308 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
309 | |
26fbace8 |
310 | Moose is an extension of the Perl 5 object system. |
e522431d |
311 | |
9b9da6f1 |
312 | The main goal of Moose is to make Perl 5 Object Oriented programming |
edd0727e |
313 | easier, more consistent, and less tedious. With Moose you can think |
6f894f30 |
314 | more about what you want to do and less about the mechanics of OOP. |
fcd84ca9 |
315 | |
6f894f30 |
316 | Additionally, Moose is built on top of L<Class::MOP>, which is a |
317 | metaclass system for Perl 5. This means that Moose not only makes |
318 | building normal Perl 5 objects better, but it provides the power of |
319 | metaclass programming as well. |

321 | =head2 New to Moose? |
322 | |
60eccd1e |
323 | If you're new to Moose, the best place to start is the |
324 | L<Moose::Manual> docs, followed by the L<Moose::Cookbook>. The intro |
325 | will show you what Moose is, and how it makes Perl 5 OO better. |
6f894f30 |
326 | |
327 | The cookbook recipes on Moose basics will get you up to speed with |
328 | many of Moose's features quickly. Once you have an idea of what Moose |
329 | can do, you can use the API documentation to get more detail on |
330 | features which interest you. |

332 | =head2 Moose Extensions |
333 | |
12aed9a0 |
334 | The C<MooseX::> namespace is the official place to find Moose extensions. |
335 | These extensions can be found on the CPAN. The easiest way to find them |
336 | is to search for them (L<http://search.cpan.org/search?query=MooseX::>), |
337 | or to examine L<Task::Moose> which aims to keep an up-to-date, easily |
338 | installable list of Moose extensions. |

