227 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
228 | |
71bd6a81 |
229 | This module is an extremely light-weight subset of L<Moose> optimised for |
230 | rapid startup and pay for what you use. |
231 | |
8146585e |
232 | It also avoids depending on any XS modules to allow simple deployments. The |
233 | name C<Moo> is based on the idea that it provides almost -but not quite- two |
234 | thirds of L<Moose>. |
235 | |
71bd6a81 |
236 | Unlike C<Mouse> this module does not aim at full compatibility with |
237 | L<Moose>'s surface syntax, preferring instead of provide full interoperability |
238 | via the metaclass inflation capabilites described in L</MOO AND MOOSE>. |
239 | |
240 | For a full list of the minor differences between L<Moose> and L<Moo>'s surface |
241 | syntax, see L</INCOMPATIBILITIES>. |
8146585e |
242 | |
5d5bb71d |
243 | =head1 WHY MOO EXISTS |
244 | |
245 | If you want a full object system with a rich Metaprotocol, L<Moose> is |
246 | already wonderful. |
247 | |
71bd6a81 |
248 | However, sometimes you're writing a command line script or a CGI script |
249 | where fast startup is essential, or code designed to be deployed as a single |
250 | file via L<App::FatPacker>, or you're writing a CPAN module and you want it |
251 | to be usable by people with those constraints. |
252 | |
5d5bb71d |
253 | I've tried several times to use L<Mouse> but it's 3x the size of Moo and |
254 | takes longer to load than most of my Moo based CGI scripts take to run. |
255 | |
256 | If you don't want L<Moose>, you don't want "less metaprotocol" like L<Mouse>, |
257 | you want "as little as possible" - which means "no metaprotocol", which is |
258 | what Moo provides. |
259 | |
71bd6a81 |
260 | Better still, if you install and load L<Moose>, we set up metaclasses for your |
261 | L<Moo> classes and L<Moo::Role> roles, so you can use them in L<Moose> code |
262 | without ever noticing that some of your codebase is using L<Moo>. |
5d5bb71d |
263 | |
264 | Hence - Moo exists as its name - Minimal Object Orientation - with a pledge |
265 | to make it smooth to upgrade to L<Moose> when you need more than minimal |
266 | features. |
267 | |
71bd6a81 |
268 | =head1 MOO AND MOOSE |
1fce5bc9 |
269 | |
270 | If L<Moo> detects L<Moose> being loaded, it will automatically register |
271 | metaclasses for your L<Moo> and L<Moo::Role> packages, so you should be able |
a297a9ab |
272 | to use them in L<Moose> code without anybody ever noticing you aren't using |
1fce5bc9 |
273 | L<Moose> everywhere. |
274 | |
a297a9ab |
275 | Extending a L<Moose> class or consuming a L<Moose::Role> will also work. |
1fce5bc9 |
276 | |
a297a9ab |
277 | So will extending a L<Mouse> class or consuming a L<Mouse::Role> - but note |
278 | that we don't provide L<Mouse> metaclasses or metaroles so the other way |
279 | around doesn't work. This feature exists for L<Any::Moose> users porting to |
280 | L<Moo>, enabling L<Mouse> users to use L<Moo> classes is not a priority for us. |
c100c04c |
281 | |
660f3db2 |
282 | This means that there is no need for anything like L<Any::Moose> for Moo |
c100c04c |
283 | code - Moo and Moose code should simply interoperate without problem. To |
284 | handle L<Mouse> code, you'll likely need an empty Moo role or class consuming |
285 | or extending the L<Mouse> stuff since it doesn't register true L<Moose> |
71bd6a81 |
286 | metaclasses like L<Moo> does. |
287 | |
288 | If you want types to be upgraded to the L<Moose> types, use |
289 | L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> and install the L<MooseX::Types> library to |
290 | match the L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> library you're using - L<Moo> will |
291 | load the L<MooseX::Types> library and use that type for the newly created |
292 | metaclass. |
660f3db2 |
293 | |
1fce5bc9 |
294 | If you need to disable the metaclass creation, add: |
295 | |
296 | no Moo::sification; |
