NAME
Reflex::Callback::Method - Callback adapter for class and object methods
VERSION
This document describes version 0.090, released on July 30, 2011.
SYNOPSIS
Used within Reflex:
package MethodHandler;
use Moose;
extends 'Reflex::Base';
use Reflex::Callbacks qw(cb_method);
use ExampleHelpers qw(eg_say);
has ticker => (
isa => 'Maybe[Reflex::Interval]',
is => 'rw',
);
sub BUILD {
my $self = shift;
$self->ticker(
Reflex::Interval->new(
interval => 1 + rand(),
auto_repeat => 1,
on_tick => cb_method($self, "callback"),
)
);
}
sub callback {
eg_say("method callback triggered");
}
MethodHandler->new()->run_all();Low-level usage:
{
package Object;
use Moose;
sub callback {
my ($self, $arg) = @_;
print "$self says: hello, $arg->{name}\n";
}
}
my $object = Object->new();
my $cb = Reflex::Callback::Method->new(
object => $object,
method_name => "callback"
);
$cb->deliver(greet => { name => "world" });DESCRIPTION
Reflex::Callback::Method maps the generic Reflex::Callback interface to object and class method callbacks. Reflex::Callbacks' cb_method() function simplifies callback creation. cb_object(), also supplied by Reflex::Callbacks, is shorthand for setting several callbacks at once on a single object or class. Other syntactic sweeteners are in development.
new
Reflex::Callback::Method's constructor takes two named parameters. "object" and "method_name" define the object and method that will be invoked to handle the callback.
Despite its name, "object" may also handle class names. In these cases, "method_name" will be invoked as a class method rather than on a particular instance of the class.
deliver
Reflex::Callback::Method's deliver() method invokes the object (or class) and method as defined during the callback's construction. deliver() takes two positional parameters: an event name (which is not currently used for method callbacks), and a hashref of named parameters to be passed to the callback.
deliver() returns whatever the coderef does.
