NAME

MooX::JSON_LD - Extend Moo to provide JSON-LD mark-up for your objects.

SYNOPSIS

# Your Moo (or Moose) Class
use Moo;
use MooX::JSON_LD 'Person';
has first_name => (
is => 'ro',
# various other properties...
json_ld => 1,
);
has last_name => (
is => 'ro',
# various other properties...
json_ld => 1,
);
has birth_date => (
is => 'ro',
# various other properties...
json_ld => 'birthDate',
json_ld_serializer => sub { shift->birth_date },
);
# Then, in a program somewhere...
my $obj = My::Moo::Class->new({
first_name => 'David',
last_name => 'Bowie',
birth_date => '1947-01-08',
});
# print a text representation of the JSON-LD
print $obj->json_ld;
# print the raw data structure for the JSON-LD
print Dumper $obj->json_ld_data;

DESCRIPTION

This is a companion module for MooX::Role::JSON_LD. It extends the has method to support options to add attributes to the json_ld_fields and create the json_ld_type .

To declare the type, add it as the option when importing the module, e.g.

use MooX::JSON_LD 'Thing';

Moo attributes are extended with the following options:

json_ld
has headline => (
is => 'ro',
json_ld => 1,
);

This adds the "headline" attribute to the json_ld_fields.

has alt_headline => (
is => 'ro',
json_ld => 'alternateHeadline',
);

This adds the "alt_headline" attribute to the json_ld_fields, with the label "alternateHeadline".

json_ld_serializer
has birth_date => (
is => 'ro',
isa => InstanceOf['DateTime'],
json_ld => 'birthDate',
json_ld_serializer => sub { shift->birth_date->ymd },
);

This allows you to specify a method for converting the data into an object that JSON can serialize.
