NAME

MooX::Marlin - 🐮 ❤️ 🐟 inherit from Marlin classes in Moo

SYNOPSIS

use v5.20.0;
no warnings "experimental::signatures";

package Person {
  use Types::Common -lexical, -all;
  use Marlin::Util -lexical, -all;
  use Marlin
    'name'  => { is => ro, isa => Str, required => true },
    'age'   => { is => rw, isa => Int, predicate => true };
}

package Employee {
  use Moo;
  use MooX::Marlin;
  extends 'Person';
  
  has employee_id => ( is => 'ro', required => 1 );
}

WARNING

This appears to work, but it is not thoroughly tested.

DESCRIPTION

Loading this class will do a few things:

  • Ensures you are using at least Moo 2.004000 (released in April 2020).

  • Loop through all Marlin classes and roles which have already been defined (also any foreign classes like Class::Tiny ones which Marlin has learned about by inheritance, etc) and inject metadata about them into Moo's innards, enabling them to be used by Moo.

  • Tells Marlin to keep injecting metadata into Moo's innards for any Marlin classes or roles that are loaded later.

  • Checks that the caller package is a Moo class or Moo role, and complains otherwise. (Make sure to use Moo or use Moo::Role before you use Moo::Marlin!)
