NAME

Module::Generic::Dynamic - Dynamic Object Class

SYNOPSIS

    package My::Module;
    use parent qw( Module::Generic::Dynamic );

    # Then, instantiating an object
    my $object = My::Module->new({
        name => $some_name,
        quantity => 20,
        metadata => $some_hash_reference,
        tags => [qw( product entrepreneurship capital )],
    });

    # Then the methods corresponding to the data keys can be accessed
    my $product_name = $object->name
    # etc

VERSION

    v1.2.4

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this class/package is to provide a framework to create dynamically created class/package.

For more ganular control over the method to be used for each data key-value, use "_set_get_class" in Module::Generic

METHODS

new

Provided with an hash reference of data, this will create dynamically a class based on the class/pacakge name used to call new

It will then associate helper method sbased on the data type for each key of the hash reference. Precisely:

hash

This would create method after the key name and a new class also based on the key name, and use the helper method "_set_get_object" in Module::Generic

array

If the array contains hash references, this will create a new class/package dynamically and create an object for each hash reference in the array using "_set_get_object_array" in Module::Generic

Otherwise, it will create the method using "_set_get_array" in Module::Generic

string

This would create a method using the helper method "_set_get_scalar" in Module::Generic

boolean

This would create a method using the helper method "_set_get_boolean" in Module::Generic

SERIALISATION

Serialisation by CBOR, Sereal and Storable::Improved (or the legacy Storable) is supported by this package. To that effect, the following subroutines are implemented: FREEZE, THAW, STORABLE_freeze and STORABLE_thaw
