=pod =head1 NAME Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4 - Acting like Moose.pm and providing sugar Moose-style =head1 SYNOPSIS package MyApp::Mooseish; use strict; use warnings; use Moose (); use Moose::Exporter; Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods( with_caller => ['has_table'], also => 'Moose', ); sub init_meta { shift; Moose->init_meta( @_, metaclass => 'MyApp::Meta::Class' ); } sub has_table { my $caller = shift; $caller->meta()->table(shift); } =head1 DESCRIPTION This recipe expands on the use of L we saw in L. Instead of providing our own object base class, we provide our own metaclass class, and we also export a sugar subroutine C. Given the above code, you can now replace all instances of C with C. Similarly, C is now replaced with C. The C parameter specifies a list of functions that should be wrapped before exporting. The wrapper simply ensures that the importing package name is the first argument to the function, so we can do C>. See the L 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, C, etc) is available when you C. =head1 AUTHOR Dave Rolsky Eautarch@urth.orgE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2006-2008 by Infinity Interactive, Inc.
