236 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
237 | |
71bd6a81 |
238 | This module is an extremely light-weight subset of L<Moose> optimised for |
52e8f144 |
239 | rapid startup and "pay only for what you use". |
71bd6a81 |
240 | |
8146585e |
241 | It also avoids depending on any XS modules to allow simple deployments. The |
52e8f144 |
242 | name C<Moo> is based on the idea that it provides almost -- but not quite -- two |
8146585e |
243 | thirds of L<Moose>. |
244 | |
52e8f144 |
245 | Unlike L<Mouse> this module does not aim at full compatibility with |
71bd6a81 |
246 | L<Moose>'s surface syntax, preferring instead of provide full interoperability |
5f0ba39b |
247 | via the metaclass inflation capabilities described in L</MOO AND MOOSE>. |
71bd6a81 |
248 | |
249 | For a full list of the minor differences between L<Moose> and L<Moo>'s surface |
21717718 |
250 | syntax, see L</INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH MOOSE>. |
8146585e |
251 | |
5d5bb71d |
252 | =head1 WHY MOO EXISTS |
253 | |
254 | If you want a full object system with a rich Metaprotocol, L<Moose> is |
255 | already wonderful. |
256 | |
71bd6a81 |
257 | However, sometimes you're writing a command line script or a CGI script |
258 | where fast startup is essential, or code designed to be deployed as a single |
259 | file via L<App::FatPacker>, or you're writing a CPAN module and you want it |
260 | to be usable by people with those constraints. |
261 | |
5d5bb71d |
262 | I've tried several times to use L<Mouse> but it's 3x the size of Moo and |
263 | takes longer to load than most of my Moo based CGI scripts take to run. |
264 | |
265 | If you don't want L<Moose>, you don't want "less metaprotocol" like L<Mouse>, |
52e8f144 |
266 | you want "as little as possible" -- which means "no metaprotocol", which is |
5d5bb71d |
267 | what Moo provides. |
268 | |
71bd6a81 |
269 | Better still, if you install and load L<Moose>, we set up metaclasses for your |
270 | L<Moo> classes and L<Moo::Role> roles, so you can use them in L<Moose> code |
271 | without ever noticing that some of your codebase is using L<Moo>. |
5d5bb71d |
272 | |
52e8f144 |
273 | Hence, Moo exists as its name -- Minimal Object Orientation -- with a pledge |
5d5bb71d |
274 | to make it smooth to upgrade to L<Moose> when you need more than minimal |
275 | features. |
276 | |
71bd6a81 |
277 | =head1 MOO AND MOOSE |
1fce5bc9 |
278 | |
279 | If L<Moo> detects L<Moose> being loaded, it will automatically register |
280 | metaclasses for your L<Moo> and L<Moo::Role> packages, so you should be able |
a297a9ab |
281 | to use them in L<Moose> code without anybody ever noticing you aren't using |
1fce5bc9 |
282 | L<Moose> everywhere. |
283 | |
9a3fc505 |
284 | L<Moo> will also create L<Moose type constraints|Moose::Manual::Types> for |
285 | classes and roles, so that C<< isa => 'MyClass' >> and C<< isa => 'MyRole' >> |
286 | work the same as for L<Moose> classes and roles. |
287 | |
a297a9ab |
288 | Extending a L<Moose> class or consuming a L<Moose::Role> will also work. |
1fce5bc9 |
289 | |
a297a9ab |
290 | So will extending a L<Mouse> class or consuming a L<Mouse::Role> - but note |
291 | that we don't provide L<Mouse> metaclasses or metaroles so the other way |
292 | around doesn't work. This feature exists for L<Any::Moose> users porting to |
52e8f144 |
293 | L<Moo>; enabling L<Mouse> users to use L<Moo> classes is not a priority for us. |
c100c04c |
294 | |
660f3db2 |
295 | This means that there is no need for anything like L<Any::Moose> for Moo |
c100c04c |
296 | code - Moo and Moose code should simply interoperate without problem. To |
297 | handle L<Mouse> code, you'll likely need an empty Moo role or class consuming |
298 | or extending the L<Mouse> stuff since it doesn't register true L<Moose> |
71bd6a81 |
299 | metaclasses like L<Moo> does. |
300 | |
301 | If you want types to be upgraded to the L<Moose> types, use |
302 | L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> and install the L<MooseX::Types> library to |
