NAME

Constructor::SugarLibrary - build a library of generic constructor syntax sugar

VERSION

version 0.213360

SYNOPSIS

Declare syntax sugar in a library that will export it.

package My::SugarLib;
sweeten "My::Moo::Object";
sweeten "My::Moose::Thing";

This is how you'd normally construct and check objects:

my $obj = My::Moo::Object->new( plus => "some", more => "data" );
die if !$obj->isa( "My::Moo::Object" );
my $obj2 = My::Moose::Thing->new( with => "other", meta => "data" );
die if !$obj->isa( "My::Moose::Thing" );

Using the sugar library the same can be done much more concisely:

my $obj = object plus => "some", more => "data";
die if $obj->isa( Object );
my $obj2 = thing with => "other", meta => "data";
die if $obj->isa( Thing );
