273 This is an early release of this module, it still needs

276 so keep an eye on your favorite CPAN mirror!
280 Moose is an extension of the Perl 5 object system.
282 =head2 Another object system!?!?
284 Yes, I know there has been an explosion recently of new ways to
285 build object's in Perl 5, most of them based on inside-out objects,
286 and other such things. Moose is different because it is not a new
287 object system for Perl 5, but instead an extension of the existing
290 Moose is built on top of L<Class::MOP>, which is a metaclass system
291 for Perl 5. This means that Moose not only makes building normal
292 Perl 5 objects better, but it also provides the power of metaclass
295 =head2 What does Moose stand for??
297 Moose doesn't stand for one thing in particular, however, if you
298 want, here are a few of my favorites, feel free to contribute
303 =item Make Other Object Systems Envious
305 =item Makes Object Orientation So Easy
307 =item Makes Object Orientation Spiffy- Er (sorry ingy)
309 =item Most Other Object Systems Emasculate
311 =item My Overcraft Overfilled (with) Some Eels
313 =item Moose Often Ovulate Sorta Early
315 =item Many Overloaded Object Systems Exists
317 =item Moose Offers Often Super Extensions
319 =item Meta Object Orientation Syntax Extensions
323 =head1 BUILDING CLASSES WITH MOOSE
325 Moose makes every attempt to provide as much convience during class
326 construction/definition, but still stay out of your way if you want
327 it to. Here are some of the features Moose provides:
329 Unless specified with C<extends>, any class which uses Moose will
330 inherit from L<Moose::Object>.
332 Moose will also manage all attributes (including inherited ones) that
333 are defined with C<has>. And assuming that you call C<new> which is
334 inherited from L<Moose::Object>, then this includes properly initializing
335 all instance slots, setting defaults where approprtiate and performing any
336 type constraint checking or coercion.
338 For more details, see the ever expanding L<Moose::Cookbook>.
340 =head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
342 Moose will export a number of functions into the class's namespace, which
343 can then be used to set up the class. These functions all work directly
344 on the current class.
350 This is a method which provides access to the current class's metaclass.
352 =item B<extends (@superclasses)>
354 This function will set the superclass(es) for the current class.
356 This approach is recommended instead of C<use base>, because C<use base>
357 actually C<push>es onto the class's C<@ISA>, whereas C<extends> will
358 replace it. This is important to ensure that classes which do not have
359 superclasses properly inherit from L<Moose::Object>.
361 =item B<with ($role)>
363 This will apply a given C<$role> to the local class. Role support is
364 currently very experimental, see L<Moose::Role> for more details.
366 =item B<has ($name, %options)>
368 This will install an attribute of a given C<$name> into the current class.
369 The list of C<%options> are the same as those provided by both
370 L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>, in addition to a
371 few convience ones provided by Moose which are listed below:
375 =item I<is =E<gt> 'rw'|'ro'>
377 The I<is> option accepts either I<rw> (for read/write) or I<ro> (for read
378 only). These will create either a read/write accessor or a read-only
379 accessor respectively, using the same name as the C<$name> of the attribute.
381 If you need more control over how your accessors are named, you can use the
382 I<reader>, I<writer> and I<accessor> options inherited from L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>.
384 =item I<isa =E<gt> $type_name>
386 The I<isa> option uses Moose's type constraint facilities to set up runtime
387 type checking for this attribute. Moose will perform the checks during class
388 construction, and within any accessors. The C<$type_name> argument must be a
389 string. The string can be either a class name, or a type defined using
390 Moose's type defintion features.
392 =item I<coerce =E<gt> (1|0)>
394 This will attempt to use coercion with the supplied type constraint to change
395 the value passed into any accessors of constructors. You B<must> have supplied
396 a type constraint in order for this to work. See L<Moose::Cookbook::Recipe5>
397 for an example usage.
399 =item I<does =E<gt> $role_name>
401 This will accept the name of a role which the value stored in this attribute
402 is expected to have consumed.
