NAME

MooX::Traits - automatically apply roles at object creation time

SYNOPSIS

Given some roles:

   package Role;
   use Moo::Role;
   has foo => ( is => 'ro', required => 1 );

And a class:

   package Class;
   use Moo;
   with 'MooX::Traits';

Apply the roles to the class:

   my $class = Class->with_traits('Role');

Then use your customized class:

   my $object = $class->new( foo => 42 );
   $object->isa('Class'); # true
   $object->does('Role'); # true
   $object->foo; # 42

DESCRIPTION

Was any of the SYNOPSIS unexpected? Basically, this module is the same thing as MooseX::Traits and MouseX::Traits, only for Moo. Quelle surprise, right?

Methods

$class->with_traits( @traits )

Return a new class name with the traits applied.

$class->new_with_traits(%args, traits => \@traits)

new_with_traits can also take a hashref, e.g.:

   my $instance = $class->new_with_traits({ traits => \@traits, foo => 'bar' });

This method exists for compatibility with the MooseX and MouseX equivalents of this module, but generally speaking you should prefer to use with_traits.

$class->_trait_namespace

This returns undef, but you can override it in your class to automatically prepend a namespace to supplied traits.

This differs slightly from the MooseX and MouseX versions of this module which have _trait_namespace as an attribute instead of a method.

Compatibility

Although called MooX::Traits, this module actually uses Role::Tiny, so doesn't really require Moo. If you use it in a non-Moo class, you should be able to safely consume any Role::Tiny-based traits.

If you use it in a Moo class, you should also be able to consume Moo::Role-based traits and Moose::Role-based traits.

Package::Variant and MooseX::Role::Parameterized roles should be usable; just provide a hashref of arguments:

   $class->with_traits( $param_role => \%args )->new( ... )
