( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I recently needed such an abstraction as well. I had a hierarchy of classes with lots of class methods, which I'm in the process of refactoring into another shape. Since I didn't know exactly how yet, I started with the simplest thing that could possibly work:
package Model::Classloader; sub new { my $pkg = shift; return bless {@_}, $pkg } sub class { my $self = shift; my $class = shift; my $fullname = $self->{namespace} . "::$class"; eval "require $fullname;"; return $fullname; }
The usage is pretty simple: you instantiate a Model::Classloader object, giving it a namespace attribute, and then you can repeatedly call class() on it to get the appropriate package name.

Here's an example for your code:

package MyApp::Frontend; use Module::Classloader; our $C = Module::Classloader->new(namespace => 'MyApp::Adaptor'); sub get_report { $C->class('Report')->get_report($report_id); } package MyApp::Adaptor::Report; use Module::Classloader; our $C = Module::Classloader->new(namespace => 'MyApp::Backend'); sub get_report { # some business logic such as check if report exist, etc. $C->class('Report')->get_report(...); }
This does pretty much exactly the same as your original code, but now the package names are abstracted away. When you decide you need more functionality, you can get it by simply extending the class loader.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