404 =item I<required =E<gt> (1|0)>
406 This marks the attribute as being required. This means a value must be supplied
407 during class construction, and the attribute can never be set to C<undef> with
410 =item I<weak_ref =E<gt> (1|0)>
412 This will tell the class to strore the value of this attribute as a weakened
413 reference. If an attribute is a weakened reference, it can B<not> also be coerced.
415 =item I<lazy =E<gt> (1|0)>
417 This will tell the class to not create this slot until absolutely nessecary.
418 If an attribute is marked as lazy it B<must> have a default supplied.
420 =item I<trigger =E<gt> $code>
422 The trigger option is a CODE reference which will be called after the value of
423 the attribute is set. The CODE ref will be passed the instance itself, the
424 updated value and the attribute meta-object (this is for more advanced fiddling
425 and can typically be ignored in most cases). You can B<not> have a trigger on
426 a read-only attribute.
430 =item B<before $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>
432 =item B<after $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>
434 =item B<around $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>
436 This three items are syntactic sugar for the before, after and around method
437 modifier features that L<Class::MOP> provides. More information on these can
438 be found in the L<Class::MOP> documentation for now.
442 The keyword C<super> is a noop when called outside of an C<override> method. In
443 the context of an C<override> method, it will call the next most appropriate
444 superclass method with the same arguments as the original method.
446 =item B<override ($name, &sub)>
448 An C<override> method, is a way of explictly saying "I am overriding this
449 method from my superclass". You can call C<super> within this method, and
450 it will work as expected. The same thing I<can> be accomplished with a normal
451 method call and the C<SUPER::> pseudo-package, it is really your choice.
455 The keyword C<inner>, much like C<super>, is a no-op outside of the context of
456 an C<augment> method. You can think of C<inner> as being the inverse of
457 C<super>, the details of how C<inner> and C<augment> work is best described in
458 the L<Moose::Cookbook>.
460 =item B<augment ($name, &sub)>
462 An C<augment> method, is a way of explictly saying "I am augmenting this
463 method from my superclass". Once again, the details of how C<inner> and
464 C<augment> work is best described in the L<Moose::Cookbook>.
468 This is the C<Carp::confess> function, and exported here beause I use it
469 all the time. This feature may change in the future, so you have been warned.
473 This is the C<Scalar::Uti::blessed> function, it is exported here beause I
474 use it all the time. It is highly recommended that this is used instead of
475 C<ref> anywhere you need to test for an object's class name.
485 It should be noted that C<super> and C<inner> can B<not> be used in the same
486 method. However, they can be combined together with the same class hierarchy,
487 see F<t/014_override_augment_inner_super.t> for an example.
489 The reason that this is so is because C<super> is only valid within a method
490 with the C<override> modifier, and C<inner> will never be valid within an
491 C<override> method. In fact, C<augment> will skip over any C<override> methods
492 when searching for it's appropriate C<inner>.
494 This might seem like a restriction, but I am of the opinion that keeping these
495 two features seperate (but interoperable) actually makes them easy to use since
496 their behavior is then easier to predict. Time will tell if I am right or not.
500 =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
504 =item I blame Sam Vilain for introducing me to the insanity that is meta-models.
506 =item I blame Audrey Tang for then encouraging my meta-model habit in #perl6.
508 =item Without Yuval "nothingmuch" Kogman this module would not be possible,
509 and it certainly wouldn't have this name ;P
511 =item The basis of the TypeContraints module was Rob Kinyon's idea
512 originally, I just ran with it.
514 =item Thanks to mst & chansen and the whole #moose poose for all the
515 ideas/feature-requests/encouragement
523 =item L<Class::MOP> documentation
525 =item The #moose channel on irc.perl.org
527 =item L<http://forum2.org/moose/>
529 =item L<http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/publications/oopsla04-gff.pdf>
531 This paper (suggested by lbr on #moose) was what lead to the implementation
532 of the C<super>/C<overrride> and C<inner>/C<augment> features. If you really
533 want to understand this feature, I suggest you read this.
539 All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
540 exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
