Overview

The MooX::Aliases module will allow you to quickly alias methods in Moo. It provides an alias parameter for has() to generate aliased accessors as well as the standard ones. Attributes can also be initialized in the constructor via their aliased names.

You can create more than one alias at once by passing a listref:

  has ip_addr => (
    alias => [ qw(ipAddr ip) ],
  );

Functions

alias $alias, $method

Creates $alias as a method that is aliased to $method.

Caveats

This module uses the "BUILDARGS" to map the attributes. If a class uses a custom "BUILDARGS", this module may not behave properly.