303 | match the L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> library you're using - L<Moo> will |
304 | load the L<MooseX::Types> library and use that type for the newly created |
305 | metaclass. |
660f3db2 |
306 | |
1fce5bc9 |
307 | If you need to disable the metaclass creation, add: |
308 | |
309 | no Moo::sification; |
310 | |
311 | to your code before Moose is loaded, but bear in mind that this switch is |
a297a9ab |
312 | currently global and turns the mechanism off entirely so don't put this |
313 | in library code. |
1fce5bc9 |
314 | |
c687d016 |
315 | =head1 MOO VERSUS ANY::MOOSE |
316 | |
317 | L<Any::Moose> will load L<Mouse> normally, and L<Moose> in a program using |
318 | L<Moose> - which theoretically allows you to get the startup time of L<Mouse> |
319 | without disadvantaging L<Moose> users. |
320 | |
321 | Sadly, this doesn't entirely work, since the selection is load order dependent |
322 | - L<Moo>'s metaclass inflation system explained above in L</MOO AND MOOSE> is |
323 | significantly more reliable. |
324 | |
325 | So if you want to write a CPAN module that loads fast or has only pure perl |
326 | dependencies but is also fully usable by L<Moose> users, you should be using |
327 | L<Moo>. |
328 | |
329 | For a full explanation, see the article |
330 | L<http://shadow.cat/blog/matt-s-trout/moo-versus-any-moose> which explains |
331 | the differing strategies in more detail and provides a direct example of |
332 | where L<Moo> succeeds and L<Any::Moose> fails. |

334 | =head1 IMPORTED METHODS |
335 | |
336 | =head2 new |
337 | |
338 | Foo::Bar->new( attr1 => 3 ); |
339 | |
340 | or |
341 | |
342 | Foo::Bar->new({ attr1 => 3 }); |
343 | |
2e575bcd |
344 | =head2 BUILDARGS |
345 | |
f2eac33e |
346 | sub BUILDARGS { |
a17be455 |
347 | my ( $class, @args ) = @_; |
348 | |
349 | unshift @args, "attr1" if @args % 2 == 1; |
350 | |
f2eac33e |
351 | return { @args }; |
a17be455 |
352 | }; |
353 | |
354 | Foo::Bar->new( 3 ); |
355 | |
356 | The default implementation of this method accepts a hash or hash reference of |
357 | named parameters. If it receives a single argument that isn't a hash reference |
358 | it throws an error. |
359 | |
360 | You can override this method in your class to handle other types of options |
361 | passed to the constructor. |
362 | |
363 | This method should always return a hash reference of named options. |
2e575bcd |
364 | |
76a0beff |
365 | =head2 FOREIGNBUILDARGS |
366 | |
367 | If you are inheriting from a non-Moo class, the arguments passed to the parent |
368 | class constructor can be manipulated by defining a C<FOREIGNBUILDARGS> method. |
416bcb6c |
369 | It will receive the same arguments as C<BUILDARGS>, and should return a list |
76a0beff |
370 | of arguments to pass to the parent class constructor. |
371 | |
2d00f3d6 |
372 | =head2 BUILD |
8146585e |
373 | |
2d00f3d6 |
374 | Define a C<BUILD> method on your class and the constructor will automatically |
375 | call the C<BUILD> method from parent down to child after the object has |
376 | been instantiated. Typically this is used for object validation or possibly |
377 | logging. |
8146585e |
378 | |
2d00f3d6 |
379 | =head2 DEMOLISH |
c2cc003f |
380 | |
debb3fcd |
381 | If you have a C<DEMOLISH> method anywhere in your inheritance hierarchy, |
382 | a C<DESTROY> method is created on first object construction which will call |
c2cc003f |
383 | C<< $instance->DEMOLISH($in_global_destruction) >> for each C<DEMOLISH> |
debb3fcd |
384 | method from child upwards to parents. |
385 | |
386 | Note that the C<DESTROY> method is created on first construction of an object |
387 | of your class in order to not add overhead to classes without C<DEMOLISH> |
388 | methods; this may prove slightly surprising if you try and define your own. |
c2cc003f |
389 | |
8146585e |
390 | =head2 does |
391 | |
392 | if ($foo->does('Some::Role1')) { |
393 | ... |
394 | } |
395 | |
396 | Returns true if the object composes in the passed role. |
397 | |
398 | =head1 IMPORTED SUBROUTINES |
399 | |
400 | =head2 extends |
401 | |
402 | extends 'Parent::Class'; |
