Declare variable of the same name in the current package for use within the lexical scope.

        Kosmos {
                our $one %two
        }

Accessors

Declare an accessor for the class

        Kosmos {
                dokimi
                dokimes
        }

:required | :r

Making an accessor required means a value for the accessor must be supplied to the constructor.

        dokimi :r
        dokimes :required

:default | :d

The default is used when no value for the accessor was supplied to the constructor.

        dokimi :d(Eimai o monos)
        dokimes :default([{ ola => "peripou", o => [qw/kosmos/] }])

:clearer | :c

Setting clearer creates a method to clear the accessor.

        dokimi :c
        dokimes :clearer

        $class->clear_dokimi;

:coerce | :co

Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the attributes value.

        dokimi :co(array_to_string)
        dokimes :coerce($value = $value->[0] if ref($value) || "" eq "ARRAY";)

:private | :p

Setting private makes the accessor only available to the class.

        dokimi :p
        dokimes :private

:predicate | :pr

Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has a value. The predicate is automatically named has_${accessor}.

        dokimi :pr
        dokimes :predicate

:trigger | :tr

Takes a coderef which will get called any time the attribute is set.

        dokimi :tr(trigger_to_method)
        dokimes :trigger(warn Dumper $value)

:type | :t

Add type checking to the accessor.

        dokimi :t(Dict[onoma => Str, id => Optional[Int], epiloges => Dict[onama => Str]])
        dokimes :type(Str)

:builder | :bdr

Takes a coderef which is meant to build the attributes value.

        dokimi :bdr
        dokimes :builder($value = $value->[0] if ref($value) || "" eq "ARRAY";)

:test | :z

Add tests associated to the accessor.

        dokimi :z(['ok', '$obj->dokimi'])
        dokimes :z(['deep', '$obj->dokimes({})', q|{}|)

Methods

Declare a sub routine/method.

        Kosmos {
                dokimi {
                        ... perl code ...
                }
        }

Params

Methods will always have $self defined but you can define additional params by declaring them before the code block.

        dokimi $one %two {
                ... perl code ...
        }

generates

        sub dokimi {
                my ($self, $one, %two) = @_;
                ... perl code ...
        }

:type :t

Add type checking to the param.

        dokimi $one :t(Str) {
                ... perl code ...
        }

        dokimes $one :t(Str) $two :t(HashRef) {
                ... perl code ...
        }

:coerce | :co

Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the method param.

        dokimi $str :co(array_to_string)
        dokimes $str :t(Str) :co(array_to_string)

:private :p

Setting private makes the method only available to the class.

        dokimi :p {
                ... perl code ...
        }
        dokimes :private $one %two {
                ... perl code ...
        }

:default | :d

The default is used when no value for the sub was passed as a param.

        dokimi $str :d(Eimai o monos) { }
        dokimes $arrayRef :default([{ ola => "peripou", o => [qw/kosmos/] }]) { }

:test | :z

Add tests associated to the sub.

        dokimi :z(['ok', '$obj->dokimi']) { }
        dokimes :test(['deep', '$obj->dokimes({})', q|{}|) { }

:before | :b

Before is called before the parent method is called. You can modify the params using the @params variable.

        dokimi :b {
                ... before ...
        }:

generates

        sub dokimi {
                my ( $orig, $self, @params ) = ( 'SUPER::geras', @_ );
                ... before ...
                my @res = $self->$orig(@params);
                return @res;
        }

:around | :ar

Around is called instead of the method it is modifying. The method you're overriding is passed in as the first argument (called $orig by convention). You can modify the params using the @params variable.

        dokimi :ar {
                ... before around ...
                my @res = $self->$orig(@params);
                ... after around ...
        }

generates

        sub dokimi {
                my ( $orig, $self, @params ) = ( 'SUPER::geras', @_ );
                ... before around ...
                my @res = $self->$orig(@params);
                ... after around ...
                return @res;
        }

:after | :a

After is called after the parent method is called. You can modify the response using the @res variable.

        dokimi :a {
                ... after ...
        }

generates

        sub dokimi {
                my ( $orig, $self, @params ) = ( 'SUPER::geras', @_ );
                my @res = $self->$orig(@params);
                ... after ...
                return @res;
        }

Types

Any

Absolutely any value passes this type constraint (even undef).

        dokimi :t(Any)

Item

Essentially the same as Any. All other type constraints in this library inherit directly or indirectly from Item.

        dokimi :t(Item)

