NAME¶
MooseX::Has::Sugar - Sugar Syntax for moose 'has' fieldsVERSION¶
version 0.05070420SYNOPSIS¶
Moose "has" syntax is generally fine, but sometimes one gets bothered with the constant typing of string quotes for things. The MooseX::Types module exists and in many ways reduces the need for constant string creation.Primary Benefits at a Glance¶
Reduced Typing in "has" declarations. The constant need to type "=>" and '' is fine for one-off cases, but the instant you have more than about 4 attributes it starts to get annoying. More compact declarations. Reduces much of the redundant typing in most cases, which makes your life easier, and makes it take up less visual space, which makes it faster to read. No String Worries Strings are often problematic, due to white-space etc. Noted that if you do happen to mess them up, Moose should at least warn you that you've done something daft. Using this alleviates that worry.Before this Module.¶
Classical Moosehas foo => ( isa => 'Str', is => 'ro', required => 1, ); has bar => ( isa => 'Str', is => 'rw' lazy_build => 1, );Lazy Evil way to do it: PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS
has qw( foo isa Str is ro required 1 ); has qw( bar isa Str is rw lazy_build 1 );
With this module¶
( and with MooseX::Types )use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str ); use MooseX::Has::Sugar; has foo => ( isa => Str, ro, required, ); has bar => ( isa => Str, rw, lazy_build, );Or even
use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str ); use MooseX::Has::Sugar; has foo => ( isa => Str, ro, required, ); has bar => ( isa => Str, rw, lazy_build, );
Alternative Forms¶
Basic "is" Expansion Only ( using ::Sugar::Minimal instead )use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str ); use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal; has foo => ( isa => Str, is => ro, required => 1, ); has bar => ( isa => Str, is => rw, lazy_build => 1, );Attribute Expansions with Basic Expansions ( Combining parts of this and ::Sugar::Minimal )
use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str ); use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal; use MooseX::Has::Sugar qw( :attrs ); has foo => ( isa => Str, is => ro, required, ); has bar => ( isa => Str, is => rw, lazy_build, );
EXPORT GROUPS¶
:default¶
Since 0.0300, this exports all our syntax, the same as ":attrs :isattrs". Primarily because I found you generally want all the sugar, not just part of it. This also gets rid of that nasty exclusion logic.:isattrs¶
This exports "ro", "rw" and "bare" as lists, so they behave as stand-alone attrs like "lazy" does.has foo => ( required, isa => 'Str', ro, );NOTE: This option is incompatible with ::Sugar::Minimal : "CONFLICTS"
:attrs¶
This exports "lazy" , "lazy_build" and "required", "coerce", "weak_ref" and "auto_deref" as subs that assume positive.has foo => ( required, isa => 'Str', );NOTE: This option is incompatible with MooseX::Types and Moose's Type Constraints Module : "CONFLICTS"
:is¶
DEPRECATED. See ::Sugar::Minimal for the same functionality:allattrs¶
DEPRECATED, just use ":default" or douse MooseX::Has::Sugar;
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS¶
bare¶
returns "('is','bare')"ro¶
returns "('is','ro')"rw¶
returns "('is','rw')"required¶
returns "('required',1)"lazy¶
returns "('lazy',1)"lazy_build¶
returns "('lazy_build',1)"weak_ref¶
returns "('weak_ref',1)"coerce¶
returns "('coerce',1)" WARNING: Conflict with MooseX::Types and Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, see "CONFLICTS".auto_deref¶
returns "('auto_deref',1)"CONFLICTS¶
MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal¶
MooseX::Has::Sugar::Saccharin¶
This module is not intended to be used in conjunction with::Sugar::Minimal or ::Sugar::Saccharin We export many of the same symbols and its just not very sensible.
MooseX::Types¶
Moose::Util::TypeConstraints¶
due to exporting the "coerce" symbol, using us in the same scope as a call touse MooseX::Types ....or
use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints will result in a symbol collision. We recommend using and creating proper type libraries instead, ( which will absolve you entirely of the need to use MooseX::Types and MooseX::Has::Sugar(::*)? in the same scope )
