13           # -- a basic class -- #
14           package User;
15           use Method::Signatures::Simple;
16
17           method new ($class: $name, $email) {
18               my $user = {
19                   id    => new_id(42),
20                   name  => $name,

45           # use a different function keyword

RATIONALE

54       This module provides basic "method" and "func" keywords with simple
55       signatures. It's intentionally simple, and is supposed to be a stepping
56       stone for its bigger brothers MooseX::Method::Signatures and
57       Method::Signatures.  It only has a small benefit over regular subs, so
58       if you want more features, look at those modules.  But if you're
59       looking for a small amount of syntactic sugar, this might just be
60       enough.
61

FEATURES

63       •   invocant
64
65           The "method" keyword automatically injects the annoying "my $self =
66           shift;" for you. You can rename the invocant with the first
67           argument, followed by a colon:
68
69               method ($this:) {}
70               method ($this: $that) {}
71
72           The "func" keyword doesn't inject an invocant, but does do the
73           signature processing below:
74
75               func ($that) {}
76
77       •   signature
78
79           The signature "($sig)" is transformed into "my ($sig) = \@_;". That
80           way, we mimic perl's usual argument handling.
81
82               method foo ($bar, $baz, %opts) {
83               func xyzzy ($plugh, @zorkmid) {
84
85               # becomes
86
87               sub foo {
88                   my $self = shift;
89                   my ($bar, $baz, %opts) = @_;
90
91               sub xyzzy {
92                   my ($plugh, @zorkmid) = @_;
93

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

95       Since this module subclasses Devel::Declare::MethodInstaller::Simple,
96       you can change the keywords and the default invocant with import
97       arguments. These changes affect the current scope.
98
99       •   change the invocant name
100
101               use Method::Signatures::Simple invocant => '$this';
102               method x { $this->{x} }
103               method y { $this->{y} }
104
105               # and this of course still works:
106               method z ($self:) { $self->{z} }
107
108       •   change the keywords
109
110           You can install a different keyword (instead of the default
111           'method' and 'func'), by passing names to the "use" line:
112
113               use Method::Signatures::Simple method_keyword   => 'action',
114                                              function_keyword => 'thing';
115
116               action foo ($some, $args) { ... }
117               thing bar ($whatever) { ... }
118
119           One benefit of this is that you can use this module together with
120           e.g.  MooseX::Declare:
121
122               # untested
123               use MooseX::Declare;
124
125               class Foo {
126                   use Method::Signatures::Simple method_keyword => 'routine';
127                   method x (Int $x) { ... }    # from MooseX::Method::Signatures
128                   routine y ($y) { ... }       # from this module
129               }
130
131           If you specify neither "method_keyword" nor "function_keyword",
132           then we default to injecting "method" and "func". If you only
133           specify one of these options, then we only inject that one keyword
134           into your scope.
135
136           Examples:
137
138               # injects 'method' and 'func'
139               use Method::Signatures::Simple;
140
141               # only injects 'action'
142               use Method::Signatures::Simple method_keyword => 'action';
143
144               # only injects 'procedure'
145               use Method::Signatures::Simple function_keyword => 'procedure';
146
147               # injects 'action' and 'function'
148               use Method::Signatures::Simple method_keyword   => 'action',
149                                              function_keyword => 'function';
150
151       •   install several keywords
152
153           You're not limited to a single "use" line, so you can install
154           several keywords with the same semantics as 'method' into the
155           current scope:
156
157               use Method::Signatures::Simple; # provides 'method' and 'func'
158               use Method::Signatures::Simple method_keyword => 'action';
159
160               method x { ... }
161               func y { ... }
162               action z { ... }