355 | =head1 BUILDING CLASSES WITH MOOSE |
356 | |
68efb014 |
357 | Moose makes every attempt to provide as much convenience as possible during |
358 | class construction/definition, but still stay out of your way if you want it |
359 | to. Here are a few items to note when building classes with Moose. |
6ba6d68c |
360 | |
a6ae85e9 |
361 | When you C<use Moose>, Moose will set the class's parent class to |
362 | L<Moose::Object>, I<unless> the class using Moose already has a parent |
363 | class. In addition, specifying a parent with C<extends> will change the parent |
364 | class. |
6ba6d68c |
365 | |
1cd45431 |
366 | Moose will also manage all attributes (including inherited ones) that are |
367 | defined with C<has>. And (assuming you call C<new>, which is inherited from |
368 | L<Moose::Object>) this includes properly initializing all instance slots, |
369 | setting defaults where appropriate, and performing any type constraint checking |
370 | or coercion. |
6ba6d68c |
371 | |
004222dc |
372 | =head1 PROVIDED METHODS |
6ba6d68c |
373 | |
d03bd989 |
374 | Moose provides a number of methods to all your classes, mostly through the |
004222dc |
375 | inheritance of L<Moose::Object>. There is however, one exception. |
6ba6d68c |
376 | |
377 | =over 4 |
378 | |
379 | =item B<meta> |
380 | |
381 | This is a method which provides access to the current class's metaclass. |
382 | |
004222dc |
383 | =back |
384 | |
385 | =head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS |
386 | |
387 | Moose will export a number of functions into the class's namespace which |
388 | may then be used to set up the class. These functions all work directly |
389 | on the current class. |
390 | |
391 | =over 4 |
392 | |
6ba6d68c |
393 | =item B<extends (@superclasses)> |
394 | |
395 | This function will set the superclass(es) for the current class. |
396 | |
26fbace8 |
397 | This approach is recommended instead of C<use base>, because C<use base> |
398 | actually C<push>es onto the class's C<@ISA>, whereas C<extends> will |
399 | replace it. This is important to ensure that classes which do not have |
68efb014 |
400 | superclasses still properly inherit from L<Moose::Object>. |
6ba6d68c |
401 | |
2e7f6cf4 |
402 | Each superclass can be followed by a hash reference with options. Currently, |
403 | only L<-version|Class::MOP/Class Loading Options> is recognized: |
404 | |
405 | extends 'My::Parent' => { -version => 0.01 }, |
406 | 'My::OtherParent' => { -version => 0.03 }; |
407 | |
408 | An exception will be thrown if the version requirements are not |
409 | satisfied. |
410 | |
43d599e5 |
411 | =item B<with (@roles)> |
e9ec68d6 |
412 | |
d03bd989 |
413 | This will apply a given set of C<@roles> to the local class. |
e9ec68d6 |
414 | |
2e7f6cf4 |
415 | Like with C<extends>, each specified role can be followed by a hash |
416 | reference with a L<-version|Class::MOP/Class Loading Options> option: |
417 | |
418 | with 'My::Role' => { -version => 0.32 }, |
419 | 'My::Otherrole' => { -version => 0.23 }; |
420 | |
421 | The specified version requirements must be satisfied, otherwise an |
422 | exception will be thrown. |
423 | |
424 | If your role takes options or arguments, they can be passed along in the |
425 | hash reference as well. |
426 | |
b4291ab4 |
427 | =item B<has $name|@$names =E<gt> %options> |
6ba6d68c |
428 | |
b4291ab4 |
429 | This will install an attribute of a given C<$name> into the current class. If |
430 | the first parameter is an array reference, it will create an attribute for |
