226 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
227 | |
71bd6a81 |
228 | This module is an extremely light-weight subset of L<Moose> optimised for |
229 | rapid startup and pay for what you use. |
230 | |
8146585e |
231 | It also avoids depending on any XS modules to allow simple deployments. The |
232 | name C<Moo> is based on the idea that it provides almost -but not quite- two |
233 | thirds of L<Moose>. |
234 | |
71bd6a81 |
235 | Unlike C<Mouse> this module does not aim at full compatibility with |
236 | L<Moose>'s surface syntax, preferring instead of provide full interoperability |
237 | via the metaclass inflation capabilites described in L</MOO AND MOOSE>. |
238 | |
239 | For a full list of the minor differences between L<Moose> and L<Moo>'s surface |
240 | syntax, see L</INCOMPATIBILITIES>. |
8146585e |
241 | |
5d5bb71d |
242 | =head1 WHY MOO EXISTS |
243 | |
244 | If you want a full object system with a rich Metaprotocol, L<Moose> is |
245 | already wonderful. |
246 | |
71bd6a81 |
247 | However, sometimes you're writing a command line script or a CGI script |
248 | where fast startup is essential, or code designed to be deployed as a single |
249 | file via L<App::FatPacker>, or you're writing a CPAN module and you want it |
250 | to be usable by people with those constraints. |
251 | |
5d5bb71d |
252 | I've tried several times to use L<Mouse> but it's 3x the size of Moo and |
253 | takes longer to load than most of my Moo based CGI scripts take to run. |
254 | |
255 | If you don't want L<Moose>, you don't want "less metaprotocol" like L<Mouse>, |
256 | you want "as little as possible" - which means "no metaprotocol", which is |
257 | what Moo provides. |
258 | |
71bd6a81 |
259 | Better still, if you install and load L<Moose>, we set up metaclasses for your |
260 | L<Moo> classes and L<Moo::Role> roles, so you can use them in L<Moose> code |
261 | without ever noticing that some of your codebase is using L<Moo>. |
5d5bb71d |
262 | |
263 | Hence - Moo exists as its name - Minimal Object Orientation - with a pledge |
264 | to make it smooth to upgrade to L<Moose> when you need more than minimal |
265 | features. |
266 | |
71bd6a81 |
267 | =head1 MOO AND MOOSE |
1fce5bc9 |
268 | |
269 | If L<Moo> detects L<Moose> being loaded, it will automatically register |
270 | metaclasses for your L<Moo> and L<Moo::Role> packages, so you should be able |
a297a9ab |
271 | to use them in L<Moose> code without anybody ever noticing you aren't using |
1fce5bc9 |
272 | L<Moose> everywhere. |
273 | |
a297a9ab |
274 | Extending a L<Moose> class or consuming a L<Moose::Role> will also work. |
1fce5bc9 |
275 | |
a297a9ab |
276 | So will extending a L<Mouse> class or consuming a L<Mouse::Role> - but note |
277 | that we don't provide L<Mouse> metaclasses or metaroles so the other way |
278 | around doesn't work. This feature exists for L<Any::Moose> users porting to |
279 | L<Moo>, enabling L<Mouse> users to use L<Moo> classes is not a priority for us. |
c100c04c |
280 | |
660f3db2 |
281 | This means that there is no need for anything like L<Any::Moose> for Moo |
c100c04c |
282 | code - Moo and Moose code should simply interoperate without problem. To |
283 | handle L<Mouse> code, you'll likely need an empty Moo role or class consuming |
284 | or extending the L<Mouse> stuff since it doesn't register true L<Moose> |
71bd6a81 |
285 | metaclasses like L<Moo> does. |
286 | |
287 | If you want types to be upgraded to the L<Moose> types, use |
288 | L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> and install the L<MooseX::Types> library to |
289 | match the L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> library you're using - L<Moo> will |
290 | load the L<MooseX::Types> library and use that type for the newly created |
291 | metaclass. |
660f3db2 |
292 | |
1fce5bc9 |
293 | If you need to disable the metaclass creation, add: |
294 | |
295 | no Moo::sification; |
296 | |
297 | to your code before Moose is loaded, but bear in mind that this switch is |
a297a9ab |
298 | currently global and turns the mechanism off entirely so don't put this |
