.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This recipe shows how to build your own meta-instance. The meta
instance is the metaclass that creates object instances and helps
manages access to attribute slots.
.PP
In this example, we're creating a meta-instance that is based on a
glob reference rather than a hash reference. This example is largely
based on the Piotr Roszatycki's MooseX::GlobRef module.
.PP
Our extension is a role which will be applied to Moose::Meta::Instance,
which creates hash reference based objects. We need to override all the methods
which make assumptions about the object's data structure.
.PP
The first method we override is \f(CW\*(C`create_instance\*(C'\fR:
.PP
.Vb 5
\& sub create_instance {
\& my $self = shift;
\& my $sym = gensym();
\& bless $sym, $self\->_class_name;
\& }
.Ve
.PP
This returns an glob reference which has been blessed into our
meta-instance's associated class.
.PP
We also override \f(CW\*(C`clone_instance\*(C'\fR to create a new array reference:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& sub clone_instance {
\& my ( $self, $instance ) = @_;
\&
\& my $new_sym = gensym();
\& %{*$new_sym} = %{*$instance};
\&
\& bless $new_sym, $self\->_class_name;
\& }
.Ve
.PP
After that, we have a series of methods which mediate access to the
object's slots (attributes are stored in \*(L"slots\*(R"). In the default
instance class, these expect the object to be a hash reference, but we
need to change this to expect a glob reference instead.
.PP
.Vb 4
\& sub get_slot_value {
\& my ( $self, $instance, $slot_name ) = @_;
\& *$instance\->{$slot_name};
\& }
.Ve
.PP
This level of indirection probably makes our instance class \fIslower\fR
than the default. However, when attribute access is inlined, this
lookup will be cached:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& sub inline_slot_access {
\& my ( $self, $instance, $slot_name ) = @_;
\& return \*(Aq*{\*(Aq . $instance . \*(Aq}\->{\*(Aq . $slot_name . \*(Aq}\*(Aq;
\& }
.Ve
.PP
The code snippet that the \f(CW\*(C`inline_slot_access\*(C'\fR method returns will
get \f(CW\*(C`eval\*(C'\fR'd once per attribute.
.PP
Finally, we use this meta-instance in our \f(CW\*(C`MyApp::User\*(C'\fR class:
.PP
.Vb 6
\& Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaroles(
\& for => _\|_PACKAGE_\|_,
\& class_metaroles => {
\& instance => [\*(AqMy::Meta::Instance\*(Aq],
\& },
\& );
.Ve
.PP
We actually don't recommend the use of Moose::Util::MetaRole directly in
your class in most cases. Typically, this would be provided by a
Moose::Exporter\-based module which handles applying the role for you.
.SH "CONCLUSION"
.IX Header "CONCLUSION"
This recipe shows how to create your own meta-instance class. It's
unlikely that you'll need to do this yourself, but it's interesting to
take a peek at how Moose works under the hood.

.IP "\(bu" 4
MooseX::Singleton
.Sp
This module extends the instance class in order to ensure that the
object is a singleton. The instance it uses is still a blessed hash
reference.
.IP "\(bu" 4
MooseX::GlobRef
.Sp
This module makes the instance a blessed glob reference. This lets you
use a handle as an object instance.
