=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package MyApp::Mooseish;

  use Moose ();
  use Moose::Exporter;

  Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods(
      with_meta => ['has_table'],
      also      => 'Moose',
  );

  sub init_meta {
      shift;
      return Moose->init_meta( @_, metaclass => 'MyApp::Meta::Class' );
  }

  sub has_table {
      my $meta = shift;
      $meta->table(shift);
  }

  package MyApp::Meta::Class;
  use Moose;

  extends 'Moose::Meta::Class';

  has 'table' => ( is => 'rw' );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This recipe expands on the use of L<Moose::Exporter> we saw in
L<Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1>. Instead of providing our own
object base class, we provide our own metaclass class, and we also
export a C<has_table> sugar function.

Given the above code, you can now replace all instances of C<use
Moose> with C<use MyApp::Mooseish>. Similarly, C<no Moose> is now
replaced with C<no MyApp::Mooseish>.

The C<with_meta> parameter specifies a list of functions that should
be wrapped before exporting. The wrapper simply ensures that the
importing package's appropriate metaclass object is the first argument
to the function, so we can do C<S<my $meta = shift;>>.

See the L<Moose::Exporter> docs for more details on its API.

=head1 USING MyApp::Mooseish

The purpose of all this code is to provide a Moose-like
interface. Here's what it would look like in actual use:

  package MyApp::User;

  use MyApp::Mooseish;

  has_table 'User';

  has 'username' => ( is => 'ro' );
  has 'password' => ( is => 'ro' );

  sub login { ... }

  no MyApp::Mooseish;

All of the normal Moose sugar (C<has()>, C<with()>, etc) is available
when you C<use MyApp::Mooseish>.

=head1 CONCLUSION

Providing sugar functions can make your extension look much more
Moose-ish. See L<Fey::ORM> for a more extensive example.

=begin testing


{
    package MyApp::User;

    MyApp::Mooseish->import;

    has_table( 'User' );

    has( 'username' => ( is => 'ro' ) );
    has( 'password' => ( is => 'ro' ) );

    sub login { }
}

isa_ok( MyApp::User->meta, 'MyApp::Meta::Class' );
is( MyApp::User->meta->table, 'User',
    'MyApp::User->meta->table returns User' );
ok( MyApp::User->can('username'),
    'MyApp::User has username method' );
