NAME¶

MooX::ConfigFromFile::Role - Moo eXtension for initializing objects from config file

DESCRIPTION¶

This role adds a initializing sub around BUILDARGS and puts all what could read from config files into the hash which will be used to construct the final object. While it does that, it internally calls it's own _build_* methods ( _build_config_prefix, _build_config_files and _build_loaded_config) unless the appropriate attributes are already in $params.

ATTRIBUTES¶

This role uses following attributes which might be suitable customized by overloading the appropriate builder or pass defaults in construction arguments.

config_prefix¶

This attribute defaults to FindBin's $Script. It's interpreted as the basename of the config file name to use.

config_dirs¶

This attribute is included from MooX::ConfigDir. It might be unclever to override - but possible. Use with caution.

config_files¶

This attribute contains the list of existing files in config_dirs matching config_prefix . Config::Any->extensions. Search is operated by File::Find::Rule.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS¶

Toby Inkster suggested to rely on BUILDARGS instead of intercepting object creation with nasty hacks. Also teached me a bit more how Moo(se) works.
