NAME

MooseX::FunctionParametersInfo - make Function::Parameters::info() data available within the meta object protocol

SYNOPSIS

   package Foo {
      use Function::Parameters;
      use Moose;
      use MooseX::FunctionParametersInfo;
      
      method bar (Str $x, Int $y) {
         ...;
      }
   }
   
   my $method = Class::MOP::class_of('Foo')->get_method('bar');
   printf("%s %s\n", $_->type, $_->name)
      for $method->positional_parameters;
   
   __END__
   Str $x
   Int $y

DESCRIPTION

Function::Parameters provides declarative sugar for processing arguments to subs, and provides a small API to query the declarations.

Moose provides a comprehensive introspection API for Perl classes.

MooseX::FunctionParametersInfo marries them together, injecting information from Function::Parameters into Moose's meta objects.

MooseX::FunctionParametersInfo is currently distributed as part of Moops, but is fairly independent of the rest of it, and may be spun off as a separate release in the future.

Methods

MooseX::FunctionParametersInfo adds the following methods to the Moose::Meta::Method objects for your class. If your method is wrapped, it is the info from the original (wrapped) method that is reported; not the info from the wrapper. If your method was not declared via Function::Parameters (e.g. it was declared using the Perl built-in sub keyword) then we make a best guess.

Methods that return parameters, return Function::Parameters::Parameter objects, which have name and type methods. The type (if any) will be a blessed type constraint object, such as a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint or Type::Tiny object.

declaration_keyword

Returns the name of the keyword used to declare the method; e.g. "sub" or "method".

slurpy_parameter

The array parameter into which additional arguments will be slurped, or undef.

invocant_parameter

The parameter which is the method's invocant (typically, $self or $class), or undef.

positional_required_parameters, positional_optional_parameters named_required_parameters, named_optional_parameters

Returns the appropriate parameters as a list.

positional_parameters, named_parameters

A list of the required parameters followed by optional parameters.

minimum_parameters, maximum_parameters

The minimum and maximum number of parameters the method can take.
