5febcf4d 487=head1 DESCRIPTION
488
489C<Role::Tiny> is a minimalist role composition tool.
490
491=head1 ROLE COMPOSITION
492
493Role composition can be thought of as much more clever and meaningful multiple
494inheritance. The basics of this implementation of roles is:
495
496=over 2
497
498=item *
499
500If a method is already defined on a class, that method will not be composed in
501from the role.
502
503=item *
504
505If a method that the role L</requires> to be implemented is not implemented,
506role application will fail loudly.
507
0d39f9d3 508=back
509
5febcf4d 510Unlike L<Class::C3>, where the B<last> class inherited from "wins," role
836aea1b 511composition is the other way around, where the class wins. If multiple roles
512are applied in a single call (single with statement), then if any of their
513provided methods clash, an exception is raised unless the class provides
514a method since this conflict indicates a potential problem.

517
518=head2 requires
519
520 requires qw(foo bar);
521
522Declares a list of methods that must be defined to compose role.
523
524=head2 with
525
526 with 'Some::Role1';
836aea1b 527
528 with 'Some::Role1', 'Some::Role2';
529
530Composes another role into the current role (or class via L<Role::Tiny::With>).
531
532If you have conflicts and want to resolve them in favour of Some::Role1 you
afc827be 533can instead write:
836aea1b 534
535 with 'Some::Role1';
5febcf4d 536 with 'Some::Role2';
537
836aea1b 538If you have conflicts and want to resolve different conflicts in favour of
539different roles, please refactor your codebase.

542
543 before foo => sub { ... };
544
545See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/before method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
546documentation.
547
adcb6c3d 548Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
549L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
550a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
551both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
552
5febcf4d 553=head2 around
554
555 around foo => sub { ... };
556
557See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/around method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
558documentation.
559
adcb6c3d 560Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
561L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
562a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
563both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
564
5febcf4d 565=head2 after
566
567 after foo => sub { ... };
568
569See L<< Class::Method::Modifiers/after method(s) => sub { ... } >> for full
570documentation.
571
adcb6c3d 572Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers,
573L<Class::Method::Modifiers> is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as
574a dependency. If your L<Role::Tiny> role uses modifiers you must depend on
575both L<Class::Method::Modifiers> and L<Role::Tiny>.
576
26b8d929 577=head2 Strict and Warnings
578
579In addition to importing subroutines, using C<Role::Tiny> applies L<strict> and
580L<fatal warnings|perllexwarn/Fatal Warnings> to the caller. It's possible to
581disable these if desired:
582
583 use Role::Tiny;
584 use warnings NONFATAL => 'all';
585
ec28e16b 586=head1 SUBROUTINES
587
588=head2 does_role
589
590 if (Role::Tiny::does_role($foo, 'Some::Role')) {
591 ...
592 }
593
594Returns true if class has been composed with role.
595
596This subroutine is also installed as ->does on any class a Role::Tiny is
597composed into unless that class already has an ->does method, so
598
599 if ($foo->does('Some::Role')) {
600 ...
601 }
602
fa89d582 603will work for classes but to test a role, one must use ::does_role directly.
604
605Additionally, Role::Tiny will override the standard Perl C<DOES> method
606for your class. However, if C<any> class in your class' inheritance
8159d057 607hierarchy provides C<DOES>, then Role::Tiny will not override it.

609=head1 METHODS
610
611=head2 apply_roles_to_package
612
613 Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_package(
614 'Some::Package', 'Some::Role', 'Some::Other::Role'
615 );
616
617Composes role with package. See also L<Role::Tiny::With>.
618
619=head2 apply_roles_to_object
620
621 Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_object($foo, qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
622
623Composes roles in order into object directly. Object is reblessed into the
624resulting class.
625
626=head2 create_class_with_roles
627
628 Role::Tiny->create_class_with_roles('Some::Base', qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
629
630Creates a new class based on base, with the roles composed into it in order.
631New class is returned.
632
fe2e95b1 633=head2 is_role
634
635 Role::Tiny->is_role('Some::Role1')
636
637Returns true if the given package is a role.
638

640
641=over 4
642
643=item * On perl 5.8.8 and earlier, applying a role to an object won't apply any
644overloads from the role to all copies of the object.

649
650L<Role::Tiny> is the attribute-less subset of L<Moo::Role>; L<Moo::Role> is
651a meta-protocol-less subset of the king of role systems, L<Moose::Role>.
652
ed1d913d 653Ovid's L<Role::Basic> provides roles with a similar scope, but without method
654modifiers, and having some extra usage restrictions.
