SYNOPSIS

package Hello::World;

use Moo;
use MooX::LazierAttributes;

attributes (
    one   => [], # defaults to be ro
    two   => [{}],
    three => [sub { My::Thing->new() }, { lzy, }],
    [qw/four five six/] => [rw, 'ruling the world'],
);

has seven => ( is_ro, lzy, default => sub { [qw/a b c/] });

.....

my $hello = Hello::World->new({
    one => 1,
    two => { three => 'four' },
});

$hello->one;    # 1
$hello->two;    # { three => 'four' }
$hello->three;  # $obj

... Extending .....

`package Extends::Hello::World;

use Moo;
use MooX::LazierAttributes;

extends 'Hello::World';

attributes (
    '+one' => ['hey'],
    '+two' => [[qw/why are you inside/]],
    [qw/+four +five +six/] => ['well the sun it hurts my eyes'],
);

my $hello = Extends::Hello::World->new();

$hello->one;    # hey
$hello->two;    # ['why', 'are', 'you', 'inside'],
$hello->four;   # well the sun it hurts my eyes

... What if I like Types ...

package Hello::World;

use Moo;
use MooX::LazierAttributes qw/is_ro rw lzy bld/;
use Types::Standard qw/Str HashRef ArrayRef Object/;

attributes (
    one   => [Str], # defaults to be ro
    two   => [HashRef],
    three => [Object, { lzy, bld }],
    [qw/four five six/] => [rw, Str, { default => 'ruling the world' }],
);

has seven => ( is_ro, lzy, isa => ArrayRef, default => sub { [qw/a b c/] });

sub _build_three {
    return My::Thing->new();
}

... Moo -> Moose ...

package Hello::World;

use Moose;
use MooX::LazierAttributes qw/is_ro rw lzy bld/;
use Types::Standard qw/Str HashRef ArrayRef Object/;

attributes (
    one   => [Str], # defaults to be ro
    two   => [HashRef],
    three => [Object, { lzy, bld }],
    [qw/four five six/] => [rw, Str, { default => 'ruling the world' }],
);

has seven => ( is_ro, lzy, isa => ArrayRef, default => sub { [qw/a b c/] });

sub _build_three {
    return My::Thing->new();
}

EXPORT

attributes

I'm a list, my content gets transformed into Moo Attributes. My keys can either be a scalar or an array reference of scalars, they are used as the (*has*) name when constructing the Attributes.

one => [],
[qw/two three/] => []
...
has one => ( is => 'ro' );
has [qw/two three/] => ( is => 'ro' );

My value has to be an array reference, which can contain 3 indexes. If I was to write a read-write attribute that had a type constraint was lazy and also had a builder. It would look something like this.

attributes (
    example => [ rw, ArrayRef, { lzy, bld } ],
);

....

has example => (
    is => 'rw',
    isa => ArrayRef,
    lazy => 1,
    builder => 1,
);

The values first index - *is* - can only ever be ro/rw. A lot of the time you only actually want read-only so we can default that. I'll show you Another example this time we have a read-only attribute, that has a type constraint and is required.

attributes (
    example => [ Str, { req } ]
)

....

has example => (
    is => 'ro',
    isa => Str,
    required => 1,
);

As you can see we have dropped the first index (*is*). The last index the [1] above and [2] in my first example must always be a hash reference that conforms to Moo attribute Standards. This module exports constants that try to make filling this reference less repetitive. Sometimes you may not always need extra, Moo Magic - a read-only attribute with just a type constraint.

attributes (
    example => [ArrayRef],
);

....

has example => (
    is => 'ro',
    isa => ArrayRef
);

And just a read-only attribute...

attributes (
    example => [],
);

Constants

When you *use* MooX::LazierAttributes by default It will export the following constants.

You can restrict which constants get imported the same way you would with any other Exporter.

use MooX::LazierAttributes qw/ro rw lzy bld/;

ro

'ro'

is_ro

( is => 'ro' )

rw

'rw'

is_rw

( is => 'rw' )

nan

undef

lzy;

( lazy => 1 )

bld

( builder => 1 )

lzy_bld

( lazy_build => 1 ),

trg

( tigger => 1 ),

req

( required => 1 ),

coe

( coerce => 1 ),

lzy_hash

( lazy => 1, default => sub { {} } )

lzy_array

( lazy => 1, default => sub { [] } )

lzy_str

( lazy => 1, default => sub { '' } )

dhash

( default => sub { {} } )

darray

( default => sub { [] } )

dstr

( default => sub { '' } )

Acknowledgements

One would like to Acknowledge Haarg for taking the time to read my code and pointing me in the right direction.
