Please wait until Simo will be stable.

FEATURES

Simo is framework that simplify Object Oriented Perl.

The feature is that

2. new method is prepared.
3. You can define default value of attribute.
4. Error object is thrown, when error is occured.

If you use Simo, you are free from bitter work writing new methods and accessors repeatedly.

SYNOPSIS

#Class definition
package Book;
use Simo;

sub title{ ac }
sub author{ ac }
sub price{ ac }

# Using class
use Book;
my $book = Book->new( title => 'a', author => 'b', price => 1000 );

# Default value of attribute
sub author{ ac default => 'Kimoto' }

#Automatically build of attribute
sub author{ ac auto_build => 1 }
sub build_author{ 
    my $self = shift;
    $self->author( $self->title . "b" );
}

sub title{ ac default => 'a' }

# Constraint of attribute setting
use Simo::Constrain qw( is_int isa );
sub price{ ac constrain => sub{ is_int } }
sub author{ ac constrain => sub{ isa 'Person' } }

# Filter of attribute setting
sub author{ ac filter => sub{ uc } }

# Trigger of attribute setting

sub date{ ac trigger => sub{ $_->year( substr( $_->date, 0, 4 ) ) } } 
sub year{ ac }

# Read only accessor
sub year{ ac read_only => 1 }

# Hash ref convert of attribute setting
sub country_id{ ac hash_force => 1 }

# Required attributes
sub REQUIRED_ATTRS{ qw( title author ) }

# Inheritance
package Magazine;
use Simo( base => 'Book' );

# Mixin
package Book;
use Simo( mixin => 'Class::Cloneable' );

# new method include
package Book;
use Simo( new => 'Some::New::Class' );

new

new method is prepared.

use Book;
my $book = Book->new( title => 'a', author => 'b', price => 1000 );

new_self_and_parent

new_self_and_parent resolve the inheritance of no Simo based class;

$self->new_self_and_parent( @_, [ 'title', 'author' ] );

$self->new_self_and_parent( { self_args => [], parent_args => [] } );

REQUIRED_ATTRS

this method is expected to override.
