Moose::Manual::Construction(3)       User Contributed Perl Documentation      Moose::Manual::Construction(3)



NAME
       Moose::Manual::Construction - Object construction (and destruction) with Moose

VERSION
       version 2.0205

WHERE'S THE CONSTRUCTOR?
       Do not define a "new()" method for your classes!

       When you "use Moose" in your class, your class becomes a subclass of Moose::Object. The Moose::Object
       provides a "new()" method for your class. If you follow our recommendations in
       Moose::Manual::BestPractices and make your class immutable, then you actually get a class-specific
       "new()" method "inlined" in your class.

OBJECT CONSTRUCTION AND ATTRIBUTES
       The Moose-provided constructor accepts a hash or hash reference of named parameters matching your
       attributes (actually, matching their "init_arg"s). This is just another way in which Moose keeps you
       from worrying how classes are implemented. Simply define a class and you're ready to start creating
       objects!

OBJECT CONSTRUCTION HOOKS
       Moose lets you hook into object construction. You can validate an object's state, do logging,
       customize construction from parameters which do not match your attributes, or maybe allow
       non-hash(ref) constructor arguments. You can do this by creating "BUILD" and/or "BUILDARGS" methods.

       If these methods exist in your class, Moose will arrange for them to be called as part of the object
       construction process.

   BUILDARGS
       The "BUILDARGS" method is called as a class method before an object is created. It will receive all
       of the arguments that were passed to "new()" as-is, and is expected to return a hash reference. This
       hash reference will be used to construct the object, so it should contain keys matching your
       attributes' names (well, "init_arg"s).

       One common use for "BUILDARGS" is to accommodate a non-hash(ref) calling style. For example, we might
       want to allow our Person class to be called with a single argument of a social security number,
       "Person->new($ssn)".

       Without a "BUILDARGS" method, Moose will complain, because it expects a hash or hash reference. We
       can use the "BUILDARGS" method to accommodate this calling style:

         around BUILDARGS => sub {
             my $orig  = shift;
             my $class = shift;

             if ( @_ == 1 && !ref $_[0] ) {
                 return $class->$orig( ssn => $_[0] );
             }
             else {
                 return $class->$orig(@_);
             }
         };

       Note the call to "$class->$orig". This will call the default "BUILDARGS" in Moose::Object. This
       method takes care of distinguishing between a hash reference and a plain hash for you.

   BUILD
       The "BUILD" method is called after an object is created. There are several reasons to use a "BUILD"
       method. One of the most common is to check that the object state is valid. While we can validate
       individual attributes through the use of types, we can't validate the state of a whole object that
       way.

         sub BUILD {
             my $self = shift;

             if ( $self->country_of_residence eq 'USA' ) {
                 die 'All US residents must have an SSN'
                     unless $self->has_ssn;
             }
         }

       Another use of a "BUILD" method could be for logging or tracking object creation.

         sub BUILD {
             my $self = shift;

             debug( 'Made a new person - SSN = ', $self->ssn, );
         }

       The "BUILD" method is called with the hash reference of the parameters passed to the constructor
       (after munging by "BUILDARGS"). This gives you a chance to do something with parameters that do not
       represent object attributes.

         sub BUILD {
             my $self = shift;
             my $args = shift;

             $self->add_friend(
                 My::User->new(
                     user_id => $args->{user_id},
                 )
             );
         }

       BUILD and parent classes

       The interaction between multiple "BUILD" methods in an inheritance hierarchy is different from normal
       Perl methods. You should never call "$self->SUPER::BUILD", nor should you ever apply a method
       modifier to "BUILD".

       Moose arranges to have all of the "BUILD" methods in a hierarchy called when an object is
       constructed, from parents to children. This might be surprising at first, because it reverses the
       normal order of method inheritance.

       The theory behind this is that "BUILD" methods can only be used for increasing specialization of a
       class's constraints, so it makes sense to call the least specific "BUILD" method first. Also, this is
       how Perl 6 does it.

OBJECT DESTRUCTION
       Moose provides a hook for object destruction with the "DEMOLISH" method. As with "BUILD", you should
       never explicitly call "$self->SUPER::DEMOLISH". Moose will arrange for all of the "DEMOLISH" methods
       in your hierarchy to be called, from most to least specific.

       Each "DEMOLISH" method is called with a single argument.

       In most cases, Perl's built-in garbage collection is sufficient, and you won't need to provide a
       "DEMOLISH" method.

   Error Handling During Destruction
       The interaction of object destruction and Perl's global $@ and $?  variables can be very confusing.

       Moose always localizes $? when an object is being destroyed. This means that if you explicitly call
       "exit", that exit code will be preserved even if an object's destructor makes a system call.

       Moose also preserves $@ against any "eval" calls that may happen during object destruction. However,
       if an object's "DEMOLISH" method actually dies, Moose explicitly rethrows that error.

       If you do not like this behavior, you will have to provide your own "DESTROY" method and use that
       instead of the one provided by Moose::Object. You can do this to preserve $@ and capture any errors
       from object destruction by creating an error stack.