297 | |
298 | to your code before Moose is loaded, but bear in mind that this switch is |
a297a9ab |
299 | currently global and turns the mechanism off entirely so don't put this |
300 | in library code. |

302 | =head1 IMPORTED METHODS |
303 | |
304 | =head2 new |
305 | |
306 | Foo::Bar->new( attr1 => 3 ); |
307 | |
308 | or |
309 | |
310 | Foo::Bar->new({ attr1 => 3 }); |
311 | |
2e575bcd |
312 | =head2 BUILDARGS |
313 | |
f2eac33e |
314 | sub BUILDARGS { |
a17be455 |
315 | my ( $class, @args ) = @_; |
316 | |
317 | unshift @args, "attr1" if @args % 2 == 1; |
318 | |
f2eac33e |
319 | return { @args }; |
a17be455 |
320 | }; |
321 | |
322 | Foo::Bar->new( 3 ); |
323 | |
324 | The default implementation of this method accepts a hash or hash reference of |
325 | named parameters. If it receives a single argument that isn't a hash reference |
326 | it throws an error. |
327 | |
328 | You can override this method in your class to handle other types of options |
329 | passed to the constructor. |
330 | |
331 | This method should always return a hash reference of named options. |
2e575bcd |
332 | |
2d00f3d6 |
333 | =head2 BUILD |
8146585e |
334 | |
2d00f3d6 |
335 | Define a C<BUILD> method on your class and the constructor will automatically |
336 | call the C<BUILD> method from parent down to child after the object has |
337 | been instantiated. Typically this is used for object validation or possibly |
338 | logging. |
8146585e |
339 | |
2d00f3d6 |
340 | =head2 DEMOLISH |
c2cc003f |
341 | |
debb3fcd |
342 | If you have a C<DEMOLISH> method anywhere in your inheritance hierarchy, |
343 | a C<DESTROY> method is created on first object construction which will call |
c2cc003f |
344 | C<< $instance->DEMOLISH($in_global_destruction) >> for each C<DEMOLISH> |
debb3fcd |
345 | method from child upwards to parents. |
346 | |
347 | Note that the C<DESTROY> method is created on first construction of an object |
348 | of your class in order to not add overhead to classes without C<DEMOLISH> |
349 | methods; this may prove slightly surprising if you try and define your own. |
c2cc003f |
350 | |
8146585e |
351 | =head2 does |
352 | |
353 | if ($foo->does('Some::Role1')) { |
354 | ... |
355 | } |
356 | |
357 | Returns true if the object composes in the passed role. |
358 | |
359 | =head1 IMPORTED SUBROUTINES |
360 | |
361 | =head2 extends |
362 | |
363 | extends 'Parent::Class'; |
364 | |
2e575bcd |
365 | Declares base class. Multiple superclasses can be passed for multiple |
366 | inheritance (but please use roles instead). |
367 | |
368 | Calling extends more than once will REPLACE your superclasses, not add to |
369 | them like 'use base' would. |
8146585e |
370 | |
371 | =head2 with |
372 | |
373 | with 'Some::Role1'; |
8146585e |
374 | |
f9755246 |
375 | or |
376 | |
377 | with 'Some::Role1', 'Some::Role2'; |
378 | |
379 | Composes one or more L<Moo::Role> (or L<Role::Tiny>) roles into the current |
380 | class. An error will be raised if these roles have conflicting methods. |
8146585e |
381 | |
382 | =head2 has |
383 | |
384 | has attr => ( |
385 | is => 'ro', |
386 | ); |
387 | |
388 | Declares an attribute for the class. |
389 | |
390 | The options for C<has> are as follows: |
391 | |
392 | =over 2 |
393 | |
394 | =item * is |
395 | |
6577509a |
396 | B<required>, may be C<ro>, C<lazy>, C<rwp> or C<rw>. |
71db76ce |
397 | |
398 | C<ro> generates an accessor that dies if you attempt to write to it - i.e. |
399 | a getter only - by defaulting C<reader> to the name of the attribute. |
400 | |
71db76ce |
401 | C<lazy> generates a reader like C<ro>, but also sets C<lazy> to 1 and |
402 | C<builder> to C<_build_${attribute_name}> to allow on-demand generated |
403 | attributes. This feature was my attempt to fix my incompetence when |
404 | originally designing C<lazy_build>, and is also implemented by |
405 | L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
406 | |
