NAME

6       Dancer::Object - Objects base class for Dancer
7

VERSION

9       version 1.3513
10

SYNOPSIS

12           package My::Dancer::Extension;
13
14           use strict;
15           use warnings;
16           use base 'Dancer::Object';
17
18           __PACKAGE__->attributes( qw/name value this that/ );
19
20           sub init {
21               # our initialization code, if we need one
22           }
23

DESCRIPTION

25       While we love Moose, we can't use it for Dancer and still keep Dancer
26       minimal, so we wrote Dancer::Object instead.
27
28       It provides you with attributes and an initializer.
29

METHODS

31   new
32       Creates a new object of whatever is based off Dancer::Object. This is a
33       generic "new" method so you don't have to write one yourself when
34       extending "Dancer::Object".
35
36       It accepts arguments in a hash and runs an additional "init" method
37       (described below) which you should implement.
38
39   init
40       Exists but does nothing. This is so you won't have to write an
41       initializer if you don't want to.
42
43   clone
44       Creates and returns a clone of the object using Clone, which is loaded
45       dynamically. If we cannot load Clone, we throw an exception.
46
47   get_attributes
48       Get the attributes of the specific class.
49
50   attributes
51       Generates attributes for whatever object is extending Dancer::Object
52       and saves them in an internal hashref so they can be later fetched
53       using "get_attributes".
54
55       For each defined attribute you can access its value using:
56
57         $self->your_attribute_name;
58
59       To set a value use
60
61         $self->your_attribute_name($value);
62
63       Nevertheless, you can continue to use these attributes as hash keys, as
64       usual with blessed hash references:
65
66         $self->{your_attribute_name} = $value;
67
68       Although this is possible we defend you should use the method approach,
69       as it maintains compatibility in case "Dancer::Object" structure
70       changes in the future.
71
72   attributes_defaults
73         $self->attributes_defaults(length => 2);
74
75       given a hash (not a hashref), makes sure an object has the given
76       attributes default values. Usually called from within an "init"
77       function.
