NAME MooX::Aspartame - it seems sweet, but it probably has long-term adverse health effects SYNOPSIS use MooX::Aspartame; role NamedThing { has name => (is => "ro", isa => Str); } class Person with NamedThing; class Company with NamedThing; class Employee extends Person { has job_title => (is => "rwp", isa => Str); has employer => (is => "rwp", isa => InstanceOf["Company"]); method change_job ( (Object) $employer, (Str) $title ) { $self->_set_job_title($title); $self->_set_employer($employer); } method promote ( (Str) $title ) { $self->_set_job_title($title); } } DESCRIPTION This is something like a lightweight MooseX::Declare. It gives you three keywords: "class" Declares a class. By default this uses Moo. But it's possible to promote a class to Moose with the "using" option: class Employee using Moose { ... } Other options for classes are "extends" for setting a parent class, and "with" for composing roles. "role" Declares a role using Moo::Role. This also supports "using Moose", and "with". "exporter" Declares a utilities package. This supports a "providing" option to add function names to @EXPORT_OK. exporter Utils providing find_person, find_company { fun find_person ( (Str) $name ) { ...; } fun find_company ( (Str) $name ) { ...; } } use Utils find_person => { -as => "get_person" }; my $bob = get_person("Bob"); Exporters are built using Exporter::TypeTiny. Within the packages declared by these keywords, the following features are always available: * Perl 5.14 features. (MooX::Aspartame requires Perl 5.14.) * Strictures, including "FATAL" warnings, but not "uninitialized", "void", "once" or "numeric" warnings. * Function::Parameters (in strict mode) * Try::Tiny * Types::Standard type constraints * Carp's "confess" * Scalar::Util's "blessed" * Constants for "true" and "false". * namespace::sweep, except within exporters. It is possible to inject other functions into all packages using: use MooX::Aspartame [ 'List::Util' => [qw( first reduce )], 'List::MoreUtils' => [qw( any all none )], ]; In the "outer" package (where MooX::Aspartame is used), Try::Tiny and true are provided. BUGS Please report any bugs to . SEE ALSO Similar: MooseX::Declare. Main functionality exposed by this module: Moo, Function::Parameters, Try::Tiny, Types::Standard, namespace::sweep, Exporter::TypeTiny.
