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.
