NAME
MooX::Const - Syntactic sugar for constant and write-once Moo attributes
VERSION
version v0.2.2
SYNOPSIS
use Moo;
use MooX::Const;
use Types::Standard -types;
has thing => (
is => 'const',
isa => ArrayRef[HashRef],
);DESCRIPTION
This is syntactic sugar for using Types::Const with Moo. The SYNOPSIS above is equivalent to:
use Types::Const -types;
has thing => (
is => 'ro',
isa => Const[ArrayRef[HashRef]],
coerce => 1,
);It modifies the has function to support "const" attributes. These are read-only ("ro") attributes for references, where the underlying data structure has been set as read-only.
This will return an error if there is no "isa", the "isa" is not a Type::Tiny type, if it is not a reference, or if it is blessed object.
Simple value types such as Int or Str are silently converted to read-only attributes.
As of v0.2.0, it also supports write-once ("wo") attributes for references:
has setting => (
is => 'wo',
isa => HashRef,
);This allows you to set the attribute once. The value is coerced into a constant, and cannot be changed again.
ROADMAP
Support for Perl versions earlier than 5.10 will be removed sometime in 2019.
