is there some established opinion/best practice on how to provide
some sort of startup/shutdown hooks to your Moose class?
What I basically want is something like:
package MyClass;
use TheGreatClass;
sub onStart { ... }
sub onEnd { ... }
in application:
use MyClass;
MyClass->new->run;
Something akin to what Test::Class does, but possibly without the
sub attributes.
When are onStart and onEnd run? before and after "run"? If so, you want to
write a "run" method and then add
before run => sub { ... };
after run => sub { ... };
Hello,
thanks for the answers Ricardo and Jesse.
I know about build/after as well as about BUILD/DEMOLISH. Still I need
something little bit different. My example was not clear and has a
mistake actually.
I'll try to improve it here.
So my class is 'TheGreatClass'. Now the user can derive from it and
specify his hooks. There could be several methods designated to run
'before' and 'after' the 'run' and they would be run in say alphabetical
order.
I could probably craft something together, but wanted to ask first if
there is some MooseX module that already does this or something similar.
To invoke the example of 'Test::Class' again, there you can do:
sub do_stuff : Test(startup) { }
sub another_stuff_to_do : Test(startup) { }
sub cleanup_stuff : Test(shutdown) { }