a787fa77 |
431 | every C<$name> in the list. The C<%options> will be passed to the constructor |
432 | for L<Moose::Meta::Attribute> (which inherits from L<Class::MOP::Attribute>), |
433 | so the full documentation for the valid options can be found there. These are |
434 | the most commonly used options: |
6ba6d68c |
435 | |
436 | =over 4 |
437 | |
076c81ed |
438 | =item I<is =E<gt> 'rw'|'ro'> |
6ba6d68c |
439 | |
26fbace8 |
440 | The I<is> option accepts either I<rw> (for read/write) or I<ro> (for read |
441 | only). These will create either a read/write accessor or a read-only |
6ba6d68c |
442 | accessor respectively, using the same name as the C<$name> of the attribute. |
443 | |
1b46b845 |
444 | If you need more control over how your accessors are named, you can |
445 | use the L<reader|Class::MOP::Attribute/reader>, |
446 | L<writer|Class::MOP::Attribute/writer> and |
447 | L<accessor|Class::MOP::Attribute/accessor> options inherited from |
448 | L<Class::MOP::Attribute>, however if you use those, you won't need the |
449 | I<is> option. |
6ba6d68c |
450 | |
076c81ed |
451 | =item I<isa =E<gt> $type_name> |
6ba6d68c |
452 | |
26fbace8 |
453 | The I<isa> option uses Moose's type constraint facilities to set up runtime |
454 | type checking for this attribute. Moose will perform the checks during class |
455 | construction, and within any accessors. The C<$type_name> argument must be a |
456 | string. The string may be either a class name or a type defined using |
9cca2e9e |
457 | Moose's type definition features. (Refer to L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints> |
c2a69ef1 |
458 | for information on how to define a new type, and how to retrieve type meta-data). |
6ba6d68c |
459 | |
daea75c9 |
460 | =item I<coerce =E<gt> (1|0)> |
461 | |
26fbace8 |
462 | This will attempt to use coercion with the supplied type constraint to change |
2e953f12 |
463 | the value passed into any accessors or constructors. You B<must> supply a type |
ebd95638 |
464 | constraint, and that type constraint B<must> define a coercion. See |
e5a728d9 |
465 | L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::HTTP_SubtypesAndCoercion> for an example. |
daea75c9 |
466 | |
467 | =item I<does =E<gt> $role_name> |
468 | |
26fbace8 |
469 | This will accept the name of a role which the value stored in this attribute |
daea75c9 |
470 | is expected to have consumed. |
471 | |
472 | =item I<required =E<gt> (1|0)> |
473 | |
81bec8f8 |
474 | This marks the attribute as being required. This means a value must be |
be1355c0 |
475 | supplied during class construction, I<or> the attribute must be lazy |
476 | and have either a default or a builder. Note that c<required> does not |
477 | say anything about the attribute's value, which can be C<undef>. |
daea75c9 |
478 | |
479 | =item I<weak_ref =E<gt> (1|0)> |
480 | |
68efb014 |
481 | This will tell the class to store the value of this attribute as a weakened |
482 | reference. If an attribute is a weakened reference, it B<cannot> also be |
92c5fea0 |
483 | coerced. Note that when a weak ref expires, the attribute's value becomes |
484 | undefined, and is still considered to be set for purposes of predicate, |
485 | default, etc. |
daea75c9 |
486 | |
487 | =item I<lazy =E<gt> (1|0)> |
488 | |
26fbace8 |
489 | This will tell the class to not create this slot until absolutely necessary. |
3cccbf66 |
490 | If an attribute is marked as lazy it B<must> have a default or builder |
491 | supplied. |

