Venus::Core

The import method invokes the IMPORT lifecycle hook and is invoked whenever the "use" in perlfunc declaration is used.

{ since => '2.91', }

=example-1 import

package main;

use User;

# ()

The clone method returns a cloned object.

clone() (object)

{ since => '4.15', }

The does method returns true if the object is composed of the role provided.

does(string $name) (boolean)

{ since => '1.00', }

=example-1 does

# given: synopsis

my $does = $user->does('Identity');

# 0

The meta method returns a Venus::Meta objects which describes the package's configuration.

meta() (Venus::Meta)

{ since => '1.00', }

package main;

my $user = User->new(
  fname => 'Elliot',
  lname => 'Alderson',
);

my $meta = $user->meta;

# bless({...}, 'Venus::Meta')

The new method instantiates the class and returns a new object.

new(any %args | hashref $args) (object)

{ since => '1.00', }

=example-1 new

package main;

my $user = User->new(
  fname => 'Elliot',
  lname => 'Alderson',
);

# bless({fname => 'Elliot', lname => 'Alderson'}, 'User')
