VERSION

version 1.18

SYNOPSIS

package Foo;

use parent qw(Footprintless::MixableBase)

use Footprintless::Mixins qw(
    _sub_entity
    ...
);

sub _init {
    my ($self, %options);
    $self->{debug} = $options{debug};
    $self->{user} = $self->_entity('user', 1);
    return $self;
}

sub get_user {
    my ($self) = @_;
    print("getting user\n") if ($self->{debug});
    return $self->{user};
}

package main;

use Footprintless::Util qw(factory);

my $foo = Foo->new(
    factory({
        root => {
            foo => {
                user => 'bar'
            }
        }
    }),
    'root.foo',
    debug => 1);

my $user = $foo->get_user(); # returns 'bar'

DESCRIPTION

Provides the boilerplate constructor for packages that want to use Footprintless::Mixins. Specifically, strips off the first two parameters ($factory and $coordinate) and sets them as member variables ($self-{factory}> and $self-{coordinate}>). Then it passes on the remainder of the arguments to the _init method. Subclasses should override _init for additional initialization.