65e14c86 |
493 | =item I<trigger =E<gt> $code> |
494 | |
525129a5 |
495 | The I<trigger> option is a CODE reference which will be called after |
c25ca3a6 |
496 | the value of the attribute is set. The CODE ref is passed the |
edd0727e |
497 | instance itself, the updated value, and the original value if the |
c25ca3a6 |
498 | attribute was already set. |
3dda07f5 |
499 | |
500 | You B<can> have a trigger on a read-only attribute. |
010997ca |
501 | |
502 | B<NOTE:> Triggers will only fire when you B<assign> to the attribute, |
503 | either in the constructor, or using the writer. Default and built values will |
504 | B<not> cause the trigger to be fired. |

506 | =item I<handles =E<gt> ARRAY | HASH | REGEXP | ROLE | ROLETYPE | DUCKTYPE | CODE> |
2c0cbef7 |
507 | |
26fbace8 |
508 | The I<handles> option provides Moose classes with automated delegation features. |
509 | This is a pretty complex and powerful option. It accepts many different option |
510 | formats, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. |
38e3283b |
511 | |
1cd45431 |
512 | B<NOTE:> The class being delegated to does not need to be a Moose based class, |
513 | which is why this feature is especially useful when wrapping non-Moose classes. |
38e3283b |
514 | |
1cd45431 |
515 | All I<handles> option formats share the following traits: |
38e3283b |
516 | |
1cd45431 |
517 | You cannot override a locally defined method with a delegated method; an |
518 | exception will be thrown if you try. That is to say, if you define C<foo> in |
519 | your class, you cannot override it with a delegated C<foo>. This is almost never |
520 | something you would want to do, and if it is, you should do it by hand and not |
521 | use Moose. |
38e3283b |
522 | |
1cd45431 |
523 | You cannot override any of the methods found in Moose::Object, or the C<BUILD> |
524 | and C<DEMOLISH> methods. These will not throw an exception, but will silently |
525 | move on to the next method in the list. My reasoning for this is that you would |
526 | almost never want to do this, since it usually breaks your class. As with |
527 | overriding locally defined methods, if you do want to do this, you should do it |
528 | manually, not with Moose. |
38e3283b |
529 | |
d03bd989 |
530 | You do not I<need> to have a reader (or accessor) for the attribute in order |
531 | to delegate to it. Moose will create a means of accessing the value for you, |
532 | however this will be several times B<less> efficient then if you had given |
f3c4e20e |
533 | the attribute a reader (or accessor) to use. |
534 | |
38e3283b |
535 | Below is the documentation for each option format: |
536 | |
537 | =over 4 |
538 | |
539 | =item C<ARRAY> |
540 | |
26fbace8 |
541 | This is the most common usage for I<handles>. You basically pass a list of |
542 | method names to be delegated, and Moose will install a delegation method |
1cd45431 |
543 | for each one. |
38e3283b |
544 | |
545 | =item C<HASH> |
546 | |
26fbace8 |
547 | This is the second most common usage for I<handles>. Instead of a list of |
548 | method names, you pass a HASH ref where each key is the method name you |
549 | want installed locally, and its value is the name of the original method |
550 | in the class being delegated to. |
fd595040 |
551 | |
26fbace8 |
552 | This can be very useful for recursive classes like trees. Here is a |
5cfe3805 |
553 | quick example (soon to be expanded into a Moose::Cookbook recipe): |
38e3283b |
554 | |
1cd45431 |
555 | package Tree; |
38e3283b |
556 | use Moose; |
26fbace8 |
557 | |
38e3283b |
558 | has 'node' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Any'); |
26fbace8 |
559 | |
38e3283b |
560 | has 'children' => ( |
561 | is => 'ro', |
562 | isa => 'ArrayRef', |
563 | default => sub { [] } |
564 | ); |
26fbace8 |
565 | |
38e3283b |
566 | has 'parent' => ( |
567 | is => 'rw', |
568 | isa => 'Tree', |
edd0727e |
569 | weak_ref => 1, |
38e3283b |
570 | handles => { |
571 | parent_node => 'node', |
26fbace8 |
572 | siblings => 'children', |
38e3283b |
573 | } |
574 | ); |
575 | |
1cd45431 |
576 | In this example, the Tree package gets C<parent_node> and C<siblings> methods, |
577 | which delegate to the C<node> and C<children> methods (respectively) of the Tree |
26fbace8 |
578 | instance stored in the C<parent> slot. |
38e3283b |
579 | |
9218b114 |
580 | You may also use an array reference to curry arguments to the original method. |
581 | |
582 | has 'thing' => ( |
583 | ... |
3c573ca4 |
584 | handles => { set_foo => [ set => 'foo' ] }, |
9218b114 |
585 | ); |
586 | |
587 | # $self->set_foo(...) calls $self->thing->set('foo', ...) |
588 | |
589 | The first element of the array reference is the original method name, and the |
3c573ca4 |
590 | rest is a list of curried arguments. |
9218b114 |
591 | |
38e3283b |
592 | =item C<REGEXP> |
593 | |
26fbace8 |
594 | The regexp option works very similar to the ARRAY option, except that it builds |
595 | the list of methods for you. It starts by collecting all possible methods of the |
596 | class being delegated to, then filters that list using the regexp supplied here. |
38e3283b |
597 | |
26fbace8 |
598 | B<NOTE:> An I<isa> option is required when using the regexp option format. This |
599 | is so that we can determine (at compile time) the method list from the class. |
38e3283b |
600 | Without an I<isa> this is just not possible. |
601 | |
c7761602 |
602 | =item C<ROLE> or C<ROLETYPE> |
c84f324f |
603 | |
c7761602 |
604 | With the role option, you specify the name of a role or a |
605 | L<role type|Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role> whose "interface" then becomes |
606 | the list of methods to handle. The "interface" can be defined as; the methods |
607 | of the role and any required methods of the role. It should be noted that this |
608 | does B<not> include any method modifiers or generated attribute methods (which |
609 | is consistent with role composition). |
c84f324f |
610 | |
e3de240e |
611 | =item C<DUCKTYPE> |
612 | |
a6d8545f |
613 | With the duck type option, you pass a duck type object whose "interface" then |
edd0727e |
614 | becomes the list of methods to handle. The "interface" can be defined as the |
a6d8545f |
615 | list of methods passed to C<duck_type> to create a duck type object. For more |
616 | information on C<duck_type> please check |
e9c2746e |
617 | L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints>. |
e3de240e |
618 | |
38e3283b |
619 | =item C<CODE> |
620 | |
1cd45431 |
621 | This is the option to use when you really want to do something funky. You should |
622 | only use it if you really know what you are doing, as it involves manual |
623 | metaclass twiddling. |
38e3283b |
624 | |
1cd45431 |
625 | This takes a code reference, which should expect two arguments. The first is the |
626 | attribute meta-object this I<handles> is attached to. The second is the |
627 | metaclass of the class being delegated to. It expects you to return a hash (not |
26fbace8 |
628 | a HASH ref) of the methods you want mapped. |