407 | C<rwp> generates a reader like C<ro>, but also sets C<writer> to |
408 | C<_set_${attribute_name}> for attributes that are designed to be written |
409 | from inside of the class, but read-only from outside. |
410 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
411 | |
6577509a |
412 | C<rw> generates a normal getter/setter by defaulting C<accessor> to the |
413 | name of the attribute. |
414 | |
8146585e |
415 | =item * isa |
416 | |
417 | Takes a coderef which is meant to validate the attribute. Unlike L<Moose> Moo |
418 | does not include a basic type system, so instead of doing C<< isa => 'Num' >>, |
419 | one should do |
420 | |
421 | isa => quote_sub q{ |
422 | die "$_[0] is not a number!" unless looks_like_number $_[0] |
423 | }, |
424 | |
425 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
426 | |
c4074652 |
427 | Since L<Moo> does B<not> run the C<isa> check before C<coerce> if a coercion |
428 | subroutine has been supplied, C<isa> checks are not structural to your code |
429 | and can, if desired, be omitted on non-debug builds (although if this results |
430 | in an uncaught bug causing your program to break, the L<Moo> authors guarantee |
431 | nothing except that you get to keep both halves). |
432 | |
71db76ce |
433 | If you want L<MooseX::Types> style named types, look at |
434 | L<MooX::Types::MooseLike>. |
435 | |
436 | To cause your C<isa> entries to be automatically mapped to named |
437 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> objects (rather than the default behaviour |
438 | of creating an anonymous type), set: |
439 | |
440 | $Moo::HandleMoose::TYPE_MAP{$isa_coderef} = sub { |
441 | require MooseX::Types::Something; |
442 | return MooseX::Types::Something::TypeName(); |
443 | }; |
444 | |
445 | Note that this example is purely illustrative; anything that returns a |
446 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object or something similar enough to it to |
447 | make L<Moose> happy is fine. |
448 | |
8146585e |
449 | =item * coerce |
450 | |
451 | Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the attribute. The basic idea is to |
452 | do something like the following: |
453 | |
454 | coerce => quote_sub q{ |
455 | $_[0] + 1 unless $_[0] % 2 |
456 | }, |
457 | |
c4074652 |
458 | Note that L<Moo> will always fire your coercion - this is to permit |
459 | isa entries to be used purely for bug trapping, whereas coercions are |
460 | always structural to your code. We do, however, apply any supplied C<isa> |
461 | check after the coercion has run to ensure that it returned a valid value. |

465 | =item * handles |
466 | |
467 | Takes a string |
468 | |
69673ca7 |
469 | handles => 'RobotRole' |
470 | |
471 | Where C<RobotRole> is a role (L<Moo::Role>) that defines an interface which |
472 | becomes the list of methods to handle. |
e1efec09 |
473 | |
474 | Takes a list of methods |
475 | |
476 | handles => [ qw( one two ) ] |
477 | |
478 | Takes a hashref |
479 | |
480 | handles => { |
481 | un => 'one', |
482 | } |
483 | |
8146585e |
484 | =item * trigger |
485 | |
6fe5100d |
486 | Takes a coderef which will get called any time the attribute is set. This |
487 | includes the constructor. Coderef will be invoked against the object with the |
488 | new value as an argument. |
8146585e |
489 | |
71db76ce |
490 | If you set this to just C<1>, it generates a trigger which calls the |
491 | C<_trigger_${attr_name}> method on C<$self>. This feature comes from |
492 | L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
493 | |
2e575bcd |
494 | Note that Moose also passes the old value, if any; this feature is not yet |
495 | supported. |
496 | |
8146585e |
497 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
498 | |
499 | =item * default |
500 | |
2e575bcd |
501 | Takes a coderef which will get called with $self as its only argument |
502 | to populate an attribute if no value is supplied to the constructor - or |
