This software enables the efficient lazy loading of attributes, utilizing a trait to streamline the process. It optimizes resource and time usage, improving the user experience.
With this trait, you can easily introduce lazy loading on a field-by-field basis for objects that are stored in KiokuDB. To implement this, you can simply declare which attributes you would like to make lazy, and the MOP will do the heavy lifting.
Instead of resorting to subpar hacks like proxies with AUTOLOAD or overloading, KiokuDB::Meta::Attribute::Lazy provides a much cleaner way of specifying which attributes to lazy load.
Implementation is made possible through a placeholder object, the KiokuDB::Thunk, which stores the ID and the linker's references. When an accessor fetches the object, KiokuDB::Meta::Instance simply replaces the placeholder with the loaded object.
The bottom line: Implementing lazy-loading attributes in your application just got a whole lot easier. Thanks to KiokDB::Meta::Attribute::Lazy, you can now store and retrieve objects with ease and speed.
