NAME Class::C3::Componentised - Load mix-ins or components to your C3-based class SYNOPSIS package MyModule; use strict; use warnings; use base 'Class::C3::Componentised'; sub component_base_class { "MyModule::Component" } package main; MyModule->load_components( qw/Foo Bar/ ); # Will load MyModule::Component::Foo and MyModule::Component::Bar DESCRIPTION This will inject base classes to your module using the Class::C3 method resolution order. Please note: these are not plugins that can take precedence over methods declared in MyModule. If you want something like that, consider MooseX::Object::Pluggable. METHODS load_components( @comps ) Loads the given components into the current module. If a module begins with a "+" character, it is taken to be a fully qualified class name, otherwise "$class->component_base_class" is prepended to it. Calling this will call "Class::C3::reinitialize". load_own_components( @comps ) Similar to load_components, but assumes every class is "$class::$comp". load_optional_components As load_components, but will silently ignore any components that cannot be found. ensure_class_loaded Given a class name, tests to see if it is already loaded or otherwise defined. If it is not yet loaded, the package is require'd, and an exception is thrown if the class is still not loaded. BUG: For some reason, packages with syntax errors are added to %INC on require ensure_class_found Returns true if the specified class is installed or already loaded, false otherwise. inject_base Does the actual magic of adjusting @ISA on the target module. load_optional_class Returns a true value if the specified class is installed and loaded successfully, throws an exception if the class is found but not loaded successfully, and false if the class is not installed AUTHORS Matt S.