403 | |
2e575bcd |
404 | Declares base class. Multiple superclasses can be passed for multiple |
405 | inheritance (but please use roles instead). |
406 | |
407 | Calling extends more than once will REPLACE your superclasses, not add to |
408 | them like 'use base' would. |

422 | |
423 | has attr => ( |
424 | is => 'ro', |
425 | ); |
426 | |
427 | Declares an attribute for the class. |
428 | |
1c9916fa |
429 | package Foo; |
430 | use Moo; |
431 | has 'attr' => ( |
432 | is => 'ro' |
433 | ); |
d56136b9 |
434 | |
1c9916fa |
435 | package Bar; |
436 | use Moo; |
437 | extends 'Foo'; |
d56136b9 |
438 | has '+attr' => ( |
439 | default => sub { "blah" }, |
440 | ); |
441 | |
442 | Using the C<+> notation, it's possible to override an attribute. |
443 | |
8146585e |
444 | The options for C<has> are as follows: |
445 | |
446 | =over 2 |
447 | |
448 | =item * is |
449 | |
6577509a |
450 | B<required>, may be C<ro>, C<lazy>, C<rwp> or C<rw>. |
71db76ce |
451 | |
452 | C<ro> generates an accessor that dies if you attempt to write to it - i.e. |
453 | a getter only - by defaulting C<reader> to the name of the attribute. |
454 | |
71db76ce |
455 | C<lazy> generates a reader like C<ro>, but also sets C<lazy> to 1 and |
456 | C<builder> to C<_build_${attribute_name}> to allow on-demand generated |
457 | attributes. This feature was my attempt to fix my incompetence when |
458 | originally designing C<lazy_build>, and is also implemented by |
876b1e94 |
459 | L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. There is, however, nothing to stop you |
460 | using C<lazy> and C<builder> yourself with C<rwp> or C<rw> - it's just that |
461 | this isn't generally a good idea so we don't provide a shortcut for it. |
71db76ce |
462 | |
463 | C<rwp> generates a reader like C<ro>, but also sets C<writer> to |
464 | C<_set_${attribute_name}> for attributes that are designed to be written |
465 | from inside of the class, but read-only from outside. |
466 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
467 | |
6577509a |
468 | C<rw> generates a normal getter/setter by defaulting C<accessor> to the |
469 | name of the attribute. |
470 | |
8146585e |
471 | =item * isa |
472 | |
52e8f144 |
473 | Takes a coderef which is meant to validate the attribute. Unlike L<Moose>, Moo |
8146585e |
474 | does not include a basic type system, so instead of doing C<< isa => 'Num' >>, |
475 | one should do |
476 | |
c9f73a63 |
477 | isa => sub { |
8146585e |
478 | die "$_[0] is not a number!" unless looks_like_number $_[0] |
479 | }, |
480 | |
9a3fc505 |
481 | Note that the return value is ignored, only whether the sub lives or |
482 | dies matters. |
483 | |
8146585e |
484 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
485 | |
c4074652 |
486 | Since L<Moo> does B<not> run the C<isa> check before C<coerce> if a coercion |
487 | subroutine has been supplied, C<isa> checks are not structural to your code |
488 | and can, if desired, be omitted on non-debug builds (although if this results |
489 | in an uncaught bug causing your program to break, the L<Moo> authors guarantee |
490 | nothing except that you get to keep both halves). |
491 | |
71db76ce |
492 | If you want L<MooseX::Types> style named types, look at |
493 | L<MooX::Types::MooseLike>. |
494 | |
495 | To cause your C<isa> entries to be automatically mapped to named |
496 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> objects (rather than the default behaviour |
497 | of creating an anonymous type), set: |
498 | |
499 | $Moo::HandleMoose::TYPE_MAP{$isa_coderef} = sub { |
500 | require MooseX::Types::Something; |
501 | return MooseX::Types::Something::TypeName(); |
502 | }; |
503 | |
504 | Note that this example is purely illustrative; anything that returns a |
505 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object or something similar enough to it to |
506 | make L<Moose> happy is fine. |
507 | |
8146585e |
508 | =item * coerce |
509 | |
510 | Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the attribute. The basic idea is to |
511 | do something like the following: |