004222dc |
632 | =item I<traits =E<gt> [ @role_names ]> |
633 | |
d03bd989 |
634 | This tells Moose to take the list of C<@role_names> and apply them to the |
ce754513 |
635 | attribute meta-object. Custom attribute metaclass traits are useful for |
636 | extending the capabilities of the I<has> keyword: they are the simplest way to |
637 | extend the MOP, but they are still a fairly advanced topic and too much to |
638 | cover here. |

647 | |
53a1e093 |
648 | The value of this key is the name of the method that will be called to obtain |
649 | the value used to initialize the attribute. See the L<builder option docs in |
650 | Class::MOP::Attribute|Class::MOP::Attribute/builder> and/or |

019f031d |
654 | =item I<default> => SCALAR | CODE |
010997ca |
655 | |
656 | The value of this key is the default value which will initialize the attribute. |
657 | |
1b46b845 |
658 | NOTE: If the value is a simple scalar (string or number), then it can |
659 | be just passed as is. However, if you wish to initialize it with a |
660 | HASH or ARRAY ref, then you need to wrap that inside a CODE reference. |
661 | See the L<default option docs in |
662 | Class::MOP::Attribute|Class::MOP::Attribute/default> for more |
663 | information. |

019f031d |
665 | =item I<clearer> => Str |
010997ca |

edd0727e |
674 | attribute. See the L<predicate option docs in |
afd72e0c |
675 | Class::MOP::Attribute|Class::MOP::Attribute/predicate> for more information. |

689 | =item B<has +$name =E<gt> %options> |
690 | |
c7874946 |
691 | This is variation on the normal attribute creator C<has> which allows you to |
d03bd989 |
692 | clone and extend an attribute from a superclass or from a role. Here is an |
8d62bf6d |
693 | example of the superclass usage: |
cd7eeaf5 |
694 | |
695 | package Foo; |
696 | use Moose; |
26fbace8 |
697 | |
cd7eeaf5 |
698 | has 'message' => ( |
26fbace8 |
699 | is => 'rw', |
cd7eeaf5 |
700 | isa => 'Str', |
701 | default => 'Hello, I am a Foo' |
702 | ); |
26fbace8 |
703 | |
cd7eeaf5 |
704 | package My::Foo; |
705 | use Moose; |
26fbace8 |
706 | |
cd7eeaf5 |
707 | extends 'Foo'; |
26fbace8 |
708 | |
cd7eeaf5 |
709 | has '+message' => (default => 'Hello I am My::Foo'); |
710 | |
1cd45431 |
711 | What is happening here is that B<My::Foo> is cloning the C<message> attribute |
712 | from its parent class B<Foo>, retaining the C<is =E<gt> 'rw'> and C<isa =E<gt> |
713 | 'Str'> characteristics, but changing the value in C<default>. |
cd7eeaf5 |
714 | |
8d62bf6d |
715 | Here is another example, but within the context of a role: |
716 | |
717 | package Foo::Role; |
718 | use Moose::Role; |
986d175a |
719 | |
8d62bf6d |
720 | has 'message' => ( |
721 | is => 'rw', |
722 | isa => 'Str', |
723 | default => 'Hello, I am a Foo' |
724 | ); |
986d175a |
725 | |
8d62bf6d |
726 | package My::Foo; |
727 | use Moose; |
986d175a |
728 | |
8d62bf6d |
729 | with 'Foo::Role'; |
986d175a |
730 | |
8d62bf6d |
731 | has '+message' => (default => 'Hello I am My::Foo'); |
732 | |
d03bd989 |
733 | In this case, we are basically taking the attribute which the role supplied |
734 | and altering it within the bounds of this feature. |
8d62bf6d |
735 | |
73f70bdf |
736 | Note that you can only extend an attribute from either a superclass or a role, |
737 | you cannot extend an attribute in a role that composes over an attribute from |
738 | another role. |
739 | |
d03bd989 |
740 | Aside from where the attributes come from (one from superclass, the other |
741 | from a role), this feature works exactly the same. This feature is restricted |
c3abd3f1 |
742 | somewhat, so as to try and force at least I<some> sanity into it. Most options work the same, but there are some exceptions: |
cd7eeaf5 |
743 | |
744 | =over 4 |
745 | |
c3abd3f1 |
746 | =item I<reader> |
cd7eeaf5 |

