💖 NAME 💖

List::Objects::WithUtils::Array::Junction — it's giving Lightweight junction classes, bestie ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# See List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Array::WithJunctions

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. These are light-weight junction objects, and they cover most of the functionality that Syntax::Keyword::Junction gives you. They hand you the objects that get created by the all_items and any_items methods — those are defined over in List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Array::WithJunctions, iykyk 💅

Only the junction types that List::Objects::WithUtils actually uses are implemented — that's any and all, periodt. Nothing is exported, like, nothing. And the ~~ smart-match operator? Not supported. Sorry babe. 🫶

If you were looking for a stand-alone implementation with more features, go peek at Syntax::Keyword::Junction instead, no cap.

The junction objects you get back are subclasses of List::Objects::WithUtils::Array — iconic behavior honestly 👑

And for the actual usage details? Slide over to List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Array::WithJunctions. That's where the tea is ☕

🎀 Motivation 🎀

Not me explaining my villain origin story but okay 😭

The original goal was to get Sub::Exporter out of the List::Objects::WithUtils dependency tree — because that one came along for the ride with Syntax::Keyword::Junction, and we simply do not need that energy in here.

Perl6::Junction would have done that for me, fr fr. Unfortunately though, it comes with some unresolved RT bugs right now that are reasonably annoying — especially the warnings under perl-5.18.x. Like... no thank you. 💀
