NAME

MooX::Aspartame - it seems sweet, but it probably has long-term adverse health effects

SYNOPSIS

use MooX::Aspartame;

role NamedThing {
   has name => (is => "ro", isa => Str);
}

class Person with NamedThing;

class Company with NamedThing;

class Employee extends Person {
   has job_title => (is => "rwp", isa => Str);
   has employer  => (is => "rwp", isa => InstanceOf["Company"]);
   
   method change_job ( (Object) $employer, (Str) $title ) {
      $self->_set_job_title($title);
      $self->_set_employer($employer);
   }
   
   method promote ( (Str) $title ) {
      $self->_set_job_title($title);
   }
}

DESCRIPTION

This is something like a lightweight MooseX::Declare. It gives you three keywords:

class

Declares a class. By default this uses Moo. But it's possible to promote a class to Moose with the using option:

class Employee using Moose { ... }

Other options for classes are extends for setting a parent class, and with for composing roles.

role

Declares a role using Moo::Role. This also supports using Moose, and with.

exporter

Declares a utilities package. This supports a providing option to add function names to @EXPORT_OK.

exporter Utils providing find_person, find_company {
   fun find_person ( (Str) $name ) {
      ...;
   }
   fun find_company ( (Str) $name ) {
      ...;
   }
}

use Utils find_person => { -as => "get_person" };
my $bob = get_person("Bob");

Exporters are built using Exporter::TypeTiny.

Within the packages declared by these keywords, the following features are always available:

It is possible to inject other functions into all packages using:

use MooX::Aspartame [
   'List::Util'      => [qw( first reduce )],
   'List::MoreUtils' => [qw( any all none )],
];

In the "outer" package (where MooX::Aspartame is used), Try::Tiny and true are provided.
