MooX::...::Late(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

ok so listen bestie, this page is about MooX::StrictConstructor::Role::Constructor::Late — a role that makes Moo constructors strict, but like… at the END of construction. not during. the end. keep up 🫶

It's from the MooX::...::Late(3pm) page in User Contributed Perl Documentation, and yes the name is a whole mouthful, we don't make the rules 💀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this role wraps Method::Generate::Constructor with a lil bit of code, and what that code does is make sure that every argument you passed to the constructor is actually a valid init_args for the class. no sneaky strays allowed. no randos sneaking in through the window. ✨

but here's the iconic part — the check happens at the end of construction, not up front. why does that matter, you ask? because it means BUILD methods get a chance to delete parameters first, which exempts those parameters from the strict checks. so your BUILD method can be like "oh that one? not yours, bestie, deleting it 💅" and the strictness vibe check just… moves on. slay.

so like: strict, but with ✨emotional intelligence✨.
