NAME

CatalystX::Component::Traits - Automatic Trait Loading and Resolution for Catalyst Components

VERSION

Version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

package Catalyst::Model::SomeModel;
with 'CatalystX::Component::Traits';

package MyApp::Model::MyModel;
use parent 'Catalyst::Model::SomeModel';

package MyApp;

__PACKAGE__->config('Model::MyModel' => {
    traits => ['SearchedForTrait', '+Fully::Qualified::Trait']
});

DESCRIPTION

Adds a "COMPONENT" in Catalyst::Component method to your Catalyst component base class that reads the optional traits parameter from app and component config and instantiates the component subclass with those traits using "new_with_traits" in MooseX::Traits from MooseX::Traits::Pluggable.

TRAIT SEARCH

Trait names qualified with a + are taken to be full package names.

Unqualified names are searched for, using the algorithm described below.

EXAMPLE

Suppose your inheritance hierarchy is:

MyApp::Model::MyModel
Catalyst::Model::CatModel
Catalyst::Model
Catalyst::Component
Moose::Object

The configuration is:

traits => ['Foo']

The package search order for Foo will be:

MyApp::TraitFor::Model::CatModel::Foo
Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::CatModel::Foo

A MORE PATHOLOGICAL EXAMPLE

For:

My::App::Controller::AController
CatalystX::Something::ControllerBase::SomeController
Catalyst::Controller
Catalyst::Model
Catalyst::Component
Moose::Object

With:

traits => ['Foo']

Search order for Foo will be:

My::App::TraitFor::Controller::SomeController::Foo
CatalystX::Something::TraitFor::Controller::SomeController::Foo

The Base after (M|V|C) is automatically removed.
