# Bread::Board::Service::Deferred(3pm)

Helper for holding a service that is not quite constructed yet

## NAME

Bread::Board::Service::Deferred - Helper for holding a service that is not quite constructed yet

## VERSION

version 0.37

## DESCRIPTION

Class for proxy objects used when resolving circular dependencies.

This class uses a few nasty tricks: replacing `$_[0]`, using `"AUTOLOAD"`, overriding `"isa"` `"meta"` and `"can"`, heavy operator overloading... you should probably not take inspiration from this code unless you really know what you're doing.

In practice, a variable containing an instance of `"Bread::Board::Service::Deferred"` will have its value changed to the actual value instantiated by the service at the first opportunity, and you should not notice that this class was ever there.
