Moo::Role3pm

Usage

  package My::Role;
  use Moo::Role;
  use strictures 2;
  sub foo { ... }
  sub bar { ... }
  has baz => (
    is => 'ro',
  );
  1;

  package Some::Class;
  use Moo;
  use strictures 2;
  # bar gets imported, but not foo
  with 'My::Role';
  sub foo { ... }
  1;

Overview

"Moo::Role" builds upon Role::Tiny, so look there for most of the documentation on how this works (in particular, using "Moo::Role" also enables strict and warnings). The main addition here is extra bits to make the roles more "Moosey;" which is to say, it adds "has".

Imported subroutines

See "IMPORTED SUBROUTINES" in Role::Tiny for all the other subroutines that are imported by this module.

  has attr => (
    is => 'ro',
  );

Cleaning up imports

Moo::Role cleans up its own imported methods and any imports declared before the "use Moo::Role" statement automatically. Anything imported after "use Moo::Role" will be composed into consuming packages. A package that consumes this role:

  package My::Role::ID;
  use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);
  use Moo::Role;
  use Digest::SHA qw(sha1_hex);
  requires 'name';
  sub as_md5  { my ($self) = @_; return md5_hex($self->name);  }
  sub as_sha1 { my ($self) = @_; return sha1_hex($self->name); }
  1;

..will now have a "$self->sha1_hex()" method available to it that probably does not do what you expect. On the other hand, a call to "$self->md5_hex()" will die with the helpful error message: "Can't locate object method "md5_hex"".

See "CLEANING UP IMPORTS" in Moo for more details.
