=head1 NAME
LazyClass - An example metaclass with lazy initialization
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package BinaryTree;
use metaclass (
':attribute_metaclass' => 'LazyClass::Attribute',
':instance_metaclass' => 'LazyClass::Instance',
);
BinaryTree->meta->add_attribute('node' => (
accessor => 'node',
init_arg => ':node'
));
BinaryTree->meta->add_attribute('left' => (
reader => 'left',
default => sub { BinaryTree->new() }
));
BinaryTree->meta->add_attribute('right' => (
reader => 'right',
default => sub { BinaryTree->new() }
));
sub new {
my $class = shift;
$class->meta->new_object(@_);
}
# ... later in code
my $btree = BinaryTree->new();
# ... $btree is an empty hash, no keys are initialized yet
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an example metclass in which all attributes are created
lazily. This means that no entries are made in the instance HASH
until the last possible moment.
The example above of a binary tree is a good use for such a
metaclass because it allows the class to be space efficient
without complicating the programing of it. This would also be
ideal for a class which has a large amount of attributes,
several of which are optional.
