NAME

MooX::XSConstructor - glue between Moo and Class::XSConstructor

SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;
  use Moo;
  use MooX::XSConstructor;
  
  # do normal Moo stuff here

DESCRIPTION

MooX::XSConstructor will look at your class attributes, and see if it could be built using the simple constructor that Class::XSConstructor is able to provide.

If your class is too complicated, it is a no-op.

If your class is simple enough, you will hopefully get a faster constructor.

Things that are deemed too complicated if they appear in any attributes (even an inherited one):

• Eager builders and defaults. (Lazy builders and defaults are fine.)

• Type constraints. (Except Type::Tiny, which is fine.)

• Type coercions.

• Triggers.

• Use of init_arg.

• Use of weak_ref.

Also if your class has a BUILDARGS or FOREIGNBUIDARGS method, it will be too complicated. (The default BUILDARGS inherited from Moo::Object is fine.)

So what Moo features are okay?

Required versus optional attributes, Type::Tiny type constraints (but not coercions), reader/writer/predicate/clearer, lazy defaults/builders, and delegation (handles).

BUGS

Please report any bugs to http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=MooX-XSConstructor.

SEE ALSO

Moo, Class::XSConstructor.

You may also be interested in Class::XSAccessor. Moo already includes all the glue to interface with that, so a MooX module like this one isn't necessary.
