KiokuDB::Thunk(3pm)

💖 KiokuDB::Thunk — the manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so. we're talking about KiokuDB::Thunk, which lives in the Perl 5 user-contributed docs section, and it's sitting at version 0.57. that's the tea. 🫖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

KiokuDB::Thunk — internal only placeholder for deferred objects. like, it's the backstage pass holder, not the main character. 👑

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.57 — that's the number, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

# do not use directly,
# KiokuDB::Meta::Attribute::Lazy, KiokuDB::Meta::Instance and
# KiokuDB::TypeMap::Entry::MOP will do the actual thunking of data so that
# the thunk will never be visible unless you break encapsulation.

and that's it, that's the whole vibe. do NOT use this directly, i'm literally begging. 🙏

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: KiokuDB::Thunk is an internal placeholder object. it's not for you. it's not for me. it's for the machinery. 🤖

it gets used on attributes that you mark with KiokuDB::Meta::Attribute::Lazy, and that happens automatically — you don't lift a finger, the system just does it. slay. ✨

and here's the thing: it should never be visible to the user, because KiokuDB::Meta::Instance will automatically inflate it before it's even seen by the accessor's code. like, by the time your accessor gets a look, the thunk is already gone. poof. 🪄

so if you are seeing a thunk, bestie… you broke encapsulation. that's on you. 💀
