NAME
Mite::Manual::Features - other features provided by Mite
MANUAL
Class Methods
Your class can or will provide the following methods:
new( %attributes ) or new( \%attributes )
Constructor for your class. It takes some arguments and returns an object.
Mite generates this for you.
Mite automatically provides a similar feature to MooseX::StrictConstructor, so your constructor will die if you pass it unknown attributes.
BUILDARGS
Works as in Moose and allows your constructor to be called with something other than a hash of attributes. Mite does not generate this for you.
FOREIGNBUILDARGS
Works as in Moo and MooseX::NonMoose. Mite does not generate this for you.
BUILD / BUILDALL.
Works as in Moose. Mite generates BUILDALL for you.
DEMOLISH / DESTROY
Works as in Moose. Mite generates DESTROY for you.
On Perl older than 5.14, the $in_global_destruction argument will be undefined unless Devel::GlobalDestruction is installed, so add that to your project's dependencies if you are relying on it and need to support older versions of Perl.
DOES / does
DOES allows you to check if your class/object performs a particular role. See UNIVERSAL.
does is just an alias.
If you want to fake support for a role:
$Your::Project::SomeClass::DOES{'Your::Project::SomeRole'} = 1;strict
Mite will turn strict on for you.
warnings
Mite will turn warnings on for you.
Clean Classes
Mite will automatically import namespace::autoclean into your classes if it is installed on the end user's system. If it's not available, your classes will quietly be left with imported keywords cluttering up their namespace.
To force namespace::autoclean, then just use it manually:
use Your::Project::Mite;
use namespace::autoclean;To force it to not be used:
use Your::Project::Mite qw( -unclean );BUGS
