NAME

       MooseX::Storage::Deferred - A role for indecisive programmers

VERSION

       version 0.45

SYNOPSIS

         package Point;
         use Moose;
         use MooseX::Storage;

         with 'MooseX::Storage::Deferred';

         has 'x' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');
         has 'y' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int');

         1;

         my $p = Point->new(x => 10, y => 10);

         ## methods to freeze/thaw into
         ## a specified serialization format
         ## (in this case JSON)

         # pack the class into a JSON string
         $p->freeze({ format => 'JSON' }); # { "__CLASS__" : "Point", "x" : 10, "y" : 10 }

         # pack the class into a JSON string using parameterized JSONpm role
         $p->freeze({ format => [ JSONpm => { json_opts => { pretty => 1 } } ] });

         # unpack the JSON string into a class
         my $p2 = Point->thaw(
             '{ "__CLASS__" : "Point", "x" : 10, "y" : 10 }',
             { format => 'JSON' }
         );

DESCRIPTION

       This role is designed for those times when you need to serialize into many different formats or I/O
       options.

       It basically allows you to choose the format and IO options only when you actually use them (see the
       SYNOPSIS for more info)

SUPPORTED FORMATS

       JSON
       JSONpm
       YAML
       Storable

SUPPORTED I/O

       File
       AtomicFile

       NOTE: The StorableFile I/O option is not supported, this is because it does not mix well with options who
       also have a "thaw" and "freeze" methods like this. It is possible to probably work around this issue, but
       I  don't currently have the need for it. If you need this supported, talk to me and I will see what I can
       do.

METHODS

       freeze ($type_desc)
       thaw ($data, $type_desc)
       load ($filename, $type_desc)
       store ($filename, $type_desc)

   Introspection
       meta
