NAME

MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct - A Data::Visitor for creating Moose objects from blessed placeholders

VERSION

version 1.00

SYNOPSIS

    use MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct;


    my $obj = bless( {
            init_arg_foo => "Blah",
            arf => "yay",
    }, "Foo" );

    my $proper = MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct->new->visit($obj);



    # equivalent to:

    my $proper = Foo->meta->new_object(%$obj);

    # but recursive (and works with shared references)

DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this module is to "fix up" blessed data into a real Moose object.

This is used internally by MooseX::YAML but has no implementation details having to do with YAML itself.

METHODS

See Data::Visitor

• visit_object $object

  Calls "load_class" in Class::MOP on the ref of $object.

  If there's a metaclass, calls visit_object_with_meta, otherwise visit_ref is used to walk the object brutishly.

  Returns a deep clone of the input structure with all the Moose objects reconstructed "properly".

• visit_object_with_meta $obj, $meta

  Uses the metaclass $meta to create a new instance, registers the instance with Data::Visitor's cycle tracking, and then inflates it using "new_object" in Moose::Meta::Class.

• prepare_args $obj

  Collapses $obj into key value pairs to be used as init args to "new_object" in Moose::Meta::Class.
