DESCRIPTION

MooseX::Privacy brings the concept of private and protected methods to your class.

METHODS

Private

When you declare a method as private, this method can be called only within the class.

    package Foo;

    use Moose;
    use MooseX::Privacy;

    private_method foo => sub { return 23 };

    sub mul_by_foo { my $self = shift; $self->foo * $_[0] }

    1;

    my $foo = Foo->new;
    $foo->foo;           # die
    $foo->mul_by_foo;    # ok

Protected

When you declare a method as protected, this method can be called only within the class AND any of it's subclasses.

    package Foo;

    use Moose;
    use MooseX::Privacy;

    protected_method foo => sub { return 23 };

    package Bar;

    use Moose;
    extends Foo;

    sub bar { my $self = shift; $self->foo }

    1;

    my $foo = Foo->new;
    $foo->foo;    # die
    my $bar = Bar->new;
    $bar->bar;    # ok

Attributes

Private

When the Private traits is applied to an attribute, this attribute can only be read or set within the class.
