5febcf4d 489=head1 DESCRIPTION
490
491C<Role::Tiny> is a minimalist role composition tool.
492
493=head1 ROLE COMPOSITION
494
495Role composition can be thought of as much more clever and meaningful multiple
496inheritance. The basics of this implementation of roles is:
497
498=over 2
499
500=item *
501
502If a method is already defined on a class, that method will not be composed in
503from the role.
504
505=item *
506
507If a method that the role L</requires> to be implemented is not implemented,
508role application will fail loudly.
509
0d39f9d3 510=back
511
5febcf4d 512Unlike L<Class::C3>, where the B<last> class inherited from "wins," role
836aea1b 513composition is the other way around, where the class wins. If multiple roles
514are applied in a single call (single with statement), then if any of their
515provided methods clash, an exception is raised unless the class provides
516a method since this conflict indicates a potential problem.

5febcf4d 518=head1 IMPORTED SUBROUTINES
519
520=head2 requires
521
522 requires qw(foo bar);
523
524Declares a list of methods that must be defined to compose role.
525
526=head2 with
527
528 with 'Some::Role1';
836aea1b 529
530 with 'Some::Role1', 'Some::Role2';
531
532Composes another role into the current role (or class via L<Role::Tiny::With>).
533
534If you have conflicts and want to resolve them in favour of Some::Role1 you
535can instead write:
536
537 with 'Some::Role1';
5febcf4d 538 with 'Some::Role2';
539
836aea1b 540If you have conflicts and want to resolve different conflicts in favour of
541different roles, please refactor your codebase.

543=head2 before
544
545 before foo => sub { ... };
546
547See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/before method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
548documentation.
549
adcb6c3d 550Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
551L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
552a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
553both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
554
5febcf4d 555=head2 around
556
557 around foo => sub { ... };
558
559See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/around method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
560documentation.
561
adcb6c3d 562Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
563L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
564a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
565both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
566
5febcf4d 567=head2 after
568
569 after foo => sub { ... };
570
571See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/after method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
572documentation.
573
adcb6c3d 574Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
575L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
576a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
577both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
578
26b8d929 579=head2 Strict and Warnings
580
581In addition to importing subroutines, using C<Role::Tiny> applies L<strict> and
582L<fatal warnings|perllexwarn/Fatal Warnings> to the caller. It's possible to
583disable these if desired:
584
585 use Role::Tiny;
586 use warnings NONFATAL => 'all';
587
ec28e16b 588=head1 SUBROUTINES
589
590=head2 does_role
591
592 if (Role::Tiny::does_role($foo, 'Some::Role')) {
593 ...
594 }
595
596Returns true if class has been composed with role.
597
598This subroutine is also installed as ->does on any class a Role::Tiny is
599composed into unless that class already has an ->does method, so
600
601 if ($foo->does('Some::Role')) {
602 ...
603 }
604
fa89d582 605will work for classes but to test a role, one must use ::does_role directly.
606
607Additionally, Role::Tiny will override the standard Perl C<DOES> method
608for your class. However, if C<any> class in your class' inheritance
8159d057 609hierarchy provides C<DOES>, then Role::Tiny will not override it.

611=head1 METHODS
612
613=head2 apply_roles_to_package
614
615 Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_package(
616 'Some::Package', 'Some::Role', 'Some::Other::Role'
617 );
618
619Composes role with package. See also L<Role::Tiny::With>.
620
621=head2 apply_roles_to_object
622
623 Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_object($foo, qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
624
625Composes roles in order into object directly. Object is reblessed into the
626resulting class.
627
628=head2 create_class_with_roles
629
630 Role::Tiny->create_class_with_roles('Some::Base', qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
631
632Creates a new class based on base, with the roles composed into it in order.
633New class is returned.
634
fe2e95b1 635=head2 is_role
636
637 Role::Tiny->is_role('Some::Role1')
638
639Returns true if the given package is a role.
640
adcb6c3d 641=head1 SEE ALSO
642
643L<Role::Tiny> is the attribute-less subset of L<Moo::Role>; L<Moo::Role> is
644a meta-protocol-less subset of the king of role systems, L<Moose::Role>.
645
646If you don't want method modifiers and do want to be forcibly restricted
647to a single role application per class, Ovid's L<Role::Basic> exists. But
259ce3a0 648Stevan Little (the L<Moose> author) and I don't find the additional
649restrictions to be amazingly helpful in most cases; L<Role::Basic>'s choices
650are more a guide to what you should prefer doing, to our mind, rather than
651something that needs to be enforced.
