# NAME
MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct - A [Data::Visitor](https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::Visitor) for creating Moose objects from blessed placeholders
# VERSION
version 1.01
# SYNOPSIS
```perl
use MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct;
my $obj = bless( {
init_arg_foo => "Blah",
arf => "yay",
}, "Foo" );
my $proper = MooseX::Blessed::Reconstruct->new->visit($obj);
# equivalent to:
my $proper = Foo->meta->new_object(%$obj);
# but recursive (and works with shared references)
```
# DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this module is to "fix up" blessed data into a real Moose
object.
# METHODS
See [Data::Visitor](https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::Visitor)
## new
Constructor.
### arguments
- load\_classes
If `true` (which is the default), we will try to require its class
when the target object is `visit`ed.
## load\_classes
Read/write accessor to the `load_classes` attribute.
If `true`, we try to require its class when a target object is `visit`ed.
## visit\_object $object
Calls ["load\_class" in Class::MOP](https://metacpan.org/pod/Class::MOP#load_class) on the `ref` of $object.
If there's a metaclass, calls `visit_object_with_meta`, otherwise `visit_ref`
is used to walk the object brutishly.
Returns a deep clone of the input structure with all the [Moose](https://metacpan.org/pod/Moose) objects
reconstructed "properly".
## visit\_object\_with\_meta $obj, $meta
Uses the metaclass `$meta` to create a new instance, registers the instance
with [Data::Visitor](https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::Visitor)'s cycle tracking, and then inflates it using
["new\_object" in Moose::Meta::Class](https://metacpan.org/pod/Moose::Meta::Class#new_object).
## prepare\_args $obj
Collapses $obj into key value pairs to be used as init args to
["new\_object" in Moose::Meta::Class](https://metacpan.org/pod/Moose::Meta::Class#new_object).