Bool

Values that are reasonable booleans. Accepts 1, 0, the empty string and undef.

        dokimi :t(Bool)

Str

Any string.

        dokimi :t(Str)

Num

Any number.

        dokimi :t(Num)

Int

An integer; that is a string of digits 0 to 9, optionally prefixed with a hyphen-minus character.

        dokimi :t(Int)

Ref

Any defined reference value, including blessed objects.

        dokimi :t(Ref)
        dokimes :t(Ref[HASH])

ScalarRef

A value where ref($value) eq "SCALAR" or ref($value) eq "REF".

        dokimi :t(ScalarRef)
        dokimes :t(ScalarRef[SCALAR])

ArrayRef

A value where ref($value) eq "ARRAY".

        dokimi :t(ArrayRef)
        dokimes :t(ArrayRef[Str, 1, 100])

HashRef

A value where ref($value) eq "HASH".

        dokimi :t(HashRef)
        dokimes :t(HashRef[Int])

CodeRef

A value where ref($value) eq "CODE"

        dokimi :t(CodeRef)

RegexpRef

A value where ref($value) eq "Regexp"

        dokimi :t(RegexpRef)

GlobRef

A value where ref($value) eq "GLOB"

        dokimi :t(GlobRef)

Object

A blessed object.

        dokimi :t(Object)

Map

Similar to HashRef but parameterized with type constraints for both the key and value. The constraint for keys would typically be a subtype of Str.

        dokimi :t(Map[Str, Int])

Tuple

Accepting a list of type constraints for each slot in the array.

        dokimi :t(Tuple[Str, Int, HashRef])

Dict

Accepting a list of type constraints for each slot in the hash.

        dokimi :t(Dict[onoma => Str, id => Optional[Int], epiloges => Dict[onama => Str]])

Optional

Used in conjunction with Dict and Tuple to specify slots that are optional and may be omitted.

        dokimi :t(Optional[Str])

Macros

Hades has a concept of macros that allow you to write re-usable code. see https://metacpan.org/source/LNATION/Hades-0.21/macro-fh.hades for an example of how to extend via macros.

        macro {

Testing

Hades can auto-generate test files. If you take the following example:

        use Hades;
        Hades->run({
                eval => q|Dokimes {
                        curae :r :default(5)
                        penthos :t(Str) :r
                        nosoi :default(3) :t(Int) :clearer
                        limos
                                $test :t(Str)
                                :test(
                                        ['ok', '$obj->penthos(2) && $obj->nosoi(2) && $obj->curae(5)'],
                                        ['is', '$obj->limos("yay")', 5 ],
                                        ['ok', '$obj->penthos(5)' ],
                                        ['is', '$obj->limos("yay")', q{''}]
                                )
                                { if ($_[0]->penthos == $_[0]->nosoi) { return $_[0]->curae; } }
                }|,
                lib => 'lib',
                tlib => 't/lib',
        });

It will generate a test file located at t/lib/Dokimes.t which looks like:

        use Test::More;

        use warnings;
        BEGIN { use_ok('Dokimes'); }

                );

tests

Unfortunately not all code can have auto generated tests, so you should use the :test attribute to define additional to test custom logic.

ok

This simply evaluates any expression ($got eq $expected is just a simple example) and uses that to determine if the test succeeded or failed. A true expression passes, a false one fails.

        ['ok', '$obj->$method']

can_ok

Checks to make sure the $module or $object can do these @methods (works with functions, too).

        ['can_ok', '$obj', $method]

isa_ok

Checks to see if the given $object->isa($class). Also checks to make sure the object was defined in the first place. Handy for this sort of thing:

        ['isa_ok', '$obj', $class]

is

Similar to ok(), is() and isnt() compare their two arguments with eq and ne respectively and use the result of that to determine if the test succeeded or failed. So these:

        ['is', '$obj->$method', $expected]

isnt

        ['isnt', '$obj->$method', $expected]

like

Similar to ok(), like() matches $got against the regex qr/expected/.

        ['like', '$obj->$method', $expected_regex]

unlike

Works exactly as like(), only it checks if $got does not match the given pattern.

        ['unlike', '$obj->$method', $expected_regex]

deep

Similar to is(), except that if $got and $expected are references, it does a deep comparison walking each data structure to see if they are equivalent. If the two structures are different, it will display the place where they start differing.

        ['deep', '$obj->$method', $expected]

eval

Evaluate code that you expect to die and check the warning using like.

        ['eval', '$obj->$method", $error_expected]
