NAME

MooseX::Aliases - easy aliasing of methods and attributes in Moose

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Aliases;

has this => (
    isa   => 'Str',
    is    => 'rw',
    alias => 'that',
);

sub foo { say $self->that }
alias foo => 'bar';

$o = MyApp->new();
$o->this('Hello World');
$o->bar; # prints 'Hello World'

or

package MyApp::Role;
use Moose::Role;

has this => (
    isa   => 'Str',
    is    => 'rw',
    traits => [qw(Aliased)],
    alias => 'that',
);

sub foo { say $self->that }
alias foo => 'bar';

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.

EXPORTS

alias METHODNAME ALIAS

Gives the METHODNAME method an alias of ALIAS.

TODO

  • Subsume MooseX::MultiInitArgs, make it so that init_arg can take an ArrayRef has foo => ( init_arg => [qw(foo bar baz)], )

BUGS/CAVEATS

Currently, to use MooseX::Aliased in a role, you will need to explicitly associate the metaclass trait with your attribute. This is because Moose won't automatically apply metaclass traits to attributes in roles. The example in SYNOPSIS should work.

Please report any bugs through RT: email bug-moosex-aliases at rt.cpan.org, or browse to http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=MooseX-Aliases.
