DESCRIPTION

Provides a runtime interface to create Moo classes. Takes a class name and a pair-list of parameters used to create the class. The pairs are always in the form of ( function => arguments ), where arguments has to be a single scalar. It can be either an array-ref, or if it is not one, it will be wrapped in one. function can be a string from this list:

extends has with before around after install

The obvious ones are proxies for the corresponding Moo class setup functions, and install is used to set up methods.

METHODS

make_variant_package_name

Advises Package::Variant to use the user-provided name to create the new class in. Dies if that class has already been defined.

make_variant

Takes the arguments and executes them as function calls on the target package to declare the class.
