=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is an extremely light-weight, high-performance L<Moose> replacement.
It also avoids depending on any XS modules to allow simple deployments.  The
name C<Moo> is based on the idea that it provides almost -but not quite- two
thirds of L<Moose>.

Unlike C<Mouse> this module does not aim at full L<Moose> compatibility.  See
L</INCOMPATIBILITIES> for more details.

=head1 WHY MOO EXISTS

If you want a full object system with a rich Metaprotocol, L<Moose> is
already wonderful.

I've tried several times to use L<Mouse> but it's 3x the size of Moo and
takes longer to load than most of my Moo based CGI scripts take to run.

If you don't want L<Moose>, you don't want "less metaprotocol" like L<Mouse>,
you want "as little as possible" - which means "no metaprotocol", which is
what Moo provides.

By Moo 1.0 I intend to have Moo's equivalent of L<Any::Moose> built in -
if Moose gets loaded, any Moo class or role will act as a Moose equivalent
if treated as such.

Hence - Moo exists as its name - Minimal Object Orientation - with a pledge
to make it smooth to upgrade to L<Moose> when you need more than minimal
features.

=head1 IMPORTED METHODS

=head2 new

 Foo::Bar->new( attr1 => 3 );

or

 Foo::Bar->new({ attr1 => 3 });

=head2 BUILDARGS

 around BUILDARGS => sub {
   my $orig = shift;
   my ( $class, @args ) = @_;

   unshift @args, "attr1" if @args % 2 == 1;

   return $class->$orig(@args);
 };

 Foo::Bar->new( 3 );

The default implementation of this method accepts a hash or hash reference of
named parameters. If it receives a single argument that isn't a hash reference
it throws an error.

You can override this method in your class to handle other types of options
passed to the constructor.

This method should always return a hash reference of named options.

=head2 BUILD

Define a C<BUILD> method on your class and the constructor will automatically
call the C<BUILD> method from parent down to child after the object has
been instantiated.  Typically this is used for object validation or possibly
logging.

=head2 DEMOLISH

If you have a C<DEMOLISH> method anywhere in your inheritance hierarchy,
a C<DESTROY> method is created on first object construction which will call
C<< $instance->DEMOLISH($in_global_destruction) >> for each C<DEMOLISH>
method from child upwards to parents.

Note that the C<DESTROY> method is created on first construction of an object
of your class in order to not add overhead to classes without C<DEMOLISH>
methods; this may prove slightly surprising if you try and define your own.

=head2 does

 if ($foo->does('Some::Role1')) {
   ...
 }

Returns true if the object composes in the passed role.

=head1 IMPORTED SUBROUTINES

=head2 extends

 extends 'Parent::Class';

Declares base class. Multiple superclasses can be passed for multiple
inheritance (but please use roles instead).

Calling extends more than once will REPLACE your superclasses, not add to
them like 'use base' would.

=head2 with

 with 'Some::Role1';
 with 'Some::Role2';

Composes a L<Role::Tiny> into current class.  Only one role may be composed in
at a time to allow the code to remain as simple as possible.

=head2 has

 has attr => (
   is => 'ro',
 );

Declares an attribute for the class.

The options for C<has> are as follows:

=over 2

=item * is

B<required>, must be C<ro> or C<rw>.  Unsurprisingly, C<ro> generates an
accessor that will not respond to arguments; to be clear: a getter only. C<rw>
will create a perlish getter/setter.

=item * isa

Takes a coderef which is meant to validate the attribute.  Unlike L<Moose> Moo
does not include a basic type system, so instead of doing C<< isa => 'Num' >>,
one should do

 isa => quote_sub q{
   die "$_[0] is not a number!" unless looks_like_number $_[0]
 },

L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>

=item * coerce

Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the attribute.  The basic idea is to
do something like the following:

 coerce => quote_sub q{
   $_[0] + 1 unless $_[0] % 2
 },

Coerce does not require C<isa> to be defined.

L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>

=item * handles

Takes a string

  handles => 'RobotRole'

Where C<RobotRole> is a role (L<Moo::Role>) that defines an interface which
becomes the list of methods to handle.

Takes a list of methods

 handles => [ qw( one two ) ]

Takes a hashref

 handles => {
   un => 'one',
 }

=item * trigger

Takes a coderef which will get called any time the attribute is set. This
includes the constructor. Coderef will be invoked against the object with the
new value as an argument.

Note that Moose also passes the old value, if any; this feature is not yet
supported.

