💖 Bread:...eferred(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Bread:...eferred(3pm) — yes the title is literally truncated like that, the man page system said "we're keeping it mysterious ✨". Come sit with me, this one is a lil chaotic and I love that for it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Bread::Board::Service::Deferred — a lil helper for holding onto a service that is not quite constructed yet. it's giving "be patient with me, I'm a work in progress" 💅

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.37

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, this is the class for proxy objects — the ones that get used when you're resolving circular dependencies. yes, that thing. the snake eating its own tail. the "I need you to build me but I need to be built first" situation. 🐍

and bestie, I need you to know that this class uses a few nasty tricks. like, for real:

  • replacing $_[0]
  • using "AUTOLOAD"
  • overriding "isa", "meta" and "can"
  • heavy operator overloading
lowkey you should probably not take inspiration from this code unless you really know what you're doing. I'm not joking, this is not a tutorial, this is a warning label. 💀

in practice though? it's fine, it's chill, it's actually kinda iconic. a variable containing an instance of "Bread::Board::Service::Deferred" will have its value changed to the actual value instantiated by the service at the first opportunity — and you should never even notice that this class was ever there. main character energy that vanishes the second the real one shows up. 🧚✨