299 | in library code. |

301 | =head1 IMPORTED METHODS |
302 | |
303 | =head2 new |
304 | |
305 | Foo::Bar->new( attr1 => 3 ); |
306 | |
307 | or |
308 | |
309 | Foo::Bar->new({ attr1 => 3 }); |
310 | |
2e575bcd |
311 | =head2 BUILDARGS |
312 | |
f2eac33e |
313 | sub BUILDARGS { |
a17be455 |
314 | my ( $class, @args ) = @_; |
315 | |
316 | unshift @args, "attr1" if @args % 2 == 1; |
317 | |
f2eac33e |
318 | return { @args }; |
a17be455 |
319 | }; |
320 | |
321 | Foo::Bar->new( 3 ); |
322 | |
323 | The default implementation of this method accepts a hash or hash reference of |
324 | named parameters. If it receives a single argument that isn't a hash reference |
325 | it throws an error. |
326 | |
327 | You can override this method in your class to handle other types of options |
328 | passed to the constructor. |
329 | |
330 | This method should always return a hash reference of named options. |
2e575bcd |
331 | |
2d00f3d6 |
332 | =head2 BUILD |
8146585e |
333 | |
2d00f3d6 |
334 | Define a C<BUILD> method on your class and the constructor will automatically |
335 | call the C<BUILD> method from parent down to child after the object has |
336 | been instantiated. Typically this is used for object validation or possibly |
337 | logging. |
8146585e |
338 | |
2d00f3d6 |
339 | =head2 DEMOLISH |
c2cc003f |
340 | |
debb3fcd |
341 | If you have a C<DEMOLISH> method anywhere in your inheritance hierarchy, |
342 | a C<DESTROY> method is created on first object construction which will call |
c2cc003f |
343 | C<< $instance->DEMOLISH($in_global_destruction) >> for each C<DEMOLISH> |
debb3fcd |
344 | method from child upwards to parents. |
345 | |
346 | Note that the C<DESTROY> method is created on first construction of an object |
347 | of your class in order to not add overhead to classes without C<DEMOLISH> |
348 | methods; this may prove slightly surprising if you try and define your own. |
c2cc003f |
349 | |
8146585e |
350 | =head2 does |
351 | |
352 | if ($foo->does('Some::Role1')) { |
353 | ... |
354 | } |
355 | |
356 | Returns true if the object composes in the passed role. |
357 | |
358 | =head1 IMPORTED SUBROUTINES |
359 | |
360 | =head2 extends |
361 | |
362 | extends 'Parent::Class'; |
363 | |
2e575bcd |
364 | Declares base class. Multiple superclasses can be passed for multiple |
365 | inheritance (but please use roles instead). |
366 | |
367 | Calling extends more than once will REPLACE your superclasses, not add to |
368 | them like 'use base' would. |
8146585e |
369 | |
370 | =head2 with |
371 | |
372 | with 'Some::Role1'; |
8146585e |
373 | |
f9755246 |
374 | or |
375 | |
376 | with 'Some::Role1', 'Some::Role2'; |
377 | |
378 | Composes one or more L<Moo::Role> (or L<Role::Tiny>) roles into the current |
379 | class. An error will be raised if these roles have conflicting methods. |
8146585e |
380 | |
381 | =head2 has |
382 | |
383 | has attr => ( |
384 | is => 'ro', |
385 | ); |
386 | |
387 | Declares an attribute for the class. |
388 | |
389 | The options for C<has> are as follows: |
390 | |
391 | =over 2 |
392 | |
393 | =item * is |
394 | |
6577509a |
395 | B<required>, may be C<ro>, C<lazy>, C<rwp> or C<rw>. |
71db76ce |
396 | |
397 | C<ro> generates an accessor that dies if you attempt to write to it - i.e. |
398 | a getter only - by defaulting C<reader> to the name of the attribute. |
399 | |
71db76ce |
400 | C<lazy> generates a reader like C<ro>, but also sets C<lazy> to 1 and |
401 | C<builder> to C<_build_${attribute_name}> to allow on-demand generated |
402 | attributes. This feature was my attempt to fix my incompetence when |
403 | originally designing C<lazy_build>, and is also implemented by |
404 | L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
405 | |
406 | C<rwp> generates a reader like C<ro>, but also sets C<writer> to |
407 | C<_set_${attribute_name}> for attributes that are designed to be written |
408 | from inside of the class, but read-only from outside. |
409 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
410 | |
6577509a |
411 | C<rw> generates a normal getter/setter by defaulting C<accessor> to the |
