NAME

MooseX::App::Plugin::Depends - Adds dependent options

SYNOPSIS

In your base class:

package MyApp;
use MooseX::App qw(Depends);

use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

option 'FileFormat' => (
  is  => 'ro',
  isa => enum( [qw(tsv csv xml)] ),
);

option 'WriteToFile' => ( 
  is       => 'ro',
  isa      => 'Bool',
  depends => [qw(FileFormat)],
);

In your script:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings; 

use MyApp;

MyApp->new_with_options( WriteToFile => 1 );
# generates Error
# Option 'WriteToFile' requires 'FileFormat' to be defined

MyApp->new_with_options( WriteToFile => 1, FileFormat => 'tsv );
# generates no errors 

MyApp->new_with_options(); 
# generates no errors

DESCRIPTION

In many real-world scenarios, sets of options are, by design, needed to be specified together. This plugin adds the ability to create dependent options to your application, options that require one or more other options for your application to perform properly.
