5febcf4d 485=head1 DESCRIPTION
486
487C<Role::Tiny> is a minimalist role composition tool.
488
489=head1 ROLE COMPOSITION
490
491Role composition can be thought of as much more clever and meaningful multiple
492inheritance. The basics of this implementation of roles is:
493
494=over 2
495
496=item *
497
498If a method is already defined on a class, that method will not be composed in
499from the role.
500
501=item *
502
503If a method that the role L</requires> to be implemented is not implemented,
504role application will fail loudly.
505
0d39f9d3 506=back
507
5febcf4d 508Unlike L<Class::C3>, where the B<last> class inherited from "wins," role
836aea1b 509composition is the other way around, where the class wins. If multiple roles
510are applied in a single call (single with statement), then if any of their
511provided methods clash, an exception is raised unless the class provides
512a method since this conflict indicates a potential problem.

5febcf4d 514=head1 IMPORTED SUBROUTINES
515
516=head2 requires
517
518 requires qw(foo bar);
519
520Declares a list of methods that must be defined to compose role.
521
522=head2 with
523
524 with 'Some::Role1';
836aea1b 525
526 with 'Some::Role1', 'Some::Role2';
527
528Composes another role into the current role (or class via L<Role::Tiny::With>).
529
530If you have conflicts and want to resolve them in favour of Some::Role1 you
afc827be 531can instead write:
836aea1b 532
533 with 'Some::Role1';
5febcf4d 534 with 'Some::Role2';
535
836aea1b 536If you have conflicts and want to resolve different conflicts in favour of
537different roles, please refactor your codebase.
5febcf4d 538
539=head2 before
540
541 before foo => sub { ... };
542
543See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/before method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
544documentation.
545
adcb6c3d 546Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
547L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
548a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
549both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
550
5febcf4d 551=head2 around
552
553 around foo => sub { ... };
554
555See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/around method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
556documentation.
557
adcb6c3d 558Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
559L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
560a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
561both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
562
5febcf4d 563=head2 after
564
565 after foo => sub { ... };
566
567See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/after method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
568documentation.
569
adcb6c3d 570Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
571L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
572a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
573both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
574
26b8d929 575=head2 Strict and Warnings
576
577In addition to importing subroutines, using C<Role::Tiny> applies L<strict> and
578L<fatal warnings|perllexwarn/Fatal Warnings> to the caller. It's possible to
579disable these if desired:
580
581 use Role::Tiny;
582 use warnings NONFATAL => 'all';
583
ec28e16b 584=head1 SUBROUTINES
585
586=head2 does_role
587
588 if (Role::Tiny::does_role($foo, 'Some::Role')) {
589 ...
590 }
591
592Returns true if class has been composed with role.
593
594This subroutine is also installed as ->does on any class a Role::Tiny is
595composed into unless that class already has an ->does method, so
596
597 if ($foo->does('Some::Role')) {
598 ...
599 }
600
fa89d582 601will work for classes but to test a role, one must use ::does_role directly.
602
603Additionally, Role::Tiny will override the standard Perl C<DOES> method
604for your class. However, if C<any> class in your class' inheritance
8159d057 605hierarchy provides C<DOES>, then Role::Tiny will not override it.

607=head1 METHODS
608
609=head2 apply_roles_to_package
610
611 Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_package(
612 'Some::Package', 'Some::Role', 'Some::Other::Role'
613 );
614
615Composes role with package. See also L<Role::Tiny::With>.
616
617=head2 apply_roles_to_object
618
619 Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_object($foo, qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
620
621Composes roles in order into object directly. Object is reblessed into the
622resulting class.
623
624=head2 create_class_with_roles
625
626 Role::Tiny->create_class_with_roles('Some::Base', qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
627
628Creates a new class based on base, with the roles composed into it in order.
629New class is returned.
630
fe2e95b1 631=head2 is_role
632
633 Role::Tiny->is_role('Some::Role1')
634
635Returns true if the given package is a role.
636
3f9b723f 637=head1 CAVEATS
638
639=over 4
640
641=item * On perl 5.8.8 and earlier, applying a role to an object won't apply any
642overloads from the role to all copies of the object.
643
adcb6c3d 644=head1 SEE ALSO
645
646L<Role::Tiny> is the attribute-less subset of L<Moo::Role>; L<Moo::Role> is
647a meta-protocol-less subset of the king of role systems, L<Moose::Role>.
648
ed1d913d 649Ovid's L<Role::Basic> provides roles with a similar scope, but without method
650modifiers, and having some extra usage restrictions.