412 | name of the attribute. |
413 | |
8146585e |
414 | =item * isa |
415 | |
416 | Takes a coderef which is meant to validate the attribute. Unlike L<Moose> Moo |
417 | does not include a basic type system, so instead of doing C<< isa => 'Num' >>, |
418 | one should do |
419 | |
c9f73a63 |
420 | isa => sub { |
8146585e |
421 | die "$_[0] is not a number!" unless looks_like_number $_[0] |
422 | }, |
423 | |
424 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
425 | |
c4074652 |
426 | Since L<Moo> does B<not> run the C<isa> check before C<coerce> if a coercion |
427 | subroutine has been supplied, C<isa> checks are not structural to your code |
428 | and can, if desired, be omitted on non-debug builds (although if this results |
429 | in an uncaught bug causing your program to break, the L<Moo> authors guarantee |
430 | nothing except that you get to keep both halves). |
431 | |
71db76ce |
432 | If you want L<MooseX::Types> style named types, look at |
433 | L<MooX::Types::MooseLike>. |
434 | |
435 | To cause your C<isa> entries to be automatically mapped to named |
436 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> objects (rather than the default behaviour |
437 | of creating an anonymous type), set: |
438 | |
439 | $Moo::HandleMoose::TYPE_MAP{$isa_coderef} = sub { |
440 | require MooseX::Types::Something; |
441 | return MooseX::Types::Something::TypeName(); |
442 | }; |
443 | |
444 | Note that this example is purely illustrative; anything that returns a |
445 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object or something similar enough to it to |
446 | make L<Moose> happy is fine. |
447 | |
8146585e |
448 | =item * coerce |
449 | |
450 | Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the attribute. The basic idea is to |
451 | do something like the following: |
452 | |
c9f73a63 |
453 | coerce => sub { |
8146585e |
454 | $_[0] + 1 unless $_[0] % 2 |
455 | }, |
456 | |
c4074652 |
457 | Note that L<Moo> will always fire your coercion - this is to permit |
458 | isa entries to be used purely for bug trapping, whereas coercions are |
459 | always structural to your code. We do, however, apply any supplied C<isa> |
460 | check after the coercion has run to ensure that it returned a valid value. |

e1efec09 |
464 | =item * handles |
465 | |
466 | Takes a string |
467 | |
69673ca7 |
468 | handles => 'RobotRole' |
469 | |
470 | Where C<RobotRole> is a role (L<Moo::Role>) that defines an interface which |
471 | becomes the list of methods to handle. |
e1efec09 |
472 | |
473 | Takes a list of methods |
474 | |
475 | handles => [ qw( one two ) ] |
476 | |
477 | Takes a hashref |
478 | |
479 | handles => { |
480 | un => 'one', |
481 | } |
482 | |
8146585e |
483 | =item * trigger |
484 | |
6fe5100d |
485 | Takes a coderef which will get called any time the attribute is set. This |
486 | includes the constructor. Coderef will be invoked against the object with the |
487 | new value as an argument. |
8146585e |
488 | |
71db76ce |
489 | If you set this to just C<1>, it generates a trigger which calls the |
490 | C<_trigger_${attr_name}> method on C<$self>. This feature comes from |
491 | L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
492 | |
2e575bcd |
493 | Note that Moose also passes the old value, if any; this feature is not yet |
494 | supported. |
495 | |
8146585e |
496 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
497 | |
498 | =item * default |
499 | |
2e575bcd |
500 | Takes a coderef which will get called with $self as its only argument |
501 | to populate an attribute if no value is supplied to the constructor - or |
502 | if the attribute is lazy, when the attribute is first retrieved if no |
503 | value has yet been provided. |
504 | |
505 | Note that if your default is fired during new() there is no guarantee that |
506 | other attributes have been populated yet so you should not rely on their |
507 | existence. |

509 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
510 | |
511 | =item * predicate |
512 | |
2e575bcd |
513 | Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has a value. |
