6 Moose::Cookbook - How to cook a Moose
10 The Moose cookbook is a series of recipes taken from the Moose
11 test suite. Each recipe presents some code, which demonstrates
12 some of the features of Moose, and then proceeds to explain the
15 We also provide a L<Moose::Cookbook::FAQ> and a L<Moose::Cookbook::WTF>
16 for common questions and problems people have with Moose.
24 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1> - The (always classic) B<Point> example
26 A simple Moose-based class. Demonstrated Moose attributes and subclassing.
28 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe2> - A simple B<BankAccount> example
30 A slightly more complex Moose class. Demonstrates using a method
31 modifier in a subclass.
33 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3> - A lazy B<BinaryTree> example
35 Demonstrates several attribute features, including types, weak
36 references, predicates ("does this object have a foo?"), defaults, and
37 lazy attribute uction.
39 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4> - Subtypes, and modeling a simple B<Company> class hierarchy
41 Introduces the creation and use of custom types, a C<BUILD> method,
42 and the use of C<override> in a subclass.
44 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5> - More subtypes, coercion in a B<Request> class
46 More type examples, including the use of type coercions.
48 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6> - The augment/inner example
50 Demonstrates the use of C<augment> method modifiers, a way of turning
51 the usual method overriding style "inside-out".
53 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe7> - Making Moose fast with immutable
55 Making a class immutable greatly increases the speed of accessors and
58 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe8> - Managing complex relations with trigger (TODO)
62 Work off of this http://code2.0beta.co.uk/moose/svn/Moose/trunk/t/200_examples/007_Child_Parent_attr_inherit.t
64 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9> - Builder methods and lazy_build
66 The builder feature provides an inheritable and role-composable way to
67 provide a default attribute value.
69 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10> - Operator overloading, subtypes, and coercion
71 Demonstrates using operator overloading, coercion, and subtypes to
72 model how eye color is determined during reproduction.
80 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Role::Recipe1> - The Moose::Role example
82 Demonstrates roles, which are also sometimes known as traits or
83 mix-ins. Roles provide a method of code re-use which is orthogonal to
86 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Role::Recipe2> - Advanced Role Composition - method exclusion and aliasing
88 Sometimes you just want to include part of a role in your
89 class. Sometimes you want the whole role but one if its methods
90 conflicts with one in your class. With method exclusion and aliasing,
91 you can work around these problems.
93 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Role::Recipe3> - Runtime Role Composition (TODO)
103 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1> - Welcome to the meta-world (Why Go Meta?)
105 I<abstract goes here>
107 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe2> - A meta-attribute, attributes with labels
109 One way to extend Moose is to provide your own attribute
110 metaclasses. Attribute metaclasses let you extend attribute
111 declarations (with C<has>) and behavior to provide additional
112 attribute functionality.
114 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe3> - Labels implemented via attribute traits
116 Extending Moose's attribute metaclass is a great way to add
117 functionality. However, attributes can only have one metaclass.
118 Applying roles to the attribute metaclass lets you provide
119 composable attribute functionality.
121 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4> - Adding a "table" attribute to the metaclass
123 If you want to store more information about your classes, you'll have
124 to extend C<Moose::Meta::Class>. Doing so is simple, but you'll
125 probably also want to provide some sugar, so see
126 L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6> as well.
128 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5> - The "table" attribute implemented via a metaclass trait
130 I<abstract goes here>
132 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6> - I<meta-instance> (TODO)
134 I<abstract goes here>
136 =head2 Extending Moose
138 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1> - Providing an alternate base object class
140 You may find that you want to provide an alternate base object class
141 along with a meta extension, or maybe you just want to add some
142 functionality to all your classes without typing C<extends
143 'MyApp::Base'> over and over.
145 =item L<Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2> - Acting like Moose.pm and providing sugar Moose-style
147 You'll often find that you want to provide a replacement for
148 C<Moose.pm> as part of a meta extension. This is especially true if
149 you want to write default to your own metaclass or base object class.
