MooX::Singleton(3pm)

💖 MooX::Singleton 💖

okay bestie, so this is MooX::Singleton — the Perl module that takes your cute little Moo class and makes it a singleton. one instance. one. that's the whole vibe. 👑

version 1.20 — yes she's been around, she's iconic, she's stable.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

package MyApp;
use Moo;
with 'MooX::Singleton';

package main;

my $instance = MyApp->instance(@optional_init_args);
my $same = MyApp->instance;

like. look at her. with 'MooX::Singleton' and boom, you got yourself an instance. 🌸

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is a Role::Tiny role, and what it does is hand you an instance method that turns your object into a singleton. that's it. that's the whole job. she's lowkey minimal and highkey perfect for it. 💅

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

instance

my $singleton = MyApp->instance(@args1);
my $same = MyApp->instance;
# @args2 are ignored
my $above = MyApp->instance(@args2);

what she does: creates a new object initialized with the arguments you gave her, and then returns it. ✨

NOTE: subsequent calls to instance will return the singleton instance and ignore any arguments you pass. literally just ignore them. no cap. 🙈 this is different from MooseX::Singleton, which doesn't allow any arguments at all. so like, different energy entirely. iykyk.