512 | |
c9f73a63 |
513 | coerce => sub { |
8146585e |
514 | $_[0] + 1 unless $_[0] % 2 |
515 | }, |
516 | |
52e8f144 |
517 | Note that L<Moo> will always fire your coercion: this is to permit |
518 | C<isa> entries to be used purely for bug trapping, whereas coercions are |
c4074652 |
519 | always structural to your code. We do, however, apply any supplied C<isa> |
520 | check after the coercion has run to ensure that it returned a valid value. |

524 | =item * handles |
525 | |
526 | Takes a string |
527 | |
69673ca7 |
528 | handles => 'RobotRole' |
529 | |
530 | Where C<RobotRole> is a role (L<Moo::Role>) that defines an interface which |
531 | becomes the list of methods to handle. |
e1efec09 |
532 | |
533 | Takes a list of methods |
534 | |
535 | handles => [ qw( one two ) ] |
536 | |
537 | Takes a hashref |
538 | |
539 | handles => { |

542 | |
cc7ad717 |
543 | =item * C<trigger> |
8146585e |
544 | |
6fe5100d |
545 | Takes a coderef which will get called any time the attribute is set. This |
cc7ad717 |
546 | includes the constructor, but not default or built values. Coderef will be |
547 | invoked against the object with the new value as an argument. |
8146585e |
548 | |
71db76ce |
549 | If you set this to just C<1>, it generates a trigger which calls the |
550 | C<_trigger_${attr_name}> method on C<$self>. This feature comes from |
551 | L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
552 | |
2e575bcd |
553 | Note that Moose also passes the old value, if any; this feature is not yet |
554 | supported. |

8146585e |
556 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
557 | |
52e8f144 |
558 | =item * C<default> |
8146585e |
559 | |
2e575bcd |
560 | Takes a coderef which will get called with $self as its only argument |
561 | to populate an attribute if no value is supplied to the constructor - or |
562 | if the attribute is lazy, when the attribute is first retrieved if no |
563 | value has yet been provided. |
564 | |
0e43f98f |
565 | If a simple scalar is provided, it will be inlined as a string. Any non-code |
566 | reference (hash, array) will result in an error - for that case instead use |
567 | a code reference that returns the desired value. |
568 | |
2e575bcd |
569 | Note that if your default is fired during new() there is no guarantee that |
570 | other attributes have been populated yet so you should not rely on their |
571 | existence. |
8146585e |
572 | |
573 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
574 | |
52e8f144 |
575 | =item * C<predicate> |
8146585e |
576 | |
2e575bcd |
577 | Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has a value. |
8146585e |
578 | |
71db76ce |
579 | If you set this to just C<1>, the predicate is automatically named |
580 | C<has_${attr_name}> if your attribute's name does not start with an |
157aa466 |
581 | underscore, or C<_has_${attr_name_without_the_underscore}> if it does. |
71db76ce |
582 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
583 | |
52e8f144 |
584 | =item * C<builder> |
8146585e |
585 | |
2e575bcd |
586 | Takes a method name which will be called to create the attribute - functions |
587 | exactly like default except that instead of calling |
588 | |
589 | $default->($self); |
590 | |
591 | Moo will call |
592 | |
593 | $self->$builder; |
8146585e |
594 | |
4752c97b |
595 | The following features come from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>: |
596 | |
ba19b6a9 |
597 | If you set this to just C<1>, the builder is automatically named |
4752c97b |
598 | C<_build_${attr_name}>. |
599 | |
600 | If you set this to a coderef or code-convertible object, that variable will be |
601 | installed under C<$class::_build_${attr_name}> and the builder set to the same |
602 | name. |
71db76ce |
603 | |
52e8f144 |
604 | =item * C<clearer> |
8146585e |
605 | |
606 | Takes a method name which will clear the attribute. |
607 | |
71db76ce |
608 | If you set this to just C<1>, the clearer is automatically named |
609 | C<clear_${attr_name}> if your attribute's name does not start with an |
