37 MooX::HandlesVia is an extension of Moo's 'handles' attribute
38 functionality. It provides a means of proxying functionality from an
39 external class to the given atttribute. This is most commonly used as a
40 way to emulate 'Native Trait' behavior that has become commonplace in
41 Moose code, for which there was no Moo alternative.
42
44 Due to current Moo implementation details there are some deficiencies
45 in how MooX::HandlesVia in comparison to what you would expect from
46 Moose native traits.
47
48 · methods delegated via the Moo 'handles' interface are passed the
49 attribue value directly. and there is no way to access the parent
50 class. This means if an attribute is updated any triggers or type
51 coercions WILL NOT fire.
52
53 · Moo attribute method delegations are passed the attribute value.
54 This is fine for references (objects, arrays, hashrefs..) it means
55 simple scalar types are READ ONLY. This unfortunately means Number,
56 String, Counter, Bool cannot modify the attributes value, rendering
57 them largely useless.
58
60 process_has(@_)
61 MooX::HandlesVia preprocesses arguments passed to has() attribute
62 declarations via the process_has function. In a given Moo class, If
63 'handles_via' is set to a ClassName string, and 'handles' is set
64 with a hashref mapping of desired moo class methods that should map
65 to ClassName methods, process_has() will create the appropriate
66 binding to create the mapping IF ClassName provides that named
67 method.