L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>

=item * default

Takes a coderef which will get called with $self as its only argument
to populate an attribute if no value is supplied to the constructor - or
if the attribute is lazy, when the attribute is first retrieved if no
value has yet been provided.

Note that if your default is fired during new() there is no guarantee that
other attributes have been populated yet so you should not rely on their
existence.

L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>

=item * predicate

Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has a value.

A common example of this would be to call it C<has_$foo>, implying that the
object has a C<$foo> set.

=item * builder

Takes a method name which will be called to create the attribute - functions
exactly like default except that instead of calling

  $default->($self);

Moo will call

  $self->$builder;

=item * clearer

Takes a method name which will clear the attribute.

=item * lazy

B<Boolean>.  Set this if you want values for the attribute to be grabbed
lazily.  This is usually a good idea if you have a L</builder> which requires
another attribute to be set.

=item * required

B<Boolean>.  Set this if the attribute must be passed on instantiation.

=item * reader

The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to get the value of
the attribute.  If you like Java style methods, you might set this to
C<get_foo>

=item * writer

The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to set the value of
the attribute.  If you like Java style methods, you might set this to
C<set_foo>

=item * weak_ref

B<Boolean>.  Set this if you want the reference that the attribute contains to
be weakened; use this when circular references are possible, which will cause
leaks.

=item * init_arg

Takes the name of the key to look for at instantiation time of the object.  A
common use of this is to make an underscored attribute have a non-underscored
initialization name. C<undef> means that passing the value in on instantiation

=back

=head2 before

 before foo => sub { ... };

See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/before method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
documentation.

=head2 around

 around foo => sub { ... };

See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/around method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
documentation.

=head2 after

 after foo => sub { ... };

See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/after method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
documentation.

=head1 SUB QUOTE AWARE

L<Sub::Quote/quote_sub> allows us to create coderefs that are "inlineable,"
giving us a handy, XS-free speed boost.  Any option that is L<Sub::Quote>
aware can take advantage of this.

=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH MOOSE

You can only compose one role at a time.  If your application is large or
complex enough to warrant complex composition, you wanted L<Moose>.  Note that
this does not mean you can only compose one role per class -

  with 'FirstRole';
  with 'SecondRole';

is absolutely fine, there's just currently no equivalent of Moose's

  with 'FirstRole', 'SecondRole';

which composes the two roles together, and then applies them.

There is no built in type system.  C<isa> is verified with a coderef, if you
need complex types, just make a library of coderefs, or better yet, functions
that return quoted subs. L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> provides a similar API
to L<MooseX::Types::Moose> so that you can write

  has days_to_live => (is => 'ro', isa => Int);

and have it work with both; it is hoped that providing only subrefs as an
API will encourage the use of other type systems as well, since it's
probably the weakest part of Moose design-wise.

C<initializer> is not supported in core since the author considers it to be a
bad idea but may be supported by an extension in future. Meanwhile C<trigger> or
C<coerce> are more likely to be able to fulfill your needs.

There is no meta object.  If you need this level of complexity you wanted
L<Moose> - Moo succeeds at being small because it explicitly does not
provide a metaprotocol.

No support for C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, or C<augment> - override can
be handled by around albeit with a little more typing, and the author considers
augment to be a bad idea.

The C<dump> method is not provided by default. The author suggests loading 
L<Devel::Dwarn> into C<main::> (via C<perl -MDevel::Dwarn ...> for example) and
using C<$obj-E<gt>$::Dwarn()> instead.

L</default> only supports coderefs, because doing otherwise is usually a
mistake anyway.

C<lazy_build> is not supported per se, but of course it will work if you
manually set all the options it implies.

C<auto_deref> is not supported since the author considers it a bad idea.

C<documentation> is not supported since it's a very poor replacement for POD.

Handling of warnings: when you C<use Moo> we enable FATAL warnings.  The nearest
similar invocation for L<Moose> would be:

  use Moose;
  use warnings FATAL => "all";

Additionally, L<Moo> supports a set of attribute option shortcuts intended to
reduce common boilerplate.  The set of shortcuts is the same as in the L<Moose>
module L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>.  So if you:

    package MyClass;
    use Moo;

The nearest L<Moose> invocation would be:

    package MyClass;

    use Moose;
    use warnings FATAL => "all";
    use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts;

or, if you're inheriting from a non-Moose class,

    package MyClass;

    use Moose;
    use MooseX::NonMoose;
    use warnings FATAL => "all";
    use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts;

Finally, Moose requires you to call

    __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

at the end of your class to get an inlined (i.e. not horribly slow)
constructor. Moo does it automatically the first time ->new is called
on your class.
