✨ MetaCPAN::Client::Role::Entity — bestie edition ✨

okay so the real page name is MetaCP...Entity(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? it's shorter than my attention span but it's kinda iconic. let's get into it 💅

🦋 NAME 🦋

MetaCPAN::Client::Role::Entity — it's a role for MetaCPAN entities, bestie. that's the whole vibe.

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.044000 ✨ (yes she's got her numbers, we love a versioned queen)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically, this is a role that gets consumed by every single MetaCPAN::Client entity. it's the shared mom friend of the entity world 🫶

what does it bring to the group chat? common attributes and methods. that's it. that's her job. and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

🌈 data

a hash reference holding all the entity data. like, every lil fact about the entity lives in here 💖

entities are usually generated through new_from_request, which sets the data attribute all cute and correct by grabbing the relevant information off the request. it knows exactly what to keep. main character energy fr fr ✨

Required. you cannot skip this one. no data, no entity. periodt.

👑 METHODS 👑

💅 new_from_request

makes you a brand new entity object using a request hash. that hash is the info that came back from a MetaCPAN request 🦋

bonus: it also sets the data attribute for you. so thoughtful. so giving.

⭐ BUILDARGS

does the type checks & conversion for the incoming data 💀✨

translation: it peeks at what you're passing in and makes sure it's actually the right type, converting it if needed. no bad vibes get through the door. a true gatekeeper 🌈
