# Exporter::Declare::Export(3pm)

Base class for all export objects.

## NAME

Exporter::Declare::Export - Base class for all export objects.

## DESCRIPTION

All exports are refs, and all are blessed. This class tracks some per-export information via an inside-out objects system. All things an export may need to do, such as inject itself into a package are handled here. This allows some complicated, or ugly logic to be abstracted out of the exporter and metadata classes.

## METHODS

- $class-\>new( $ref, exported\_by =\> $package, %data )

  Create a new export from `$ref`. You must specify the name of the class doing the exporting.

- $export-\>inject( $package, $name, @args )

  This will inject the export into `$package` under `$name`. `@args` are ignored in most cases. See Exporter::Declare::Export::Generator for an example where they are used.

- $package = $export-\>**exported\_by()**

  Returns the name of the package from which this export was originally exported.

- @params = $export-\>**required\_specs()**

  Documented for subclassing purposes. This should always return a list of required parameters at construction time.

- $export-\>**DESTROY()**

  Documented for subclassing purposes. This takes care of cleanup related to storing data in an inside-out objects system.
