boolean
This would create a method using the helper method "_set_get_boolean" in Module::Generic
SERIALISATION
Serialisation by CBOR, Sereal and Storable::Improved (or the legacy Storable) is supported by this package. To that effect, the following subroutines are implemented: FREEZE
, THAW
, STORABLE_freeze
and STORABLE_thaw
