NAME

Mojo::Base - Minimal Base Class For Mojo Projects

SYNOPSIS

package Car;
use base 'Mojo::Base';

__PACKAGE__->attr('driver');
__PACKAGE__->attr('doors', default => 2);
__PACKAGE__->attr([qw/passengers seats/],
    chained => 0,
    default => sub { 2 }
);
__PACKAGE__->attr('trailer', weak => 1);

package main;
use Car;

my $bmw = Car->new;
print $bmw->doors;
print $bmw->passengers(5)->doors;

my $mercedes = Car->new(driver => 'Sebastian');
print $mercedes->passengers(7)->passengers;

$mercedes->trailer(Trailer->new);

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Base is a minimalistic base class for Mojo projects. For debugging you can set the MOJO_BASE_DEBUG environment variable.

METHODS

new

my $instance = BaseSubClass->new;
my $instance = BaseSubClass->new(name => 'value');
my $instance = BaseSubClass->new({name => 'value'});

This class provides a standard object constructor. You can pass arguments to it either as a hash or as a hashref, and they will be set in the object's internal hash reference.

attr

__PACKAGE__->attr('name');
__PACKAGE__->attr([qw/name1 name2 name3/]);
__PACKAGE__->attr('name', chained => 0, default => 'foo');
__PACKAGE__->attr(name => (chained => 0, default => 'foo'));
__PACKAGE__->attr('name', {chained => 0, default => 'foo'});
__PACKAGE__->attr([qw/name1 name2 name3/] => {
    chained => 0,
    default => 'foo'}
);

The attr method generates one or more accessors, depending on the number of arguments, which work as both getters and setters. You can modify the accessor behavior by passing arguments to attr either as a hash or a hashref.

Currently there are three options supported.

chained: Whenever you call an attribute with arguments the instance
         is returned instead of the value. (This will be activated by
         default and can be deactivated by setting chained to false)
default: Default value for the attribute, can be a coderef or constant
         value. (Not a normal reference!)
         Note that the default value is "lazy", which means it only
         gets assigned to the instance when the attribute has been
         called.
weak:    Weakens the attribute value, use to avoid memory leaks with
         circular references.
