NAME

MooseX::Traits - automatically apply roles at object creation time

SYNOPSIS

Given some roles:
   package Role;
   use Moose::Role;
   has foo => ( is => 'ro', isa => 'Int' required => 1 );
 
 

And a class:

   package Class;
   use Moose;
   with 'MooseX::Traits';
 
 

Apply the roles to the class at "new" time:

   my $class = Class->new_with_traits( traits => ['Role'], foo => 42 );
 
 

Then use your customized class:

   $class->isa('Class'); # true
   $class->does('Role'); # true
   $class->foo; # 42
 
 

To apply traits to an existing instance:

   $self->apply_traits([qw/Role1 Role2/], { rebless_params => 'go here' });
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Often you want to create components that can be added to a class arbitrarily. This module makes it easy for the end user to use these components. Instead of requiring the user to create a named class with the desired roles applied, or applying roles to the instance one-by-one, he can just pass a "traits" parameter to the class's "new_with_traits" constructor. This role will then apply the roles in one go, cache the resulting class (for efficiency), and return a new instance. Arguments meant to initialize the applied roles' attributes can also be passed to the constructor.

Alternatively, traits can be applied to an instance with "apply_traits", arguments for initializing attributes in consumed roles can be in %$self (useful for e.g. Catalyst components.)

METHODS

$class->new_with_traits(%args, traits => \@traits)
$instance->apply_traits($trait => \%args)
$instance->apply_traits(\@traits => \%args)

ATTRIBUTES YOUR CLASS GETS

This role will add the following attributes to the consuming class.

_trait_namespace

You can override the value of this attribute with "default" to automatically prepend a namespace to the supplied traits. (This can be overridden by prefixing the trait name with "+".)

Example:

   package Another::Trait;
   use Moose::Role;
   has 'bar' => (
       is       => 'ro',
       isa      => 'Str',
       required => 1,
   );
 
   package Another::Class;
   use Moose;
   with 'MooseX::Traits';
   has '+_trait_namespace' => ( default => 'Another' );
 
   my $instance = Another::Class->new_with_traits(
       traits => ['Trait'], # "Another::Trait", not "Trait"
       bar    => 'bar',
   );
   $instance->does('Trait')          # false
   $instance->does('Another::Trait') # true
 
   my $instance2 = Another::Class->new_with_traits(
       traits => ['+Trait'], # "Trait", not "Another::Trait"
   );
   $instance2->does('Trait')          # true
   $instance2->does('Another::Trait') # false
