MakeMe...e::Ref(3pm)

🦋 NAME 🦋

Class::MakeMethods::Template::Ref — Universal copy and compare methods.

Okay bestie, this page is MakeMe...e::Ref(3pm) from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it is literally here to give you copy and compare methods. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

No cap, the whole setup is right here:

         package MyObject;
         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Ref (
           'Hash:new'      => [ 'new' ],
           clone           => [ 'clone' ]
         );

         package main;

         my $obj = MyObject->new( foo => ["Foozle", "Bozzle"] );
         my $clone = $obj->clone();
         print $obj->{'foo'}[1];

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The following types of methods are provided via the Class::MakeMethods interface:

🫶 clone

Produces a deep copy of an instance of almost any underlying datatype. It’s giving “same energy, new object” ✨

Parameters:

• init_method — if defined, this method is called on the new object with any arguments passed in. 🎀

🌸 prototype

Creates new instances by making a deep copy of a static prototypical instance. Prototype says “here’s the blueprint,” and you get a fresh copy. 💅

Parameters:

• init_method — if defined, this method is called on the new object with any arguments passed in. 🫶

🔥 compare

Compare one object to another. Main character energy: “who even are you?” 😭

🎀 Templates

• default — Three-way (sorting-style) comparison.
• equals — Are these two objects equivalent?
• identity — Are these two references to the exact same object?

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• See Class::MakeMethods for general information about this distribution. 👑
• See Class::MakeMethods::Template for more about this family of subclasses. 🧚
• See Class::MakeMethods::Utility::Ref for the clone and compare functions used above. 💖
