NAME
MooseX::AttributeHelpers - Extend your attribute interfaces (deprecated)
SYNOPSIS
package MyClass;
use Moose;
use MooseX::AttributeHelpers;
has 'mapping' => (
metaclass => 'Collection::Hash',
is => 'rw',
isa => 'HashRef[Str]',
default => sub { {} },
provides => {
exists => 'exists_in_mapping',
keys => 'ids_in_mapping',
get => 'get_mapping',
set => 'set_mapping',
},
curries => {
set => { set_quantity => [ 'quantity' ] }
}
);
# ...
my $obj = MyClass->new;
$obj->set_quantity(10); # quantity => 10
$obj->set_mapping(4, 'foo'); # 4 => 'foo'
$obj->set_mapping(5, 'bar'); # 5 => 'bar'
$obj->set_mapping(6, 'baz'); # 6 => 'baz'
# prints 'bar'
print $obj->get_mapping(5) if $obj->exists_in_mapping(5);
# prints '4, 5, 6'
print join ', ', $obj->ids_in_mapping;
DESCRIPTION
This distribution is deprecated. The features it provides have been added to the Moose core code as Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native. This
distribution should not be used by any new code.
While Moose attributes provide you with a way to name your accessors, readers, writers, clearers and predicates, this library provides
commonly used attribute helper methods for more specific types of data.
As seen in the "SYNOPSIS", you specify the extension via the "metaclass" parameter. Available meta classes are:
PARAMETERS
provides
This points to a hashref that uses "provider" for the keys and "method" for the values. The method will be added to the object itself and
do what you want.
curries
This points to a hashref that uses "provider" for the keys and has two choices for the value:
You can supply "{method => [ @args ]}" for the values. The method will be added to the object itself (always using @args as the beginning
arguments).
Another approach to curry a method provider is to supply a coderef instead of an arrayref. The code ref takes $self, $body, and any
additional arguments passed to the final method.
# ...
curries => {
grep => {
times_with_day => sub {
my ($self, $body, $datetime) = @_;
$body->($self, sub { $_->ymd eq $datetime->ymd });
}
}
}
# ...
$obj->times_with_day(DateTime->now); # takes datetime argument, checks day
METHOD PROVIDERS
Number
Common numerical operations.
String
Common methods for string operations.
Counter
Methods for incrementing and decrementing a counter attribute.
Bool
Common methods for boolean values.
Collection::Hash
Common methods for hash references.
Collection::ImmutableHash
Common methods for inspecting hash references.
Collection::Array
Common methods for array references.
Collection::List
Common list methods for array references.
CAVEAT
This is an early release of this module. Right now it is in great need of documentation and tests in the test suite. However, we have used
this module to great success at $work where it has been tested very thoroughly and deployed into a major production site.
I plan on getting better docs and tests in the next few releases, but until then please refer to the few tests we do have and feel free
email and/or message me on irc.perl.org if you have any questions.
TODO
We need tests and docs badly.
BUGS
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to
cpan-RT.
