Name

Mo::builder - Adds the builder feature to Mo's has

Synopsis

            

              
              
use Mo qw'builder';
has name => ( builder => 'name_lookup' );
sub name_lookup {
    my ($self) = @_;
    ...
}
            
          

Description

Adds the builder parameter to has, which expects a method name, which is executed on $self to set the attribute if it hasn't been set yet.

Laziness

Builders in Mo are lazy by default. This can be changed by explicitly setting the lazy argument to false, in order to cause it to be initialized during instantiation.

            

              
              
use Mo qw'builder';
has status => ( builder => '_build_status' );             # lazy
has source => ( builder => '_build_source', lazy => 1);   # lazy
has target => ( builder => '_build_target', lazy => 0);   # eager
            
          

To change the default behavior and make builders to be initialized eagerly by default, import nonlazy.

            

              
              
use Mo qw'builder nonlazy';
has status => ( builder => '_build_status' );             # eager
has source => ( builder => '_build_source', lazy => 1);   # lazy
has target => ( builder => '_build_target', lazy => 0);   # eager