8146585e |
514 | |
71db76ce |
515 | If you set this to just C<1>, the predicate is automatically named |
516 | C<has_${attr_name}> if your attribute's name does not start with an |
517 | underscore, or <_has_${attr_name_without_the_underscore}> if it does. |
518 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
519 | |
520 | =item * builder |
521 | |
2e575bcd |
522 | Takes a method name which will be called to create the attribute - functions |
523 | exactly like default except that instead of calling |
524 | |
525 | $default->($self); |
526 | |
527 | Moo will call |
528 | |
529 | $self->$builder; |
8146585e |
530 | |
71db76ce |
531 | If you set this to just C<1>, the predicate is automatically named |
532 | C<_build_${attr_name}>. This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
533 | |
8146585e |
534 | =item * clearer |
535 | |
536 | Takes a method name which will clear the attribute. |
537 | |
71db76ce |
538 | If you set this to just C<1>, the clearer is automatically named |
539 | C<clear_${attr_name}> if your attribute's name does not start with an |
540 | underscore, or <_clear_${attr_name_without_the_underscore}> if it does. |
541 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
542 | |
8146585e |
543 | =item * lazy |
544 | |
545 | B<Boolean>. Set this if you want values for the attribute to be grabbed |
546 | lazily. This is usually a good idea if you have a L</builder> which requires |
547 | another attribute to be set. |
548 | |
549 | =item * required |
550 | |
551 | B<Boolean>. Set this if the attribute must be passed on instantiation. |
552 | |
1eba910c |
553 | =item * reader |
554 | |
555 | The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to get the value of |
556 | the attribute. If you like Java style methods, you might set this to |
557 | C<get_foo> |
558 | |
559 | =item * writer |
560 | |
561 | The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to set the value of |
562 | the attribute. If you like Java style methods, you might set this to |
563 | C<set_foo> |
564 | |
8146585e |
565 | =item * weak_ref |
566 | |
567 | B<Boolean>. Set this if you want the reference that the attribute contains to |
568 | be weakened; use this when circular references are possible, which will cause |
569 | leaks. |
570 | |
571 | =item * init_arg |
572 | |
573 | Takes the name of the key to look for at instantiation time of the object. A |
574 | common use of this is to make an underscored attribute have a non-underscored |
575 | initialization name. C<undef> means that passing the value in on instantiation |
71db76ce |
576 | is ignored. |

601 | =head1 SUB QUOTE AWARE |
602 | |
603 | L<Sub::Quote/quote_sub> allows us to create coderefs that are "inlineable," |
604 | giving us a handy, XS-free speed boost. Any option that is L<Sub::Quote> |
605 | aware can take advantage of this. |
606 | |
c9f73a63 |
607 | To do this, you can write |
608 | |
609 | use Moo; |
610 | use Sub::Quote; |
611 | |
612 | has foo => ( |
613 | is => quote_sub(q{ die "Not <3" unless $_[0] < 3 }) |
614 | ); |
615 | |
616 | which will be inlined as |
617 | |
618 | do { |
619 | local @_ = ($_[0]->{foo}); |
620 | die "Not <3" unless $_[0] < 3; |
621 | } |
622 | |
623 | or to avoid localizing @_, |
624 | |
625 | has foo => ( |
626 | is => quote_sub(q{ my ($val) = @_; die "Not <3" unless $val < 3 }) |
627 | ); |
628 | |
629 | which will be inlined as |
630 | |
631 | do { |
632 | my ($val) = ($_[0]->{foo}); |
633 | die "Not <3" unless $val < 3; |
634 | } |
635 | |
636 | See L<Sub::Quote> for more information, including how to pass lexical |
637 | captures that will also be compiled in to the subroutine. |

639 | =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH MOOSE |
8146585e |
640 | |
5902c1fc |
641 | There is no built in type system. C<isa> is verified with a coderef, if you |
8146585e |
642 | need complex types, just make a library of coderefs, or better yet, functions |
5902c1fc |
643 | that return quoted subs. L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> provides a similar API |
