NAME¶
MooseX::Storage::Traits::OnlyWhenBuilt - A custom trait to bypass serialization
SYNOPSIS¶
{ package Point;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Storage;
with Storage( traits => [qw|OnlyWhenBuilt|] );
has 'x' => (is => 'rw', lazy_build => 1 );
has 'y' => (is => 'rw', lazy_build => 1 );
has 'z' => (is => 'rw', builder => '_build_z' );
sub _build_x { 3 }
sub _build_y { expensive_computation() }
sub _build_z { 3 }
}
my $p = Point->new( 'x' => 4 );
# the result of ->pack will contain:
# { x => 4, z => 3 }
$p->pack;
DESCRIPTION¶
Sometimes you don't want a particular attribute to be part of the serialization
if it has not been built yet. If you invoke "Storage()" as outlined
in the "Synopsis", only attributes that have been built (ie, where
the predicate returns 'true') will be serialized. This avoids any potentially
expensive computations.
See the SYNOPSIS for a nice example that can be easily cargo-culted.
