Dancer::Object(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dancer::Object(3)NAMEDancer::Object - Objects base class for Dancer
SYNOPSIS
package My::Dancer::Extension;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'Dancer::Object';
__PACKAGE__->attributes( qw/name value this that/ );
sub init {
# our initialization code, if we need one
}
DESCRIPTION
While we love Moose, we can't use it for Dancer and still keep Dancer
minimal, so we wrote Dancer::Object instead.
It provides you with attributes and an initializer.
METHODS
new
Creates a new object of whatever is based off Dancer::Object. This is a
generic "new" method so you don't have to write one yourself when
extending "Dancer::Object".
It accepts arguments in a hash and runs an additional "init" method
(described below) which you should implement.
init
Exists but does nothing. This is so you won't have to write an
initializer if you don't want to.
clone
Creates and returns a clone of the object using Clone, which is loaded
dynamically. If we cannot load Clone, we throw an exception.
get_attributes
Get the attributes of the specific class.
attributes
Generates attributes for whatever object is extending Dancer::Object
and saves them in an internal hashref so they can be later fetched
using "get_attributes".
attributes_defaults
$self->attributes_defaults(length => 2);
given a hash (not a hashref), makes sure an object has the given
attributes default values. Usually called from within an "init"
function.
