GO::Model::Root(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

GO::Model::Root — the base class for all GO::Model objects 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the base class for literally every GO::Model object. it's the mother, the blueprint, the main character that all the other little classes inherit their whole vibe from 💅

---

🎀 Constructors 🎀

💖 new 💖

constructor!! it's basically just calling _initialize(), no cap. most subclasses should not override new — nah, leave new alone and go override _initialize() instead, that's the move ✨

if _initialize() fails, the procedure will die 💀

⚠️ WARNING: this procedure will die if initialization is unsuccessful. wrap it in an eval statement to catch those exceptions, periodt. no catching = crash city 🙈

---

🦋 obj_factory 🦋

Usage   - $obj->obj_factory->create_new_term_object($h);
Alias   - apph
Returns - L<GO::ObjFactory>
Args    - none

---

🌈 sprint_self 🌈

prints out a description of the object to a string ✨

---

🍓 dump 🍓

dumps the object — and yes, you can read it back in with eval 👑

---

💜 namespace 💜

Usage   - print $term->namespace();     # getting the type
Usage   - $term->namespace("molecular_function"); # setting the type
Alias   - type
Alias   - term_type
Alias   - category
Alias   - ontology
Returns - string representing type
Args    - string represnting type [optional]

this gives you the OBO namespace for the GO::Model::Term or GO::Model::Relationship 🧚

---

🌸 _cleanup 🌸

called at object destruction time 🪦 should be overridden to perform cleanup tasks. it's giving "final goodbyes but make it code" 😭

---

and that's the whole page bestie, you ate it 💖