503 | if the attribute is lazy, when the attribute is first retrieved if no |
504 | value has yet been provided. |
505 | |
506 | Note that if your default is fired during new() there is no guarantee that |
507 | other attributes have been populated yet so you should not rely on their |
508 | existence. |
8146585e |
509 | |
510 | L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE> |
511 | |
512 | =item * predicate |
513 | |
2e575bcd |
514 | Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has a value. |
8146585e |
515 | |
71db76ce |
516 | If you set this to just C<1>, the predicate is automatically named |
517 | C<has_${attr_name}> if your attribute's name does not start with an |
518 | underscore, or <_has_${attr_name_without_the_underscore}> if it does. |
519 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
520 | |
521 | =item * builder |
522 | |
2e575bcd |
523 | Takes a method name which will be called to create the attribute - functions |
524 | exactly like default except that instead of calling |
525 | |
526 | $default->($self); |
527 | |
528 | Moo will call |
529 | |
530 | $self->$builder; |
8146585e |
531 | |
71db76ce |
532 | If you set this to just C<1>, the predicate is automatically named |
533 | C<_build_${attr_name}>. This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
534 | |
8146585e |
535 | =item * clearer |
536 | |
537 | Takes a method name which will clear the attribute. |
538 | |
71db76ce |
539 | If you set this to just C<1>, the clearer is automatically named |
540 | C<clear_${attr_name}> if your attribute's name does not start with an |
541 | underscore, or <_clear_${attr_name_without_the_underscore}> if it does. |
542 | This feature comes from L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
543 | |
8146585e |
544 | =item * lazy |
545 | |
546 | B<Boolean>. Set this if you want values for the attribute to be grabbed |
547 | lazily. This is usually a good idea if you have a L</builder> which requires |
548 | another attribute to be set. |
549 | |
550 | =item * required |
551 | |
552 | B<Boolean>. Set this if the attribute must be passed on instantiation. |
553 | |
1eba910c |
554 | =item * reader |
555 | |
556 | The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to get the value of |
557 | the attribute. If you like Java style methods, you might set this to |
558 | C<get_foo> |
559 | |
560 | =item * writer |
561 | |
562 | The value of this attribute will be the name of the method to set the value of |
563 | the attribute. If you like Java style methods, you might set this to |
564 | C<set_foo> |
565 | |
8146585e |
566 | =item * weak_ref |
567 | |
568 | B<Boolean>. Set this if you want the reference that the attribute contains to |
569 | be weakened; use this when circular references are possible, which will cause |
570 | leaks. |
571 | |
572 | =item * init_arg |
573 | |
574 | Takes the name of the key to look for at instantiation time of the object. A |
575 | common use of this is to make an underscored attribute have a non-underscored |
576 | initialization name. C<undef> means that passing the value in on instantiation |
71db76ce |
577 | is ignored. |

602 | =head1 SUB QUOTE AWARE |
603 | |
604 | L<Sub::Quote/quote_sub> allows us to create coderefs that are "inlineable," |
605 | giving us a handy, XS-free speed boost. Any option that is L<Sub::Quote> |
606 | aware can take advantage of this. |

608 | =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH MOOSE |
8146585e |
609 | |
5902c1fc |
610 | There is no built in type system. C<isa> is verified with a coderef, if you |
8146585e |
611 | need complex types, just make a library of coderefs, or better yet, functions |
5902c1fc |
612 | that return quoted subs. L<MooX::Types::MooseLike> provides a similar API |
613 | to L<MooseX::Types::Moose> so that you can write |
614 | |
615 | has days_to_live => (is => 'ro', isa => Int); |
616 | |