753 | |
c3abd3f1 |
754 | =item I<predicate> |
cd7eeaf5 |
755 | |
c3abd3f1 |
756 | These options can be added, but cannot override a superclass definition. |
13284479 |
757 | |
758 | =item I<traits> |
759 | |
760 | You are allowed to B<add> additional traits to the C<traits> definition. |
6549b0d1 |
761 | These traits will be composed into the attribute, but preexisting traits |
13284479 |
762 | B<are not> overridden, or removed. |
763 | |
cd7eeaf5 |
764 | =back |

778 | |
26fbace8 |
779 | An C<override> method is a way of explicitly saying "I am overriding this |
780 | method from my superclass". You can call C<super> within this method, and |
781 | it will work as expected. The same thing I<can> be accomplished with a normal |
782 | method call and the C<SUPER::> pseudo-package; it is really your choice. |

786 | The keyword C<super> is a no-op when called outside of an C<override> method. In |
787 | the context of an C<override> method, it will call the next most appropriate |
788 | superclass method with the same arguments as the original method. |

792 | An C<augment> method, is a way of explicitly saying "I am augmenting this |
793 | method from my superclass". Once again, the details of how C<inner> and |

799 | The keyword C<inner>, much like C<super>, is a no-op outside of the context of |
800 | an C<augment> method. You can think of C<inner> as being the inverse of |
801 | C<super>; the details of how C<inner> and C<augment> work is best described in |
174418c2 |

819 | When you use Moose, you can specify traits which will be applied to your |
820 | metaclass: |
54f2996d |
821 | |
822 | use Moose -traits => 'My::Trait'; |
823 | |
824 | This is very similar to the attribute traits feature. When you do |
825 | this, your class's C<meta> object will have the specified traits |
8a8856de |
826 | applied to it. See L<Metaclass and Trait Name Resolution> for more |
827 | details. |
54f2996d |
828 | |
8a8856de |
829 | =head2 Metaclass and Trait Name Resolution |
54f2996d |
830 | |
831 | By default, when given a trait name, Moose simply tries to load a |
832 | class of the same name. If such a class does not exist, it then looks |
833 | for for a class matching |
834 | B<Moose::Meta::$type::Custom::Trait::$trait_name>. The C<$type> |
835 | variable here will be one of B<Attribute> or B<Class>, depending on |
836 | what the trait is being applied to. |
837 | |
838 | If a class with this long name exists, Moose checks to see if it has |
839 | the method C<register_implementation>. This method is expected to |
840 | return the I<real> class name of the trait. If there is no |
841 | C<register_implementation> method, it will fall back to using |
842 | B<Moose::Meta::$type::Custom::Trait::$trait> as the trait name. |
843 | |
8a8856de |
844 | The lookup method for metaclasses is the same, except that it looks |
845 | for a class matching B<Moose::Meta::$type::Custom::$metaclass_name>. |
846 | |
54f2996d |
847 | If all this is confusing, take a look at |
b1301316 |
848 | L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Labeled_AttributeTrait>, which demonstrates how to |
849 | create an attribute trait. |