610 | underscore, or <_clear_${attr_name_without_the_underscore}> if it does. |
611 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
612 | |
52e8f144 |
613 | =item * C<lazy> |
8146585e |
614 | |
615 | B<Boolean>. Set this if you want values for the attribute to be grabbed |
616 | lazily. This is usually a good idea if you have a L</builder> which requires |
617 | another attribute to be set. |
618 | |
52e8f144 |
619 | =item * C<required> |
8146585e |
620 | |
621 | B<Boolean>. Set this if the attribute must be passed on instantiation. |
622 | |
52e8f144 |
623 | =item * C<reader> |
1eba910c |
624 | |
625 | The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to get the value of |
626 | the attribute. If you like Java style methods, you might set this to |
627 | C<get_foo> |
628 | |
52e8f144 |
629 | =item * C<writer> |
1eba910c |
630 | |
631 | The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to set the value of |
632 | the attribute. If you like Java style methods, you might set this to |
52e8f144 |
633 | C<set_foo>. |
1eba910c |
634 | |
52e8f144 |
635 | =item * C<weak_ref> |
8146585e |
636 | |
637 | B<Boolean>. Set this if you want the reference that the attribute contains to |
638 | be weakened; use this when circular references are possible, which will cause |
639 | leaks. |
640 | |
52e8f144 |
641 | =item * C<init_arg> |
8146585e |
642 | |
643 | Takes the name of the key to look for at instantiation time of the object. A |
644 | common use of this is to make an underscored attribute have a non-underscored |
645 | initialization name. C<undef> means that passing the value in on instantiation |
71db76ce |
646 | is ignored. |
8146585e |
647 | |
7887ffd0 |
648 | =item * C<moosify> |
649 | |
650 | Takes either a coderef or array of coderefs which is meant to transform the |
651 | given attributes specifications if necessary when upgrading to a Moose role or |
652 | class. You shouldn't need this by default, but is provided as a means of |
653 | possible extensibility. |

678 | =head1 SUB QUOTE AWARE |
679 | |
680 | L<Sub::Quote/quote_sub> allows us to create coderefs that are "inlineable," |
681 | giving us a handy, XS-free speed boost. Any option that is L<Sub::Quote> |
682 | aware can take advantage of this. |
683 | |
c9f73a63 |
684 | To do this, you can write |
685 | |
686 | use Moo; |
687 | use Sub::Quote; |
688 | |
689 | has foo => ( |
3b4a915a |
690 | is => 'ro', |
691 | isa => quote_sub(q{ die "Not <3" unless $_[0] < 3 }) |
c9f73a63 |
692 | ); |
693 | |
694 | which will be inlined as |
695 | |
696 | do { |
697 | local @_ = ($_[0]->{foo}); |
698 | die "Not <3" unless $_[0] < 3; |
699 | } |
700 | |
701 | or to avoid localizing @_, |
702 | |
703 | has foo => ( |
3b4a915a |
704 | is => 'ro', |
705 | isa => quote_sub(q{ my ($val) = @_; die "Not <3" unless $val < 3 }) |
c9f73a63 |
706 | ); |
707 | |
708 | which will be inlined as |
709 | |
710 | do { |
711 | my ($val) = ($_[0]->{foo}); |
712 | die "Not <3" unless $val < 3; |
713 | } |
714 | |
715 | See L<Sub::Quote> for more information, including how to pass lexical |
52e8f144 |
716 | captures that will also be compiled into the subroutine. |

718 | =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH MOOSE |
8146585e |
719 | |
52e8f144 |
720 | There is no built-in type system. C<isa> is verified with a coderef; if you |
8146585e |
721 | need complex types, just make a library of coderefs, or better yet, functions |
5902c1fc |
722 | that return quoted subs. L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> provides a similar API |
723 | to L<MooseX::Types::Moose> so that you can write |
724 | |
725 | has days_to_live => (is => 'ro', isa => Int); |
726 | |
727 | and have it work with both; it is hoped that providing only subrefs as an |
728 | API will encourage the use of other type systems as well, since it's |
729 | probably the weakest part of Moose design-wise. |
8146585e |
730 | |
2e575bcd |
731 | C<initializer> is not supported in core since the author considers it to be a |
0e43f98f |
732 | bad idea and Moose best practices recommend avoiding it. Meanwhile C<trigger> or |
