MooseX::Failover - Instantiate Moose classes with failover
v0.2.0_01
# In your class:
package MyClass;
use Moose;
with 'MooseX::Failover';
# When using the class
my $obj = MyClass->new( %args, failover_to => 'OtherClass' );
# If %args contains missing or invalid values or new otherwise
# fails, then $obj will be of type "OtherClass".See How to install CPAN modules.
This distribution requires Perl v5.10.0.
This distribution requires the following modules:
Class::Load (version 0.20)
Moose (version 2.1101)
This distribution recommends the following modules:
Added note about making classes immutable.
Minor optimizations.
Uses namespace::autoclean.
See the Changes file for a longer revision history.
This role provides constructor failover for Moose classes.
If a class cannot be instantiated because of invalid arguments (perhaps from an untrusted source), then instead it returns the failover class (passing the same arguments to that class).
This allows for cleaner design, by not forcing you to duplicate type checking for class parameters.
Note that this is roughly equivalent to using
my $obj = eval { MyClass->new(%args) //
OtherClass->new( %args, error => $@ );Note that your failover class should support the same methods as the original class. A use case for this role would be for instantiating Web::Machine::Resource objects, where the failover is a Web::Machine::Resource object that returns an error page.
Ideally, your failover class would satisy the Liskov Substitution Principle, so that (roughly) all provable properties of the original class are also provable of the failover class. In practice, we only care about the properties (methods and attributes) that are actually used in our programs.
