163 Moose::Role - The Moose Role

173 my ($self, $other) = @_;
174 !$self->equal($other);
177 # ... then in your classes
180 use Moose; # automatically turns on strict and warnings
185 my ($self, $other) = @_;
186 $self->as_float == $other->as_float;
191 Role support in Moose is pretty solid at this point. However, the best
192 documentation is still the the test suite. It is fairly safe to assume Perl 6
193 style behavior and then either refer to the test suite, or ask questions on
194 #moose if something doesn't quite do what you expect.
196 We are planning writing some more documentation in the near future, but nothing
199 =head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
201 Moose::Role currently supports all of the functions that L<Moose> exports, but
202 differs slightly in how some items are handled (see L<CAVEATS> below for
205 Moose::Role also offers two role-specific keyword exports:
209 =item B<requires (@method_names)>
211 Roles can require that certain methods are implemented by any class which
214 =item B<excludes (@role_names)>
216 Roles can C<exclude> other roles, in effect saying "I can never be combined
217 with these C<@role_names>". This is a feature which should not be used
224 Moose::Role offers a way to remove the keywords it exports, through the
225 C<unimport> method. You simply have to say C<no Moose::Role> at the bottom of
226 your code for this to work.
228 =head2 B<< Moose::Role->init_meta(for_class => $role, metaclass => $metaclass) >>
230 The C<init_meta> method sets up the metaclass object for the role
231 specified by C<for_class>. It also injects a a C<meta> accessor into
232 the role so you can get at this object.
234 The default metaclass is L<Moose::Meta::Role>. You can specify an
235 alternate metaclass with the C<metaclass> parameter.
239 Role support has only a few caveats:
245 Roles cannot use the C<extends> keyword; it will throw an exception for now.
246 The same is true of the C<augment> and C<inner> keywords (not sure those
247 really make sense for roles). All other Moose keywords will be I<deferred>
248 so that they can be applied to the consuming class.
252 Role composition does its best to B<not> be order-sensitive when it comes to
253 conflict resolution and requirements detection. However, it is order-sensitive
254 when it comes to method modifiers. All before/around/after modifiers are
255 included whenever a role is composed into a class, and then applied in the order
256 in which the roles are used. This also means that there is no conflict for
257 before/around/after modifiers.
259 In most cases, this will be a non-issue; however, it is something to keep in
260 mind when using method modifiers in a role. You should never assume any
265 The C<requires> keyword currently only works with actual methods. A
266 method modifier (before/around/after and override) will not count as a
267 fulfillment of the requirement.
