GO::ObjFactory(3pm)

💖 GO::ObjFactory — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this one is from User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's the page for GO::ObjFactory in perl v5.36.0. Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

GO::ObjFactory — the GO Object Factory 🏭✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lowkey the whole synopsis is just this vibe check: you should not be calling this method directly. nope. not you. not today. 🚫

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, fr fr: you only need to be aware of this class if you're out here generating brand new objects. and like — do NOT just build objects like this, bestie, that's not the move:

$term = GO::Model::Term->new($h);

instead, the iconique way to do it is this:

$fac = GO::ObjFactory->new();
$term = $fac->create_term_obj($h);

and here's the part that's giving convenience 👑 — usually you don't even need to instantiate a factory yourself, because every object made with a factory carries around a reference to that factory. so you can literally just do:

# $graph object was previously created via a factory
$term = $graph->create_term_obj($h);

now, real talk: if you're only using the go-perl module, factories don't really buy you much — it's giving "eh". BUT if you're also using go-db-perl and GO::AppHandle, then factories can be genuinely useful, because all objects generated from the database get attached to an AppHandle, which means "lazy loading" can be used. so slay. ✨ See GO::AppHandle in go-db-perl for the details.
