MooseX::Has::Sugar(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation MooseX::Has::Sugar(3)

MooseX::Has::Sugar - Sugar Syntax for moose 'has' fields

version 1.000006

  use Moose;
  use MooseX::Types::Moose;
  use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

  has attrname      => ( isa => Str, ro, required   );
  has otherattrname => ( isa => Str, rw, lazy_build );

"MooseX::Has::Sugar" and its related modules provide simple, short-hand, bare-word functions that act as declarative macros for greatly compacting "Moose" "has" declarations, in a similar way to those provided by the declarative subroutines provided by "MooseX::Types"

This provides:

  • Less typing when defining "has" constraints
  • Faster, more skim-readable blocks of "has" constraints
  • Perl Language Level syntax validation at compile time

The constant need to type "=>" and '' is fine for one-off cases, but the instant you have more than about 4 attributes it starts to get annoying.

Reduces much of the redundant typing in most cases, which makes your life easier, and makes it take up less visual space, which makes it faster to read.

Strings are often problematic, due to white-space etc. Noted that if you do happen to mess them up, Moose should at least warn you that you've done something daft. Using this alleviates that worry.

    has foo => (
            isa => 'Str',
            is  => 'ro',
            required => 1,
    );

    has bar => (
            isa => 'Str',
            is => 'rw'
            lazy_build => 1,
    );

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS

    has qw( foo isa Str is ro required 1 );
    has qw( bar isa Str is rw lazy_build 1 );

( and with MooseX::Types )

    use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
    use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

    has foo => (
            isa => Str,
            ro,
            required,
    );
    has bar => (
            isa => Str,
            rw,
            lazy_build,
    );

Or even

    use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
    use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

    has foo => ( isa => Str, ro,  required, );
    has bar => ( isa => Str, rw,  lazy_build, );

( using ::Sugar::Minimal instead )

    use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
    use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;

    has foo => (
            isa => Str,
            is  => ro,
            required => 1,
    );
    has bar => (
            isa => Str,
            is => rw,
            lazy_build => 1,
    );

( Combining parts of this and ::Sugar::Minimal )

    use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
    use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;
    use MooseX::Has::Sugar qw( :attrs );

    has foo => (
            isa => Str,
            is  => ro,
            required,
    );
    has bar => (
            isa => Str,
            is => rw,
            lazy_build,
    );

Since 0.0300, this exports all our syntax, the same as ":attrs" ":isattrs". Primarily because I found you generally want all the sugar, not just part of it. This also gets rid of that nasty exclusion logic.

This exports "ro", "rw" and "bare" as lists, so they behave as stand-alone attributes like "lazy" does.

    has foo => (
            required,
            isa => 'Str',
            ro,
    );

NOTE: This option is incompatible with ::Sugar::Minimal : "CONFLICTS"

This exports "lazy" , "lazy_build" and "required", "coerce", "weak_ref" and "auto_deref" as subs that assume positive.

    has foo => (
            required,
            isa => 'Str',
    );

NOTE: This option is incompatible with MooseX::Types and Moose's Type Constraints Module : "CONFLICTS"

DEPRECATED. See ::Sugar::Minimal for the same functionality

DEPRECATED, just use ":default" or do

    use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

returns "('is','bare')"

returns "('is','ro')"

returns "('is','rw')"

returns "('required',1)"

returns "('lazy',1)"

returns "('lazy_build',1)"

returns "('weak_ref',1)"

returns "('coerce',1)"

WARNING: Conflict with MooseX::Types and Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, see "CONFLICTS".

returns "('auto_deref',1)"

This module is not intended to be used in conjunction with ::Sugar::Minimal or ::Sugar::Saccharin

We export many of the same symbols and its just not very sensible.

due to exporting the "coerce" symbol, using us in the same scope as a call to

    use MooseX::Types ....

or use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

will result in a symbol collision.

We recommend using and creating proper type libraries instead, ( which will absolve you entirely of the need to use MooseX::Types and MooseX::Has::Sugar(::*)? in the same scope )
