DESCRIPTION
The MooseX::Aliases module will allow you to quickly alias methods in Moose. It provides an alias parameter for has()
to generate aliased accessors as well as the standard ones. Attributes can also be initialized in the constructor via their aliased names.
You can create more than one alias at once by passing a arrayref:
has
ip_addr
=> (
alias
=> [
qw(ipAddr ip)
],
);
FUNCTIONS
alias ALIAS METHODNAME
Installs ALIAS as a method that is aliased to the method METHODNAME.
ALIASING VERSUS OTHER MOOSE FEATURES
Aliasing versus inheritance
In the example above, Child1 overrides the method using its original name (method1
). As a result, calling method1
or method2
returns "B". Child2 overrides the method using its alias (method2
). As a result, calling method2
returns "C", but calling method1
falls through to the parent class, so returns "A".
Aliasing versus method modifiers
{
sub
method1 {
"A"
}
alias
method2
=>
"method1"
;
around
method1
=>
sub
{
"B"
};
}
{
sub
method1 {
"A"
}
alias
method2
=>
"method1"
;
around
method2
=>
sub
{
"B"
};
}
In the example above, Class1's around modifier modifies the method using its original name. As a result, both method1
and method2
return "B". Class2's around modifier modifies the alias, so method2
returns "B", but method1
continues to return "A".
