KiokuDB::TypeMap(3)

NAME
KiokuDB::TypeMap - Class to collapsing/expanding logic.

SYNOPSIS
    use KiokuDB::TypeMap;

    KiokuDB::TypeMap->new(
        entries => {
            'Foo' => KiokuDB::TypeMap::Entry::Naive->new,
        },
        isa_entries => {
            'My::Class' => KiokuDB::TypeMap::Entry::Naive->new,
        },
        includes => [
            $typemap_foo,
            $typemap_bar,
        ],
    );

DESCRIPTION
The KiokuDB typemap maps classes to KiokuDB::TypeMap::Entry objects.

The mapping is by class, and entries can be keyed normally (using "ref $object" equality) or by filtering on "$object->isa($class)" ("isa_entries").

ATTRIBUTES

entries
    A hash of normal entries.

isa_entries
    A hash of "$object->isa" based entries.

includes
    A list of parent typemaps to inherit entries from.

METHODS

    Given a class returns the "KiokuDB::TypeMap::Entry" object corresponding tot hat class.

    Called by KiokuDB::TypeMap::Resover

resolve_entry $entry
    If the entry is an alias, it will be resolved recursively, and simply returned otherwise.

all_entries
    Returns the merged "entries" from this typemap and all the included typemaps.

all_isa_entries
    Returns the merged "isa_entries" from this typemap and all the included typemaps.

all_isa_entry_classes
    An array reference of all the classes in "all_isa_entries", sorted from least derived to most derived.
