MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct - A Data::Visitor for creating Moose objects from blessed placeholders

	use MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct;




	my $obj = bless( {
		init_arg_foo => "Blah",
		arf => "yay",
	}, "Foo" );

	my $proper = MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct->new->visit($obj);







	# equivalent to:

	my $proper = Foo->meta->new_object(%$obj);

	# but recursive (and works with shared references)

The purpose of this module is to "fix up" blessed data into a real Moose object.

This is used internally by MooseX::YAML but has no implementation details having to do with YAML itself.

See Data::Visitor

visit_object $object

Calls load_class in Class::MOP on the ref of $object.

If there's a metaclass, calls visit_object_with_meta, otherwise visit_ref is used to walk the object brutishly.

Returns a deep clone of the input structure with all the Moose objects reconstructed "properly".

visit_object_with_meta $obj, $meta

Uses the metaclass $meta to create a new instance, registers the instance with Data::Visitor's cycle tracking, and then inflates it using new_object in Moose::Meta::Class.

prepare_args $obj

Collapses $obj into key value pairs to be used as init args to new_object in Moose::Meta::Class.

This module is maintained using Darcs. You can get the latest version from http://nothingmuch.woobling.org/code, and use darcs send to commit changes.
