NAME

Mojo::Autobox - Some extra Mojo for Perl native datatypes

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::Base -strict;
use Mojo::Autobox;

# "site.com\n"
'{"html": "<a href=\"http://site.com\"></a>"}'
  ->json('/html')
  ->dom->at('a')->{href}
  ->url->host
  ->byte_stream->say;

DESCRIPTION

Using autobox, methods are provided to Perl native datatypes. This ability is then used to provide methods useful with classes from the Mojolicious toolkit. These are especially useful to contruct objects to continue a "chain" of method invocations.

The effect is lexical, and therefore is contained within the scope that the module is imported into.

CLASSES

When the pragma is in effect, the types are effectively blessed into the following classes:

STRING - Mojo::Autobox::String

ARRAY - Mojo::Autobox::Array

HASH - Mojo::Autobox::Hash

ONE-LINERS

Additionally, for one-liner fun, the class ojoBox may be used to load Mojo::Autobox and ojo.

perl -MojoBox -E 'g("http://mojolicio.us")->dom->find("a")->each(sub{$_->{href}->url->host->b->say})'
