# Bread::Board::Dependency(3pm)

dependency for a service

## NAME

Bread::Board::Dependency - dependency for a service

## VERSION

version 0.37

## DESCRIPTION

This class holds the information for a dependency of a service. When resolving dependencies, instances of this class will be used to access the services that will provide the depended-on values.

This class consumes the Bread::Board::Traversable role to retrieve services given their path.

## ATTRIBUTES

### "service\_path"

The path to use (possibly relative to the dependency itself) to access the "service".

### "service"

The service this dependency points at. Usually built lazily from the "service\_path", but could just be passed in to the constructor.

### "service\_name"

Name of the "service", defaults to the last element of the "service\_path".

## METHODS

### "has\_service\_path"

Predicate for the "service\_path" attribute.

### "get"

### "is\_locked"

### "lock"

### "unlock"

These methods are delegated to the "service".