617 | and have it work with both; it is hoped that providing only subrefs as an |
618 | API will encourage the use of other type systems as well, since it's |
619 | probably the weakest part of Moose design-wise. |
8146585e |
620 | |
2e575bcd |
621 | C<initializer> is not supported in core since the author considers it to be a |
f88623a1 |
622 | bad idea but may be supported by an extension in future. Meanwhile C<trigger> or |
623 | C<coerce> are more likely to be able to fulfill your needs. |
8146585e |
624 | |
625 | There is no meta object. If you need this level of complexity you wanted |
2e575bcd |
626 | L<Moose> - Moo succeeds at being small because it explicitly does not |
f9755246 |
627 | provide a metaprotocol. However, if you load L<Moose>, then |
628 | |
629 | Class::MOP::class_of($moo_class_or_role) |
630 | |
631 | will return an appropriate metaclass pre-populated by L<Moo>. |
8146585e |
632 | |
13e41b70 |
633 | No support for C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, or C<augment> - the author |
634 | considers augment to be a bad idea, and override can be translated: |
635 | |
636 | override foo => sub { |
637 | ... |
638 | super(); |
639 | ... |
640 | }; |
641 | |
642 | around foo => sub { |
643 | my ($orig, $self) = (shift, shift); |
644 | ... |
645 | $self->$orig(@_); |
646 | ... |
647 | }; |
8146585e |
648 | |
f2eac33e |
649 | The C<dump> method is not provided by default. The author suggests loading |
c96a6326 |
650 | L<Devel::Dwarn> into C<main::> (via C<perl -MDevel::Dwarn ...> for example) and |
651 | using C<$obj-E<gt>$::Dwarn()> instead. |
652 | |
8146585e |
653 | L</default> only supports coderefs, because doing otherwise is usually a |
654 | mistake anyway. |
655 | |
f9755246 |
656 | C<lazy_build> is not supported; you are instead encouraged to use the |
657 | C<is => 'lazy'> option supported by L<Moo> and L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts>. |
8146585e |
658 | |
2e575bcd |
659 | C<auto_deref> is not supported since the author considers it a bad idea. |
8146585e |
660 | |
f9755246 |
661 | C<documentation> will show up in a L<Moose> metaclass created from your class |
c4074652 |
662 | but is otherwise ignored. Then again, L<Moose> ignores it as well, so this |
f9755246 |
663 | is arguably not an incompatibility. |
40f3e3aa |
664 | |
c4074652 |
665 | Since C<coerce> does not require C<isa> to be defined but L<Moose> does |
666 | require it, the metaclass inflation for coerce-alone is a trifle insane |
667 | and if you attempt to subtype the result will almost certainly break. |
668 | |
69673ca7 |
669 | Handling of warnings: when you C<use Moo> we enable FATAL warnings. The nearest |
670 | similar invocation for L<Moose> would be: |
671 | |
672 | use Moose; |
673 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
674 | |
675 | Additionally, L<Moo> supports a set of attribute option shortcuts intended to |
676 | reduce common boilerplate. The set of shortcuts is the same as in the L<Moose> |
239d4711 |
677 | module L<MooseX::AttributeShortcuts> as of its version 0.009+. So if you: |
69673ca7 |
678 | |
679 | package MyClass; |
680 | use Moo; |
681 | |
682 | The nearest L<Moose> invocation would be: |
683 | |
684 | package MyClass; |
685 | |
686 | use Moose; |
687 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
688 | use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; |
689 | |
5902c1fc |
690 | or, if you're inheriting from a non-Moose class, |
691 | |
692 | package MyClass; |
693 | |
694 | use Moose; |
695 | use MooseX::NonMoose; |
696 | use warnings FATAL => "all"; |
697 | use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; |
698 | |
699 | Finally, Moose requires you to call |
700 | |
701 | __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; |
702 | |
703 | at the end of your class to get an inlined (i.e. not horribly slow) |
704 | constructor. Moo does it automatically the first time ->new is called |
705 | on your class. |
