Rose::Object(3pm)

💖 Rose::Object — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, this is Rose::Object, a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection 🎀 and honestly? it's giving "tiny but mighty." it's a simple object base class. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Rose::Object — a simple object base class. yes bestie, that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you use it, copy-paste style, no cap:

package MyObject;

use Rose::Object;
our @ISA = qw(Rose::Object);

sub foo { ... }
sub bar { ... }
...

my $o = MyObject->new(foo => 'abc', bar => 5);
...

literally that's all you need to start being a main character with your own class 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Rose::Object is a generic object base class. it does not come with a whole buffet of features — it provides very little functionality, but a healthy dose of convention 🌈. and honestly? that's the point. lowkey minimal, highkey useful.

👑 METHODS 👑

🌟 new PARAMS

constructs a new, empty, hash-based object based on PARAMS 🎀

and what are PARAMS? they're name/value pairs, bestie. then it calls init (scroll down, it's right there 👇) and passes PARAMS to it unmodified — no edits, no notes, no touching, fr fr.

🌟 init PARAMS

you hand it a list of name/value pairs in PARAMS, and it calls the object method of each name, passing the corresponding value along as an argument ✨

the methods get called in the order that they appear in PARAMS — order matters, periodt 💅

like, for example:

$o->init(foo => 1, bar => 2);

is equivalent to this exact sequence:

$o->foo(1);
$o->bar(2);

see? foo first, then bar. in that order. no skipping ahead 🙈
