NAME

Moose::Micro - succinctly specify Moose attributes

VERSION

version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

package MyClass;
use Moose::Micro 'foo $bar @baz; %!quux';

DESCRIPTION

Moose::Micro makes it easy to declare Moose attributes without a lot of typing.

SYNTAX

The argument to use Moose::Micro is a list of attribute names, which is split on whitespace. Any attributes named before the (optional) semicolon are required; any after it are not.

Sigils are optional, and impose the following type constraints:

  • @: ArrayRef

  • %: HashRef

  • $: anything under Defined that isn't one of the above

No sigil means no type constraint.

Following the sigil or prefixing the attribute name with ! makes the attribute 'private'; that is, the generated accessor will start with _, e.g.:

!foo $!bar

If your class has a method named _build_$attribute, lazy_build => 1 is added to the attribute definition.

LIMITATIONS

All attributes are declared is => 'rw'.

There is no way to specify many options, like default, builder, handles, etc.

METHODS

These are all internals that you probably don't care about. They'll be documented when they're stable.
