Name¶

Mo::build - Adds the build feature to Mo

Synopsis¶

    use Mo qw'build';
    has name => ( is => 'rw' );
    sub BUILD {
        my $self = shift;
        ...
    }

Description¶

Adds the "BUILD" feature to Mo when imported.

If a sub called "BUILD" exists on the package, it will be executed on $self during instantiation.

Any non-lazy "default" and "builder" attributes, as well as any value passed to "new" will already be set when "BUILD" is called.

    package ABCD;
    use Mo qw'build builder default';
    use feature 'say';
    has a => (default => 1234, lazy => 0);
    has b => (builder => '_b', lazy => 0);
    has c => (is => 'rw');
    has d => (is => 'rw');
    sub _b { 'blue' }
    sub BUILD {
        my ($self) = @_;
        say $self->{a};
        say $self->{b};
        say $self->{c};
        say 'undef' unless defined $self->{d};
    }
    ABCD->new(c => 'days') # => 1234
                           #    blue
                           #    days
                           #    undef