644 | to L<MooseX::Types::Moose> so that you can write |
645 | |
646 | has days_to_live => (is => 'ro', isa => Int); |
647 | |
648 | and have it work with both; it is hoped that providing only subrefs as an |
649 | API will encourage the use of other type systems as well, since it's |
650 | probably the weakest part of Moose design-wise. |
8146585e |
651 | |
2e575bcd |
652 | C<initializer> is not supported in core since the author considers it to be a |
f88623a1 |
653 | bad idea but may be supported by an extension in future. Meanwhile C<trigger> or |
654 | C<coerce> are more likely to be able to fulfill your needs. |
8146585e |
655 | |
656 | There is no meta object. If you need this level of complexity you wanted |
2e575bcd |
657 | L<Moose> - Moo succeeds at being small because it explicitly does not |
f9755246 |
658 | provide a metaprotocol. However, if you load L<Moose>, then |
659 | |
660 | Class::MOP::class_of($moo_class_or_role) |
661 | |
662 | will return an appropriate metaclass pre-populated by L<Moo>. |
8146585e |
663 | |
13e41b70 |
664 | No support for C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, or C<augment> - the author |
665 | considers augment to be a bad idea, and override can be translated: |
666 | |
667 | override foo => sub { |
668 | ... |
669 | super(); |
670 | ... |
671 | }; |
672 | |
673 | around foo => sub { |
674 | my ($orig, $self) = (shift, shift); |
675 | ... |
676 | $self->$orig(@_); |
677 | ... |
678 | }; |
8146585e |
679 | |
f2eac33e |
680 | The C<dump> method is not provided by default. The author suggests loading |
c96a6326 |
681 | L<Devel::Dwarn> into C<main::> (via C<perl -MDevel::Dwarn ...> for example) and |
682 | using C<$obj-E<gt>$::Dwarn()> instead. |
683 | |
8146585e |
684 | L</default> only supports coderefs, because doing otherwise is usually a |
685 | mistake anyway. |
686 | |
f9755246 |
687 | C<lazy_build> is not supported; you are instead encouraged to use the |
688 | C<is => 'lazy'> option supported by L<Moo> and L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
689 | |
2e575bcd |
690 | C<auto_deref> is not supported since the author considers it a bad idea. |
8146585e |
691 | |
f9755246 |
692 | C<documentation> will show up in a L<Moose> metaclass created from your class |
c4074652 |
693 | but is otherwise ignored. Then again, L<Moose> ignores it as well, so this |
f9755246 |
694 | is arguably not an incompatibility. |
40f3e3aa |
695 | |
c4074652 |
696 | Since C<coerce> does not require C<isa> to be defined but L<Moose> does |
697 | require it, the metaclass inflation for coerce-alone is a trifle insane |
698 | and if you attempt to subtype the result will almost certainly break. |
699 | |
69673ca7 |
700 | Handling of warnings: when you C<use Moo> we enable FATAL warnings. The nearest |
701 | similar invocation for L<Moose> would be: |
702 | |
703 | use Moose; |
704 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
705 | |
706 | Additionally, L<Moo> supports a set of attribute option shortcuts intended to |
707 | reduce common boilerplate. The set of shortcuts is the same as in the L<Moose> |
239d4711 |
708 | module L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts> as of its version 0.009+. So if you: |
69673ca7 |
709 | |
710 | package MyClass; |
711 | use Moo; |
712 | |
713 | The nearest L<Moose> invocation would be: |
714 | |
715 | package MyClass; |
716 | |
717 | use Moose; |
718 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
719 | use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; |
720 | |
5902c1fc |
721 | or, if you're inheriting from a non-Moose class, |
722 | |
723 | package MyClass; |
724 | |
725 | use Moose; |
726 | use MooseX::NonMoose; |
727 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
728 | use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; |
729 | |
730 | Finally, Moose requires you to call |
731 | |
732 | __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; |
733 | |
734 | at the end of your class to get an inlined (i.e. not horribly slow) |
735 | constructor. Moo does it automatically the first time ->new is called |
736 | on your class. |