f88623a1 |
733 | C<coerce> are more likely to be able to fulfill your needs. |
8146585e |
734 | |
735 | There is no meta object. If you need this level of complexity you wanted |
2e575bcd |
736 | L<Moose> - Moo succeeds at being small because it explicitly does not |
f9755246 |
737 | provide a metaprotocol. However, if you load L<Moose>, then |
738 | |
739 | Class::MOP::class_of($moo_class_or_role) |
740 | |
741 | will return an appropriate metaclass pre-populated by L<Moo>. |
8146585e |
742 | |
13e41b70 |
743 | No support for C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, or C<augment> - the author |
744 | considers augment to be a bad idea, and override can be translated: |
745 | |
746 | override foo => sub { |
747 | ... |
748 | super(); |
749 | ... |
750 | }; |
751 | |
752 | around foo => sub { |
753 | my ($orig, $self) = (shift, shift); |
754 | ... |
755 | $self->$orig(@_); |
756 | ... |
757 | }; |
8146585e |
758 | |
f2eac33e |
759 | The C<dump> method is not provided by default. The author suggests loading |
c96a6326 |
760 | L<Devel::Dwarn> into C<main::> (via C<perl -MDevel::Dwarn ...> for example) and |
761 | using C<$obj-E<gt>$::Dwarn()> instead. |
762 | |
0e43f98f |
763 | L</default> only supports coderefs and plain scalars, because passing a hash |
764 | or array reference as a default is almost always incorrect since the value is |
765 | then shared between all objects using that default. |
8146585e |
766 | |
f9755246 |
767 | C<lazy_build> is not supported; you are instead encouraged to use the |
52e8f144 |
768 | C<< is => 'lazy' >> option supported by L<Moo> and L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
769 | |
0e43f98f |
770 | C<auto_deref> is not supported since the author considers it a bad idea and |
771 | it has been considered best practice to avoid it for some time. |
8146585e |
772 | |
f9755246 |
773 | C<documentation> will show up in a L<Moose> metaclass created from your class |
c4074652 |
774 | but is otherwise ignored. Then again, L<Moose> ignores it as well, so this |
f9755246 |
775 | is arguably not an incompatibility. |
40f3e3aa |
776 | |
c4074652 |
777 | Since C<coerce> does not require C<isa> to be defined but L<Moose> does |
52e8f144 |
778 | require it, the metaclass inflation for coerce alone is a trifle insane |
c4074652 |
779 | and if you attempt to subtype the result will almost certainly break. |
780 | |
69673ca7 |
781 | Handling of warnings: when you C<use Moo> we enable FATAL warnings. The nearest |
782 | similar invocation for L<Moose> would be: |
783 | |
784 | use Moose; |
785 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
786 | |
787 | Additionally, L<Moo> supports a set of attribute option shortcuts intended to |
788 | reduce common boilerplate. The set of shortcuts is the same as in the L<Moose> |
239d4711 |
789 | module L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts> as of its version 0.009+. So if you: |
69673ca7 |
790 | |
791 | package MyClass; |
792 | use Moo; |
793 | |
794 | The nearest L<Moose> invocation would be: |
795 | |
796 | package MyClass; |
797 | |
798 | use Moose; |
799 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
800 | use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; |
801 | |
5902c1fc |
802 | or, if you're inheriting from a non-Moose class, |
803 | |
804 | package MyClass; |
805 | |
806 | use Moose; |
807 | use MooseX::NonMoose; |
808 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
809 | use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; |
810 | |
811 | Finally, Moose requires you to call |
812 | |
813 | __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; |
814 | |
815 | at the end of your class to get an inlined (i.e. not horribly slow) |
816 | constructor. Moo does it automatically the first time ->new is called |
917f27ca |
817 | on your class. (C<make_immutable> is a no-op in Moo to ease migration.) |
5902c1fc |
818 | |
6ad9aeab |
819 | An extension L<MooX::late> exists to ease translating Moose packages |
820 | to Moo by providing a more Moose-like interface. |