31f8ec72 |
852 | |
853 | =head2 B<unimport> |
854 | |
1cd45431 |
855 | Moose offers a way to remove the keywords it exports, through the C<unimport> |
31f8ec72 |
856 | method. You simply have to say C<no Moose> at the bottom of your code for this |
857 | to work. Here is an example: |
858 | |
859 | package Person; |
860 | use Moose; |
861 | |
862 | has 'first_name' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Str'); |
863 | has 'last_name' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Str'); |
26fbace8 |
864 | |
865 | sub full_name { |
31f8ec72 |
866 | my $self = shift; |
26fbace8 |
867 | $self->first_name . ' ' . $self->last_name |
31f8ec72 |
868 | } |
26fbace8 |
869 | |
870 | no Moose; # keywords are removed from the Person package |

872 | =head1 EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE |
873 | |
5e86efbe |
874 | To learn more about extending Moose, we recommend checking out the |
875 | "Extending" recipes in the L<Moose::Cookbook>, starting with |
3b788714 |
876 | L<Moose::Cookbook::Extending::ExtensionOverview>, which provides an overview of |
a661cd1d |
877 | all the different ways you might extend Moose. L<Moose::Exporter> and |
878 | L<Moose::Util::MetaRole> are the modules which provide the majority of the |
879 | extension functionality, so reading their documentation should also be helpful. |

881 | =head2 The MooseX:: namespace |
882 | |
883 | Generally if you're writing an extension I<for> Moose itself you'll want |
884 | to put your extension in the C<MooseX::> namespace. This namespace is |
885 | specifically for extensions that make Moose better or different in some |
886 | fundamental way. It is traditionally B<not> for a package that just happens |
887 | to use Moose. This namespace follows from the examples of the C<LWPx::> |
888 | and C<DBIx::> namespaces that perform the same function for C<LWP> and C<DBI> |
889 | respectively. |
890 | |

891 | =head1 METACLASS COMPATIBILITY AND MOOSE |
892 | |
893 | Metaclass compatibility is a thorny subject. You should start by |
894 | reading the "About Metaclass compatibility" section in the |
895 | C<Class::MOP> docs. |
896 | |
897 | Moose will attempt to resolve a few cases of metaclass incompatibility |
b9216044 |
898 | when you set the superclasses for a class, in addition to the cases that |
899 | C<Class::MOP> handles. |
900 | |
901 | Moose tries to determine if the metaclasses only "differ by roles". This |
902 | means that the parent and child's metaclass share a common ancestor in |
903 | their respective hierarchies, and that the subclasses under the common |
904 | ancestor are only different because of role applications. This case is |
905 | actually fairly common when you mix and match various C<MooseX::*> |
906 | modules, many of which apply roles to the metaclass. |
6ea5491a |
907 | |
908 | If the parent and child do differ by roles, Moose replaces the |
909 | metaclass in the child with a newly created metaclass. This metaclass |
edd0727e |
910 | is a subclass of the parent's metaclass which does all of the roles that |
6ea5491a |
911 | the child's metaclass did before being replaced. Effectively, this |
912 | means the new metaclass does all of the roles done by both the |
913 | parent's and child's original metaclasses. |
914 | |
915 | Ultimately, this is all transparent to you except in the case of an |
916 | unresolvable conflict. |

923 | |
1cd45431 |
924 | It should be noted that C<super> and C<inner> B<cannot> be used in the same |
925 | method. However, they may be combined within the same class hierarchy; see |
2c739d1a |
926 | F<t/basics/override_augment_inner_super.t> for an example. |
05d9eaf6 |
927 | |
26fbace8 |
928 | The reason for this is that C<super> is only valid within a method |
929 | with the C<override> modifier, and C<inner> will never be valid within an |
930 | C<override> method. In fact, C<augment> will skip over any C<override> methods |
68efb014 |
931 | when searching for its appropriate C<inner>. |
05d9eaf6 |
932 | |
1cd45431 |
933 | This might seem like a restriction, but I am of the opinion that keeping these |
934 | two features separate (yet interoperable) actually makes them easy to use, since |
935 | their behavior is then easier to predict. Time will tell whether I am right or |
c84f324f |
936 | not (UPDATE: so far so good). |

1045 | |
1046 | That said, occasionally there is a feature needed in the meta-system |
1047 | to support your planned extension, in which case you should either |
