💖 Object::Lazy::Validate — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is Object::Lazy::Validate, and yeah the header on the original page is kinda squished (Object...lidate(3pm) — the terminal truncates it, not us 💅), but the full name is Object::Lazy::Validate and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, i.e. section 3pm. Perl module vibes. Let's GO 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Object::Lazy::Validate — a validator and initializer for Object::Lazy. it's giving "make sure your constructor params aren't a whole mess before anything explodes" 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

0.12 — that's the version, bestie. write it down. 📝

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

here's the whole flex, like literally the entire usage of this module:

use Object::Lazy::Validate;

my ($class, $params) = Object::Lazy::Validate::validate_new(@_);

$params = Object::Lazy::Validate::init($params);

that's it. that's the whole thing. short and iconic, i fear 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so Object::Lazy::Validate is a validator and initializer for Object::Lazy. it shows up, it checks your stuff, it sets your stuff up. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

🫶 SUBROUTINES/METHODS 🫶

💅 sub validate_new

this one is the validator for the constructor of the package Object::Lazy. it's the bouncer at the club door of your constructor. everyone gets checked. no cap. 🚪✨

🧚 sub init

this one is the initializer for the constructor of the package ObjectLazy. yes, we said ObjectLazy right there in the original — no underscore — and we are not fixing it, we are just reporting it exactly as it is, because facts are facts 🙈💖

---

😭 DIAGNOSTICS 😭

both the validator and the initializer can confess at false parameters. like, they will straight up confess — that's the Perl thing where it tells you where it died — if your parameters are false. so if you pass garbage, expect drama. it's giving snitching, lowkey but for your own good 💀

🌈 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT 🌈
