6 Moose::Cookbook - How to cook a Moose
7
9 version 2.2013
10
12 The Moose cookbook is a series of recipes showing various Moose
13 features. Most recipes present some code demonstrating some feature,
14 and then explain the details of the code.
15 You should probably read the Moose::Manual first. The manual explains
17 Moose concepts without being too code-heavy.
18
20 Basic Moose
21 These recipes will give you a good overview of Moose's capabilities,
22 starting with simple attribute declaration, and moving on to more
23 powerful features like laziness, types, type coercion, method
24 modifiers, and more.
25 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing
27 A simple Moose-based class. Demonstrates basic Moose attributes and
28 subclassing.
29 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::BankAccount_MethodModifiersAndSubclassing
31 A slightly more complex Moose class. Demonstrates using a method
32 modifier in a subclass.
33 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::BinaryTree_AttributeFeatures
35 Demonstrates several attribute features, including types, weak
36 references, predicates ("does this object have a foo?"), defaults,
37 laziness, and triggers.
38 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Company_Subtypes
40 Introduces the creation and use of custom types, a "BUILD" method,
41 and the use of "override" in a subclass. This recipe also shows how
42 to model a set of classes that could be used to model companies,
43 people, employees, etc.
44 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::HTTP_SubtypesAndCoercion
46 This recipe covers more subtype creation, including the use of type
47 coercions.
48 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Immutable
50 Making a class immutable greatly increases the speed of accessors
51 and object construction.
52 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::BinaryTree_BuilderAndLazyBuild - Builder
54 methods and lazy_build
55 The builder feature provides an inheritable and role-composable way
56 to provide a default attribute value.
57 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Genome_OverloadingSubtypesAndCoercion
59 Demonstrates using operator overloading, coercion, and subtypes to
60 model how eye color is determined during reproduction.
61 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Person_BUILDARGSAndBUILD
63 This recipe demonstrates the use of "BUILDARGS" and "BUILD" to hook
64 into object construction.
65 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::DateTime_ExtendingNonMooseParent
67 In this recipe, we make a Moose-based subclass of DateTime, a
68 module which does not use Moose itself.
69 Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Document_AugmentAndInner
71 Demonstrates the use of "augment" method modifiers, a way of
72 turning the usual method overriding style "inside-out".
73 Moose Roles
75 These recipes will show you how to use Moose roles.
76 Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Comparable_CodeReuse
78 Demonstrates roles, which are also sometimes known as traits or
79 mix-ins. Roles provide a method of code re-use which is orthogonal
80 to subclassing.
81 Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Restartable_AdvancedComposition
83 Sometimes you just want to include part of a role in your class.
84 Sometimes you want the whole role but one of its methods conflicts
85 with one in your class. With method exclusion and aliasing, you can
86 work around these problems.
87 Moose::Cookbook::Roles::ApplicationToInstance
89 In this recipe, we apply a role to an existing object instance.
90 Meta Moose
92 These recipes show you how to write your own meta classes, which lets
93 you extend the object system provided by Moose.
94 Moose::Cookbook::Meta::WhyMeta
96 If you're wondering what all this "meta" stuff is, and why you
97 should care about it, read this "recipe".
98 Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Labeled_AttributeTrait
100 Extending Moose's attribute metaclass is a great way to add
101 functionality. However, attributes can only have one metaclass.
102 Applying roles to the attribute metaclass lets you provide
103 composable attribute functionality.
104 Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Table_MetaclassTrait
106 This recipe takes the class metaclass we saw in the previous recipe
107 and reimplements it as a metaclass trait.
108 Moose::Cookbook::Meta::PrivateOrPublic_MethodMetaclass
110 This recipe shows a custom method metaclass that implements making
111 a method private.
112 Moose::Cookbook::Meta::GlobRef_InstanceMetaclass
114 This recipe shows an example of how you create your own meta-
115 instance class. The meta-instance determines the internal structure
116 of object instances and provide access to attribute slots.
117 In this particular instance, we use a blessed glob reference as the
119 instance instead of a blessed hash reference.
120 Hooking into immutabilization (TODO)
122 Moose has a feature known as "immutabilization". By calling
123 "__PACKAGE__->meta()->make_immutable()" after defining your class
124 (attributes, roles, etc), you tell Moose to optimize things like
125 object creation, attribute access, and so on.
126 If you are creating your own metaclasses, you may need to hook into
128 the immutabilization system. This cuts across a number of spots,
129 including the metaclass class, meta method classes, and possibly
130 the meta-instance class as well.
131 This recipe shows you how to write extensions which immutabilize
133 properly.
134 Extending Moose
136 These recipes cover some more ways to extend Moose, and will be useful
137 if you plan to write your own "MooseX" module.
138 Moose::Cookbook::Extending::ExtensionOverview
140 There are quite a few ways to extend Moose. This recipe provides an
141 overview of each method, and provides recommendations for when each
142 is appropriate.
143 Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Debugging_BaseClassRole
145 Many base object class extensions can be implemented as roles. This
146 example shows how to provide a base object class debugging role
147 that is applied to any class that uses a notional
148 "MooseX::Debugging" module.
149 Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Mooseish_MooseSugar
151 This recipe shows how to provide a replacement for "Moose.pm". You
152 may want to do this as part of the API for a "MooseX" module,
153 especially if you want to default to a new metaclass class or base
154 object class.
155
157 Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Keywords
158 Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Types
159
161 These cover topics that are no longer considered best practice. We've
162 kept them in case in you encounter these usages in the wild.
163 Moose::Cookbook::Legacy::Labeled_AttributeMetaclass
165 Moose::Cookbook::Legacy::Table_ClassMetaclass
166 Moose::Cookbook::Legacy::Debugging_BaseClassReplacement
