Mongoose::Class - sugary Mongoose-oriented replacement for Moose
package MySchema::Person; use Mongoose::Class; # uses Moose for you with 'Mongoose::Document'; has 'name' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Str' ); has_many 'siblings' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Person' ); belongs_to 'club' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Club' ); has_one 'father' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Person' );
This is very much a work-in-progress.
Basically, this module adds some sugar into your Mongoose Document class by defining some stand-in replacements for Moose's own has.
has
has_many has_one belongs_to
The idea: fewer keystrokes and improved readability by self-documenting your class.
Wrapper around Moose's own has, but allows for a shorter syntax:
has_one 'name'; # isa=>'Any', is=>'rw' added has_one 'age' => 'Num'; # is=>'rw' added has_one 'age' => 'Num', default=>99;
It's the same as using has_one from above. It exists to improve your code expressiveness.
has_one
Wraps the defined relationship with another class using Mongoose::Join.
Mongoose::Join
This:
has_many 'employees' => ( isa=>'Employee' ); # or has_many 'employees' => 'Employee';
Becomes this:
has 'employees' => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'Mongoose::Join[Employee]', default => sub { Mongoose::Join->new( with_class=>'Employee' ) } );
To install Mongoose, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
