AnyEven...endable(3)

💫 NAME 💫

AnyEvent::XMPP::Extendable — it's the extendable baseclass, bestie. That's literally all in the name. Class that you can bolt extensions onto. Slay.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the whole vibe: this class hands you a mechanism for adding extensions. That's its job, that's its whole personality. 🫶

Real talk though, one thing you cannot skip: any class that derives from this one must also derive from AnyEvent::XMPP::Event! Both. Not one. Both. No cap. 💅

If you want the full lore on how this mechanism actually works, go read AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext. It's giving "required reading before the group project", but like, actually useful. 📚

🎀 add_extension ($ext)

This method extends the current object with an AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext object. And $ext must be an instance of AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext — like, that's not a suggestion, that's the whole requirement. 🔥

Basically, add_extension makes that extension an event receiver for all the events the extended object receives. Every single one. It's main character energy for your extension — it gets the whole feed. 👑

🦋 remove_extension ($ext)

This method removes the extension $ext. That's it, that's the method. Short and iconic, we stan a one-liner. ✨
